Relative to the early Fellini shot several neo-realist film, "liar" is not subject to a work of particular concern, which is included in the " Solitude Trilogy" line of the second part of the column, and " road "and" Kabylia night "with more than like much, but it does not prevent it one of the best works of Fellini. The level of biscuits is limited. In fact, I shouldn’t have written this text, but I still have a lot of feelings after watching the movie. Therefore, the following views only represent my own thoughts. If there is any discrepancy, please correct me.

Audience's Visual Cognition on Fast Food Aesthetics
The Italian neo-realism, listed as one of the "five major movie genres" , exists as a milestone in the development of world cinema, and its influence on future generations cannot be underestimated. In fact, Chinese films have been adhering to the creative line of realism from the very beginning, and even created the brilliance of realism as early as the 1930s. But this kind of realism has encountered an awkward situation in the Chinese film market in recent years. When Chinese movies are getting more and more Hollywood, is this a good thing?
Jia Zhangke once said: “Our entire nation’s knowledge and understanding of vision really needs to be improved and improved.” In other words, the current visual perception of the major audiences in the entire Chinese film market is becoming more popular . It is also the fact that most viewers would rather spend money to watch commercial films piled up with plots and special effects, but wonder why the up-and-coming independent films at international film festivals are so boring.
The film "Liar" is very realistic, but at the same time it has a certain degree of visibility, especially in the second half of the film, Augusto dressed in the cloak of a bishop, facing the huge struggle of human nature, still chose to maintain My own selfish desires, and the plot design that eventually dies of bleak death, correspond to the dramatic ending and causal cycle setting routines in black humor movies. This deconstruction of "deception in deception" not only brings truth and truth to the audience. The complex feelings of absurd coexistence also broke the audience's perception of God's viewing experience throughout the entire process.
Application of documentary aesthetics
The liar pretends to be a missionary to deceive people and money. Because of the unfair distribution of the spoils, he is beaten to death by his companions on the edge of the cliff. The result of the final deception failure is that he deserves his double selfishness. Although the plot of this movie is not comparable to the ups and downs of genre movies, it respects the integrity of life events itself, and uses a way of looking up and listening to give the audience a real look and feel, and the sense of reality is highly respected by documentary aesthetics . A core idea.
Taking "Liar" as an example, it can be found that in Italian neorealism films, documentary has been paid special attention. For too many films nowadays, in order to better satisfy the audience's perception and experience, the director has to make the plot more complicated. Transformation and dramatization have caused the movie itself to lose more valuable things that can bring people thinking besides carrying the story of the movie.
After the Second World War, Italian films have undergone drastic changes under the combined influence of Soviet films and social reality. Fellini began to prefer to focus the lens on the real society, pushing the image of a large number of ordinary people to the screen. Based on this, a group of Criticism of neo-realistic film works have been launched one after another. Italian film has developed rapidly under the impact of this wave. While it has attracted the attention of world films, it has also used documentary shooting techniques to preserve the sadness and depression of the people at the bottom of the Italian society after the war. Sad. Affected by this, the film "The Liar" uses a lot of long and fixed shots , which not only brings the audience a unique experience of liveness and alienation consciousness, but also reveals some of the people behind the hustle and bustle of life after the war. The true nature of hidden.
Personal pity
The scammers in the movie are all eager to get rid of the poor class who are easily deceived. Poverty is their selfish original sin , and their unconcealed roots of inferiority indirectly become accomplices to pay for the upper class and accumulate wealth. The movie will play the special role of "liars". As a breakthrough, it shows the ignorance of the bottom people in real life . As unfortunate people, they long for happiness, but they plunder the unfortunate people who are in the same class as themselves. Poor people must be hateful, and the final ending also takes care of this.
At the end of the movie, the liar in his twilight years, with his back hunched and ragged, climbing on a muddy road to hell, maybe before he died, the sins of his life will come to mind frame by frame, youthful The surly, middle-aged absurdity cuts through time like a bayonet, the blood is stretched, and the life course is quenched into dust, but the communication is full of nothingness, and the wind blows away. The music at the end is also particularly suitable. In the cold wind, the liar who gradually loses his life uses himself to explain to the audience what is human loneliness.
The slutty woman saves the body, the pure woman saves the soul
The body of the dandy must be redeemed by the slut on the side of the road, while for a man with a family, his daughter and wife are his ultimate spiritual home . Whether it is the wife of the young liar Picasso in the film, or the daughter of the old liar Augusto, or the girl who moved Augusto a little bit of kindness at the end of the film, these female characters portrayed in specific shots are themselves. For the salvation of men , this role design is not only an indispensable display of women in traditional Italian families for men, but also contains the male confession and guilt towards women in the director’s early works.
The loneliness that Fellini showed in this movie may be more through a story of warmth and despair. This story about a liar is very ordinary, and even makes people feel sleepy, but if you taste it carefully, you will be Inside, I saw the loneliness hidden behind the excitement, which is a cruelty that belongs to life alone.
