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.

    There is no ancient person before, and I believe there will be no future comers. The use of film language is the pinnacle, and the real storytelling with images

    I bought a DVD 10 years ago, but I haven't watched it all the time. Today I looked it up from the old stuff and watched it. Can you imagine that I, a director who shoots dreams, have never seen the famous eight and a half films? ? ? It seems to be the director's self-doubt and self-pity. However, the details in many dreams are quite real and touching, and penetrate into the heart. . . The artist's heart wants to fly high but is dragged back to the ground, wants to love but doesn't know how to love, wants to be free but is entangled with what he is, wants to be free but still lives, travels through memory, fantasy, dream and reality , and finally the rocket launch pad became a circus. After giving up, he reconciled with everything.
