Every day you are unhappy is not yours: you just waste it. No matter how you live as long as you are not happy, you have not lived .
The poet Perso once wrote so.
Poets tell us that happiness comes from extracting happiness from small, subtle things, such as learning to appreciate the beauty of the sunset reflected in a pond.
But these moments of life itself, we can grasp less and less, life is more of nothingness to us, overwhelmed emptiness and fear.
Emptiness and fear are conundrums for all of us, no matter what age or class.
Let the time go back to Rome in the 1960s, flowing sculptures, handsome men and women, wonderful feasts, hypocritical emotional games, gorgeous and sad scenes, the movie " Sweet Life " is very like Ferry A dream about revelry and loneliness made by Ni.
Next, let us follow the eyes of the protagonist Marcelo to explore a sweet and sad, carnival and lonely, prosperous but empty life dream.
The protagonist Marcelo has a handsome appearance, a fun job (newsman), he is well-dressed in luxury places in Rome every day, he has a girlfriend who loves him crazy, but he is not satisfied, he plays with different women. Playing emotional games, the soul drinks alone without a blind date.
Facing the emptiness of his own prosperous life, Marcelo felt inexplicably afraid, but the more afraid he was, the more he could not do without the hustle and bustle of this life.
He and his lover, Madeleine, explore their inner world of desire, and they put on a good show.
Madeleine, who was born in a famous family, is a hypocritical and decadent woman. She suddenly wanted to send a middle-aged prostitute home, so the two of them drove her to her home. Facing the prostitute's shabby home, they had no interest in it. made love.
Met at a banquet, Madeleine took Marcelo to a mysterious palace, she said she wanted to marry him, and he poured out his love for her to her, who knew that Madeleine was hiding elsewhere Na and his other lover played sex games at this time, and Marcelo, who could not find Madeleine, left, and then accepted a sex invitation from a middle-aged woman.
Really, very moving irony!
The encounter between Marcelo and Sylvia is a wonderful dream. Coquettish and innocent, Sylvia is such a beauty that you can't take your eyes off her.
The frantic dance of blond Sylvia at the banquet fascinated everyone.
Sylvia, who looked like a kitten on her head, fell in love with Marcelo again, and he had to follow her desperately.
The scene of Sylvia in the fountain of the Trevi Fountain is undoubtedly the most beautiful scene. With just a picture, I believe that many people will want to watch this movie.
The two spent a short happy time, each receiving a slap from Sylvia's fiancé. The price of an anecdote was a slap, which was not painful for Marcelo at all.
Even more exciting is the scene where Marcelo's father came to visit. The father suddenly came to visit his son. Marcelo took him to a bar to play. Compared with his son who was trapped in a woman, his father was not at a disadvantage at all. He opened two bottles of champagne. After flirting with a dancer in a bar, but eventually falling ill at the dancer's house, Marcelo rushes to visit his father, who sees an old father in terror.
Undoubtedly, my father is also afraid, he is afraid of the old body, afraid of his own powerlessness day by day.
Marcelo's friend Steiner is a near-perfect man. He has a charming wife and a pair of lovely children. In Marcelo's view, his life is full of happiness and harmony. He should have nothing to fear. And provided Marcelo with a yearning model of life.
In the relationship with Steiner, Marcelo gained a short-lived hope and solace in life. Steiner has such a perfect family, and their family also has regular friend chats, which also allows Marcelo to gain. Short-lived happiness, even he started writing again.
Unexpectedly, Steiner ended up killing his own pair of children and then shooting himself.
collapse! This blow undoubtedly made Marcelo even more desperate.
So, Marcelo's carnival was more vigorously staged...
One of the most unforgettable banquets was staged towards the end, when the female male danced and undressed in a seductive manner.
At this time, Marcelo was even more crazy, riding on a drunk woman with feathers in his hands, crazy and lost, like a farewell to himself.
All the emptiness and despair are condensed in the eyes of the half-dead big fish at the end of the film. Fellini gave the big fish's eyes a close-up with great precision, ah, what a desolate and decisive look.
See collapse in sweetness, loneliness in endless carnival.
"The Sweet Life " is so beautiful and so hopeless , the absurdity, numbness, nothingness and fear of life are vividly displayed in it.
