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.
