A work that shows the strength of Lao Fei

When American film critic Roger Ebert commented on some of the most powerful directors in the world at that time, he said that Lao Fei was born to make movies.

Ingmar Bergman is characterized by the height of thought and the depth of soul exploration;

Hitchcock's films are winding paths, full of craftsmanship;

Luis Buñuel constructs a sarcasm of human nature through his manipulation of fantasy and deformity.

Lao Fei, he is like playing a movie, just like breathing out through his nostrils, he can arrange the most complicated scenes clearly, cleanly and lightly. He is Willie Mays of the movie industry (one of the legendary superstars of Meibang).

This and the Roman style painting can be used as a companion piece, and the difference between the prose film and the semi-biographical film can be seen.

Rome is more scattered and grander, like a documentary. Several characters in this film are like portraits of neighbors. There is no dramatic conflict, but it is more intriguing.

I saw Rome first, and the senses were too shocking, so I was preconceived.

    Fellini's "Small Town Style Painting", compared to Rome's thick and solemn, the violent emotions on the sea like a blue thunderbolt without a violent wind are just the gentle romance of the fluttering catkins. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are another spring, and the changing of the four seasons weaves memories for a little while. The whole viewing process was in a state of obsession, joy and sorrow flowed naturally. Seeing Grantiska's gaze again and again, the answer to "how do you remember me" emerged—with a smile, but also silent, a sense of calm and relief that was lost but not sad. Effortless but with a magical brush everywhere, the director's skills have been transformed into a realm, and he is easy to come by. My favorite two scenes in the fog, my grandfather asked me where I was, like looking back in his old age and asking himself, "Where is my home?" I love Fellini. My favorite Fellini.

    The first film I watched by Fellini was "La Dolce Vita". It was a wonderful scene scheduling, and it expressed the life group drama very richly, but the story itself was not something I could subjectively like. The same is true for this film. Unlike the implicit and hurtful consciousness of Asian directors when shooting themes such as childhood, growth, and history, Fellini's indulgence, unrestrainedness and freedom really enjoy the complex life of human beings from the bottom of his heart, but it is difficult to feel it. his emotions.
