1. Director Federico Fellini, this film won the Palme d'Or at the 13th Cannes Film Festival and is one of the "betrayal trilogy". 2. With several projections of Fellini's own life. The title is actually a witty trope of life and death, and with a rare grim poignancy, Fellini explains "a complex delirium" hidden in the so-called "economic miracle" of Italy in the early 1960s. The film centers on the chaotic life of Marceno, a journalist who is empty and morally depraved, and reveals the decadence and spiritual emptiness of the upper-class bourgeoisie. It is also a turning point in Fellini's film art. In terms of expression, he broke through the conventional narrative pattern and pursued the modernity of art, and adopted an anti-plot and anti-drama "block" structure. 3. Symbolic passage: Marcello flirts with bikini girls from a helicopter with a bottle of Jesus hanging over it, and the lavish corruption of Rome dusts the Christian spirit. Dante travels through hell-like structures, from nightclub feasts, castle indulgences to striptease at beach houses, human-riding and transvestite shenanigans, men and women who are either unhappy or playful, and the camera crew at the apparition of the Virgin Mary. Light, build-up, and the fanatical religious atmosphere dominates thousands of believers who follow blindly directed girls and run in disorder, referring to the big tree as the Virgin, obviously with the metaphor of the collapse of the rational world, the numb soul ends with the big monster fish picked up by the beach Mapping the disaster of the stranded souls of this group of people.
