After watching the movie, many movie lovers have been constantly speculating about the relationship between the Fellini couple. For example, they suspect that Fellini, who has never been rumored, must have cheated, or even think that Fellini who has cheated and has no rumors is special. Has the charm of a powerful man and is full of mystery. I think it's all a personal and biased understanding of Fellini and cinema.
First of all, a man has an infinite desire for power and money and makes an extraordinary effort for it. He must be very eager for the beautiful opposite sex and try to possess it, but everything in this world is in line with dialectics. If a man his Life is all about living for it, not working well on set, or combining work and play, having fun at work, working while having fun, ignoring actors, never ending to actresses To preach the so-called 'acting skills', even if such a director has a certain status and fame, or even won many awards, his works must reflect the society and the world in an incomplete, one-sided, false, or even self-righteous manner of. Trying to look down on his audience with a high-profile view of art and philosophy. If the director does not love his audience, he will not be able to make any outstanding works that will last forever in human history. So I think Fellini was able to take the character of Juliet so finely and let the actress play the role without any pressure. At least we can feel that Fellini did not place women in a subordinate position to men. , that is, like the saying about bullfighting in the film, although bullfighting is about killing bulls, it is an art, a well-controlled art, and there is respect and sanctity in each other's hearts. There is awe, so such poetic slaughter of cattle is an art.
This film is very typographic and does not follow a conventional narrative style, so even giving five stars is not suitable for all audiences to watch, and the type of women reflected in the film can be said to have a common problem, but It does not have a sense of universality, that is to say, even if the audience has the same contradiction, because they cannot introspect themselves, they do not necessarily get anything in the film.
I have seen women like Juliet in real life, they always prefer white clothes, they seem pure or some are more dignified, (not all of them are dignified) but they are not feminine at all, they are very delicate but very no taste. The words that are often said or the content of consciousness is: "He (spouse) needs me." The neighbors go on a trip, she does not go, she tells stories that can make everyone dizzy. She takes care of her family, is a little conscientious in every detail, and doesn't pay much attention to it. When only male friends are present at home, she will take the initiative to avoid it. Her consciousness stands on the moral commanding heights in a vacuum. There was nothing wrong with her, she didn't break any laws, but a woman like her was boring, even hopeless - she couldn't bring any imagination.
I don't think it's possible to think about imagination here. Imagination is not coquettish or even serious. Can it be said that Juliet is not cute?
Juliet is at ease with the mediocre to prepare this home, with instrumental comfort and perfection, but the home is cool, like her unfeminine clothes—the same solid colors, cut without romance.
But what is the most expensive thing for such a woman as a person? It can be seen that his husband, who is troubled by the tasteless life, needs a little imagination, but he still respects Juliet and the family. Lying still shows he still needs the home, Juliet, and doesn't appear rude or unreasonable.
As the detective said, these videos are all based on what Juliet thinks. Without substantively catching rape in bed, he may just long for the romance and beauty of women, and he needs to be angry.
Perhaps because Juliet's grandfather's elopement has affected Juliet, she has higher moral requirements for both sexes.
I have seen many male film critics write about this type of film and say that they really can't bear to spend their whole life with the same woman, and they agree very much with Western wife swapping.
Not being able to live with people for a lifetime is not a particularly big problem, but the problem is that the idea of succession is very degenerate and unbearable if it coexists with it. Wanting to have fun is conditional and legally recognized in this day and age, but one cannot realize these ideas at the expense of the happiness of others. If one cannot live with others for a lifetime, then seek out someone who has the same ideas. , instead of giving people the illusion of living in peace, or chasing after a woman who wants to stabilize the life of a member of the group, and then dumping the other party to her parents after marriage. Or it is also very contemptible to be unable to provide life security for the other party but to ravage other people's lives. These are not excuses for a man to 'forgive me for the bohemian love of my life'.
The film itself does not discuss this issue, but Juliet's dullness gives many moviegoers this excuse. And we can see that the husband in the film is still fulfilling his obligation to protect Juliet's life, and it has not affected Juliet's life, nor has it disappeared for more than half a year.
Therefore, I think the reality is closer to the fact that the wife is indifferent and the person is handed over. It is similar to what the detective said. These videos can explain something, but they can't explain anything. It all depends on what people think. From the age of Juliet, she can choose how she wants to live, not desperate.
The film is full of surrealism, but the director did not show off his skills or scorn the audience, but only reflected his boundless imagination and deep thinking about the world.
The in-depth thinking of a movie does not have to be historical or political, nor does it have to be metaphors about this aspect to be called a great artwork. The ability to analyze the human nature of each character thoroughly and logically is to test the skill of the screenwriter and director. the touchstone. For this film and this type of film, we really don't need to break down the whole "word by word" analysis like "reading comprehension" and appreciation of "ancient poetry". The director's fantastical pictures all serve to shape the character of Juliet, rather than the unexplained analysis of some fragments, which is half-understood and even interpretations with intellectual errors. So the core of the film is actually very 'grounded'.
Movies that are too real—too one-sided or uninteresting—and too fanciful and fanciful are inappropriate and hard to applaud.
