Fellini once said, "The record a man can make is always and only his own record." "Amakode" is not only regarded as the representative work of his personal realistic grammar, but also regarded as one of his most important autobiographical works. On the one hand, the film leads the audience into Fellini's childhood life and sees his sincere, sincere, humorous emotional source. In the depiction of the times, it also escapes the purely objective, historical observation-style examination and inspection, and starts from the most fundamental details of life, and truly reproduces the appearance of fascism in Italy before and after the Second World War.
Interestingly, in "Amakde", we can also clearly see Fellini's thinking and fascination with the female image, the trinity of the Virgin, the martyr, and the slut, and the mother and the prostitute form an inner and outer relationship. In contrast, the plump and huge female bodies that appear repeatedly in Fellini's works are not only the source of motherhood for nurturing children, but also the beginning of youth's sexual enlightenment.
