wandering

The world is getting bigger, we are getting smaller, there is more and more prosperity, and people are more and more vulnerable to loneliness. This kind of loneliness is embodied in Fellini's "The Great Road" as a wandering, autonomous, or involuntary, homeless, no one to rely on. He deliberately chose the identity of a wandering artist and the intention of the circus, and added a strong contrast between laughter and tears, noise and loneliness, which is extremely moving.

Puffing up your chest to break free from chains, drawing tears and walking a tightrope with angel wings on your back, or sad and beautiful violin songs interrupted by brutal trumpets, in the huge circus of life, in vain, cautious, romantic is dead, and instantly riotous The endless emptiness left behind after laughing, the tears behind the smiling clown mask, this is the mental state of people in reality.

And in this absurd circus, on this too broad road, we are all marginalized, we are all alone, we are wanderers, we are loved without knowing it, want to express our love but don’t know how to speak, that’s all Confused and confused wandering around the world. The road could not be seen at a glance, and the two slender shadows intertwined for a short time. They walked together for a while, but they separated too quickly. Until the night when the sound of the waves and the crying intertwined, Zampano collapsed and fell on the beach, wailing. He finally realized that what he had lost was not only Jesomina, the only one in the world who loved him, but also a part of himself. The love between them was hit by a huge time difference, it happened too early and too late.

In the wandering life, we must discover love, cherish love, and express love. Many times, we are like "fools": when some dogs want to say something, they can only bark, and they lack the courage to say love. But still work hard, because many times, once parted, it may be a goodbye.

    The opening film of Fellini's Centennial Film Festival Changsha Station, which I didn't watch four years ago, was fortunate to make up in front of the big screen today. Those who are seated are not necessarily waiting. The front seat with the glowing screen when leaving the scene, and the second row in the back are given to enthusiastic and righteous people. The sense of sadness is not limited to movies.

    There's no romance, no romantic trips around the world, and these characters are nothing more than hallucinations of love from start to finish. They are clumsy, stupid, frivolous, and ugly. Because of the temperature of the skin-to-skin kiss, they have a sense of dependence on the people around them, similar to the dependence of animals on a cold and snowy day. In the widely sung mournful theme song, the characters in it don't really understand, they just use it to express their worries that they can't even explain. At the end, Zambano cried bitterly at the beach. He was devastated, but he couldn't figure out the reason. It was the hardship of filling his stomach, the confusion of wandering for many years, the uncertainty of the future, the coldness of losing a warm pillow, Or the pain of losing the only girl who loves you, or the regret of not taking the opportunity to get married, or the self-blame of murder? He couldn't figure it out, he just felt bitter, and if it wasn't so chaotic, it wouldn't be Zambano.
