Crafty Autobiographical Mind Puzzles for Procrastinators

First of all, I would like to say that I have offended the iron fans and young people. It is purely personal opinion. Advice is welcome, and brainless spraying is rejected.

Interlude: When I was a child, the representative of the Chinese class in the class was hand-picked by the teacher to write a composition. He needed to recite and explain in front of the whole class during class on Monday. After a weekend of crazy play, he sat at the desk on Sunday night, and his thoughts were flying. Zheng Zheng, at the last moment when he was able to hold his eyelids after scribbling on the ground, put together all the pieces, hurriedly drafted, showed a sly smile, and fell asleep soundly.

In view of Fellini's strong Roman complex, I have to say the background of the times and review the history of Rome:

Needless to say, the former thousand-year-old empire of Rome, the Holy See in Rome controls the whole world. The decline of Eastern Rome led to the rise of the Renaissance from Italy, which swept Europe and opened up modern history. The chaos brought about by the defeat of Italy in World War I contributed to the rise of fascists, and World War II was a complete mess. After the war, because of the Cold War, the United States specially attracted more Marshall funds, abolished the monarchy, eradicated fascism, established a free economic system, erected a neutral banner and focused on development. The Fiat cars of Turin, which sell well all over the world, rose peacefully from the ruins, and achieved the "miracle of the South Bank of the Alps". For the "Romans" with an ancient and glorious history, it is hard to conceal their desire to stand on the top of the world again. Now I should feel the same as the people of the country. However, until after World War II, ancient Rome was still unable to escape the traditional ascetic intervention of the Holy See and the influence of fascist rule for many years, coupled with the impact of the popular communist ideology at that time, it was even more eager for the liberation of human nature.

These past millenniums of glory and the chaotic and chaotic rise of modern times often arouse the hearts of literary and artistic workers in this land, and arouse a strong complex.

Filming background:

After Fellini directed 7 films and co-directed 3 films, in the process of making the new film "Mastona's Travel", the creation reached a bottleneck period, and when he was mentally exhausted and ready to give up, he had a whim. The film was shot in conjunction with the filming process, and it was also used to vent his pressure and mental suffering. In the film, the film that Gu Yiduo had been preparing for was the one that Fellini always wanted to make but failed to make. Stoner's Journey" scene, which Fellini later dropped and ultimately failed to make.

The name of the new film is eight and a half, and the name is obviously poor, plus the pressure of the Holy See brought about by the previous film, the intervention of investors and producers, and the casting interference caused by various relationships after becoming famous, plus the director himself. The pressure of the fame effect, the hope of taking it to the next level, and the inevitable narcissism and conceit after becoming famous (most celebrities have the tendency to begin to analyze themselves, such as writing books and biography, interpreting past experiences), led to the birth of this film. The film should be considered a classic in the 1960s, like the invention of the wheel in human civilization, but today, no matter the montage of the environment, light and shadow processing, and clothing effects are no longer novel, the scenery is a little boring, and the camera is deliberately made mistakes. Miscellaneous feelings and Italian-style nagging make people a little bit more intolerable.

I can like Ceylon's "Hibernation" and Laota's "Stalker", but it is difficult to like the film. Six points are given to the artistic conception of the traffic jam, the bold self-analysis and the presentation of loneliness and humanity.

When filming this film, Fellini is not like the Rome in his heart. He has a thousand-year-old imperial dream in his heart, but he is often unable to maintain it. Under the dazzling eyes, he is exhausted, and life is not a Roman dream.

When the head teacher analyzed the composition of our Chinese class representative in front of the whole class on Monday morning as usual, I thought, he must have revealed the cunning smile of a procrastinator in his heart.

  • Guido: Enough of symbolism and these escapist themes of purity and innocence.

  • Guido: I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film to help bury forever all the dead things we carry around inside. Instead, it's me who lacks the courage to bury anything at all. Now I'm utterly confused, with this tower on my hands. I wonder why things turned out this way. Where did I lose my way? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway. Why don't those spirits of yours come to my aid? You always said they had lots of messages for me. Let them get to work.

    Rossella: I've already told you: your attitude is all wrong. You're curious in a childish way. You want too many guarantees.

    Guido: Fine, but what do they say?

    Rossella: The same as always. They're very reasonable. They know you very well.

    Guido: Well then?

    Rossella: They say you're free, but you have to choose. And you don't have much time. You have to hurry.
