In addition to the ancient city of Rome, there are also beautiful faces of young lovers, no more~

The first time I watched it, I thought it was a movie of "the great scenery of the ancient city". I was deeply attracted by the sense of sanctity created by the ancient buildings and singing in the opening scene - it was like a call from heaven; In my imagination, I was slammed to the ground... scolded: Mother, is this the AB group shooting? How is the level and style so different? ! The first time I only saw this, I immediately changed the film. Because a few friends mentioned the shocking beauty of this film to me, I looked for it again and was surprised that it won so many awards, what?! However, after watching the whole film, I have to admit that my level of appreciation is not enough , I not only can't fall in love with it, but also make me anxious: too boring? The person I love really loves it deeply, but I really can't appreciate it. For a person who has been to Rome in his early years, in addition to the holy songs and beautiful sculptures at the beginning and end, lighting photography and lens scheduling are also good, but the vulgar and absurd plot in the middle is simply boring, like a hodgepodge: a group of people who use accents The eloquent talk of an artist; noble ideals and humble means of realization; empty souls singing every night, "indiscriminate" seems to be a sign of the upper class; a middle-aged and elderly "artist" who only started to reflect at the age of 65, has only written one book in his life. Fiction, self-proclaimed inspirational writer; a funeral that pretends to be "sad"; boring socializing and hormonal flooding; trembling but "divine" nuns; a cardinal in a Rolls-Royce ... a large patchwork of various negative elements... In addition to the ancient city of Rome, the most beautiful is the innocent face of the young lover, gone. 2 stars for technology.

    The song is bound to be low, plus the jump of consciousness, it is normal not to like it. The photography and soundtrack are beautiful to the extreme. Behind the exquisite and ruined life, the love and hatred for the “roots” of Rome gradually unfolded in the night and dawn. It is more imagery, a feeling of creation, beautiful, just like Rome.

    Sorrentino's shots are almost never lingering in front of the Eternal City, moving in and out of the crowd without touching the sensual side under disguise. Every scene is like a stage, and everyone is like a lone performer and an indifferent audience in front of each other. He used two hours to describe the gorgeous pretense, but he talked about the truth that seemed to be absent, even if it was crafty and even frivolous, but it was not pretentious. An experiential journey made for the big screen.

The Great Beauty quotes

  • Lello Cava: Italy - what are we famous for overseas? Fashion an pizza. A country of weavers and grocers.

  • Stefania: Rome is the only city in the world where Marxism has truly existed. You can't excel over others for more than a week, you're immediately brought back to mediocrity. Rome is pure collectivism.

    Jep Gambardella: Pure collectivism. Stefania, what utter nonsense! Do you know that Flaubert wanted to write a book about nothing? If he'd met you, we'd have had a great book, what a shame!
