"Armakod" 9.5
①
Fellini ran away from home as a child to go to town to see a circus show. Jugglers, clowns, flirtatious and fit girls, dances, parades, carnival performances, the beauty and grandeur left an indelible impression on him. Later, throughout his life, the films he made were like a "circus performance" ".
I always say, "All directors are just making the same movie over and over again in their lives." In fact, I can add, "And what they do is ultimately autobiographical or semi-autobiographical."
②
He loves the hustle and bustle of flowers and ribbons dancing, and also loves the desolate place after the carnival ends and the movie.
So at the end of "The Road", only Zambano is left with the loneliness of endless remorse, the love between the wandering entertainer and the clown, and in the end, only the waves are churning.
So how sweet is life in Roman high society, how empty it is to close the door and take off the mask of smirk.
That's why "Amakod" begins in the spring and must go to the winter, to the funeral of the mother. Then it's spring again, the dust and catkins are floating again, and the obsessed town goddess is married to an officer, and after the wedding, she will travel with her.
③
There is a "storyteller" in the movie. He always pushes his bicycle past, and then looks directly at the camera and chats with you, talking about the history of the town, and chatting about the family. We all know that it is a taboo for an actor to look directly at the camera. Direct visual contact with the audience will directly break the closed illusion of the film. Fellini chose to commit the taboo, not once or twice, but six times in total.
However, the "storyteller"'s rhetoric is always interrupted by others. Either someone deliberately made a strange sound of "puff" in the distance, or a pile of snowballs flew outside the frame. He interrupted the progress of the movie, and the movie It's wonderful to always interrupt his "alone" with the audience in turn.
④
The old man lost his way in the autumn fog and murmured, "If death were like this, I wouldn't think about it." Suddenly, he became frightened, "Where am I? Where is my home?" Turning around again, it turned out that he had been standing the whole time. at the door. Knowing that old age is approaching, and even repeatedly imagined the appearance of death, after all, it is hard to leave homeland in the world.
In the fog, the young man encountered a white cow like a mythical beast. The white cow stared at the young man quietly for a moment, then lowered his head and walked lazily into the branches and the fog.
⑤
There are always sluts and prostitutes in Fellini's stories, and there are always saints and mothers, the former giving a man's body and the latter redeeming his soul. Most men are weak and careless, either, they fail women repeatedly, or they wait helplessly for women to save them.
⑥
I bet Giuseppe Tonadore is an avid Fellini fan. His "Paradise Trilogy" is a tribute to Fellini everywhere, especially "Paradise Cinema."
⑦
It can already be concluded that this is the No.1 I have not tied for this year. Too bad I can't write a review worthy of it.
