This 1965 color film is still full of the innocent eyes of Masina, who plays Juliet, a high-society lady who has been married for 15 years and suddenly loses her peace on the night of her wedding anniversary. Whispers do not know whether it is a hint or a prophecy: poor people! She found out that her husband was having an affair, but she refused to believe it, because she lived to love him, manage a life with him, and take care of the flowers and animals in the garden.
According to my own understanding, I divide the layered story into several times Juliet’s feelings of seeking help from the outside world: Juliet is willing to let the devotees try to solve the puzzle, but in the eyes of this Indian master Bisima, love is only sex, she is deeply Obsessed with carnal life. This is so different from Juliet's understanding of love: love is art, not work. Juliet met Jos from Spain, he gave her a "forgotten drink", it meant to quench all cravings, he told her that the life of a matador was "pure heart, clean mind, standard action", he said that plants are Because being loved is beautiful, Juliet smiled, and so was love as she understood it. She was willing to let the detective come to help her explore the truth. The detective warned her that knowing this secret personal space meant a burden and accepting punishment, and Juliet chose to accept it. When she saw her husband betray her on camera, her heart was broken.
These are things that happened in reality. Juliet suffered too much torment, so she had to act out a scene for herself. From the nap dream at the seaside, she has been crying for help and crying, whether in reality or in reality. In the fantasy, she is so weak, and the scene outside is luxurious and magnificent, sometimes the sun is full and sometimes the light and shadow are gorgeous, no one has time to take care of her, and no one has the heart to experience love. The heroine at the dance becomes her neighbor. The neighbor has various venues and ways to enjoy love. Timely enjoyment is not suitable for Juliet. Even in fantasy, she can't let herself go. Because of the powerful belief, she denied it. Take Bisima's point of view and surrender yourself to the truth.
On the night when her husband is out and her lover is traveling, Juliet has been tortured to the point of madness by visions, her inner order is broken and broken, she traces the little saint she played in her childhood who was hanged high in the fire, is Grandpa rescued her, hugged her, and comforted her with the language of love. In this night, my grandfather rescued her again. It was still the simple plane of the circus. My grandfather understood love and understood the heartbreak of love. He said: We do not exist. At this time, Juliet broke free. The end of the film is the green tree under the sunlight. I think Juliet has re-established a viable order in her heart.
Faced with the predicament of married life, some people escape, and some people rely on their own strong heart to successfully transcend this terrible field. Juliet is of course the latter. Although she has asked for help too many times, it is ineffective. She relies on her strong belief in love to get rid of the shadows and nightmares, although she is still so weak and her smile is so far-fetched. We were not there, but we knew her hardships—no, there is not much hardship in reality, the inner enduring and restarting are the real hardships.
Fellini, homage to you far away, Fellini forever, free use of the scene and our freely expressed emotions. Because of the transparency you give to the film, we can still feel that era, which is actually the experience of human eternal love. We possess love, give and enjoy love, deprivation and betrayal, and our dreamy lives are alive with reality.
