My husband makes movies.

We stood at the entrance of the cinema and looked at 5 colorful posters. Intuitively, we didn't even recognize the stars on the posters, so we decided to watch this movie.

When each song and dance sounded, it was the character's inner monologue. Singing and dancing have a great effect on exaggerating people's inner world, and at the same time it has a real and illusory effect. Originally, many times, our psychological thoughts are likely to be direct projections of reality, but other times, our inner monologue is another world that separates you from reality. When you sing your thoughts, it is more moving than straightforward language.

This is a women's drama, full of amorous feelings. My favorite is the protagonist’s wife, Marion Cotillard. She turned out to be the one who played "Two Little No Guess". Her role touched me the most. In front of the song she sang, everything I said was pale. This is the song she sang about his husband in the play, and it contains everything.

My husband makes movies.

To make them he lives a kind of dream
In which his actions aren't always
What they seem.
He may be on to some unique romantic
Theme.
Some men catch fish, some men tie
Flies,
Some earn their living baking bread.
My husband, he goes a little crazy
Making movies instead.

My husband spins fantasies,
He lives them, then gives them to you
All.
When he was working on the film on
Ancient Rome,
He made the slave girls take the
Gladiators home.
Some men buy stocks, some men punch
Clocks,
Some leap where others dare to tread.
My husband as author and director,
Makes up stories in his head.

Guido Contini, Luisa Contini,
Number one genius and number one fan,
Guido Contini, Luisa Contini,
Daughter of well-to-do Florentine
Clan,
Long ago, twenty years ago ,
Once the names were Guido Contini,
Luisa Del Forno,
Actress with dreams and a life of her
Own,
Passionate, wild and in love on Livorno,
Singing with Guido all night on the
Phone.
Long ago, someone else ago, how he
Needs me so,
And he'll be the last to know it.

My husband makes movies.
To make them, he makes himself
Obsessed.
He goes for weeks on end without a
Bit of rest,
No other way can he achiev his level
Best.

Some men read books, some shine their
shoes,
Some retire early when they've seen
The evening news.
My husband only rarely comes to bed,
My husband makes movies instead,
My husband...makes movies...
