Can't Laugh: Italian Meat Futon

Vita 2022-03-13 08:01:01

Stage play style, or full of dramatic colors, exaggerated shapes, prominent tones, both rich and abstract paintings, and even a little flat Ukiyo-e and oriental eaves...Romantic and cruel, naked but without desire . It can be said that the language of the camera clearly shows the director's attitude.

Love myth, or is the film about love?

Chapter 1: Youthful and bitter love without fruit - the confusion of the flowery world

Chapter Two: Money and Power - Poetic Death, Commitment to Slavery

Chapter 3: Blasphemy, Collapse of Faith - Loss of Phallic Power

Ending: regain strength, lose friends, refuse cannibalism, and start wandering. (For this ending, it is really like the way of the bones of Buddhism, the color decline and love, the protagonist overcomes it, but loses its meaning-no doubt he is jealous of the male charm of his friend)

This is the growth of a teenager, and it is irreversible and full of philosophical thinking. Don't praise it, it is indeed out of the Roman background, the Western cultural context, it is even more obscure. After watching: I can't laugh, choked and uncomfortable.

Fellini Satyricon quotes

  • Vernacchio: He's beautiful! And those muscles! He cost me 35 denari. A suckling pig weighing the same would cost a lot more!

  • Vernacchio: Sir, this boy is more than a wife. And what free citizen would sell his wife? He's neat. He's wise. I always come home to a lighted fire. And I'm training him in the great art of the stage. You'll see how well he'll play female roles: Helen of Memlaus, faithful Penelope, Cornelia. Such a treasure has no price!
