On the way to pursue a career of love, will everyone encounter eight and a half...

This is undoubtedly Fellini's most honest film about knowing oneself, truly understanding what art is, and what art makes it nihilistic or hypocritical.

The person who knows you best is the person closest to you, and the person who doesn’t know you the least is also the person closest to you. The contradiction here may lie in the word “love”.

It is better to say that a director is troubled by indistinguishable dreams and hallucinations from reality because of his exhaustion of inspiration. It is better to say that the entanglement between his dreams, hallucinations and reality shows his true inner entanglement, as well as the source or portrayal of his fear, which is exactly the same. An "encounter" that allows a director to find the freedom he should pursue - the freedom to be true and honest about life and art.

"The real artist is not asking for something from people, or trying to cover up something to prove something, the real art is to forget one's own identity, don't want anything, eliminate the mistakes that shouldn't be made, and seek the bright path that is persistent in the pursuit of art. Road. That is an artist's road to freedom.

#title8 and a half, is it just expressing—it must be halfway through, and when you want to give up, you will understand what the freedom of an artist is.

    #FilmArchive# Fellini said: "It's hard to draw the line in 'Eight and a Half': which part is the beginning or the end of my personal events, from which point I am shaping the image (including me I only knew that my purpose was to recount the experience of a director who was in turmoil. Obviously, the most sincere and unscrupulous confession is involved when approaching such a subject."

    This movie made me seriously doubt my fandom, I don't deserve to be a fan, I fell asleep watching it, I'm guilty, I've fallen asleep more than once, and I'm guilty. If you don't give this movie one star, you won't be able to pass your own psychological test, because if you give it a good score, there will be a dark suspicion that "I can't be the only one who suffers from this crime". I am a mentally healthy and bright person, I can't do that. , first give a star as a tribute!

  • Guido: A crisis of inspiration? What if it's not just temporary, my dear friend? What if it's the final downfall of a big fat no-talent imposter?

  • Writer: Forgive me, but your naïveté is a serious failing.
