Rome, be lucky

"Roman Style Painting" is full of various metaphors, but this one is the most interesting and topical:

In the young Fellini’s class, the children watched slides in front of a screen made of simple sheets. The first few seconds are still ancient Roman history. The wolf that nurtured the twin brothers, the projectionist accidentally cast the next second. Private work out-a woman's naked back and buttocks.

This is Rome, ancient, solemn, heavy, and full of lusty fireworks, usually vulgar, and occasionally lewd.

In this city where the Pope lives, the noisy night market on the street and the humming of the crowds in the theater are on stage every day. In the roar of the Romans, in the oil paint on the faces of the women in the field, the city is old and vibrant, exuding all the scents of human nature from the noblest to the most vulgar.

When watching movies, I am always curious: what would it be like if there was a movie like this about Beijing? Or about Shanghai? This is just boring speculation. Not to mention the culturally poor box, even the world's major cities, how can there be a movie like "Roman Style Painting" to paint their souls? London, New York, Paris, of course, there are countless documentary feature films trying to capture their style, but who can have such wild fantasies as Fellini?

Yes, Fellini, who loves Rome in his life, is like a magician in "Roman Style Painting": he let a group of expressionless ancient Roman soldiers walk through the railway station during World War II;

He let the huge subway digging diamond open a 2,000-year-old underground palace, and let the bright murals disappear when the fresh air invaded.

His creativity in the catholic fashion show was a cosmic explosion: monks and nuns stepped onto the catwalk and staged a catholic fashion show solemnly. Their slogan is: This worldly fashion must follow in the footsteps of God!

Seeing the giant headdress trembling on the nun's head, and the robes of the country missionary who made a gap for the bicycle wheel, you can only admire the imagination and creativity of Fellini and his team.

Yes, because of the "Roman Style Painting", the sacred and lustful charm in Rome's heart can be passed down to the world.

Therefore, Rome is lucky because she has Fellini.

Roma quotes

  • Narrator: On the other side of the Tiber, perhaps the most famous section of Rome. We have come here to complete our portrait of the city. It is where, every Summer, they celebrate the Festa de Noantri. Noantri means "ourselves." Appropriately, the Romans celebrate themselves.

  • Narrator: [at Festa de Noantri] Of course, people eat and drink. What else? Not much different from a thousand years ago or the beginning of this picture or ever and ever.
