To be honest, I watched it with my boyfriend, and he hardly understood it.
I'm not mocking him, and I don't actually understand it either.
In a plot that is used to being very tight, such a plot can be confusing and overwhelming.
You don't quite understand what this is about? In a small town called Rimini on the coast of Adriatic in Italy, who is the protagonist? Tida (a minor boy), his mother Miranda? Rerio? Or 52-year-old courtesan Grantis? Seems like both.
Such a small plot design makes people feel confused, but also makes people feel some truths of life, and sometimes it may really be a chicken feather. I don't know what the point is, but I feel that everything is.
As for the classic scene that everyone says is the madman's uncle sitting on the top of the tree, shouting: I need a woman.
Real life, real needs. Classics are not classics, and they are not important. The important thing is that these things may happen around and happen everywhere.
As for the director Fellini, this is the first work I've seen him, and I'll have a better understanding after watching a few more.
