One brush (22/2/4)

Fellini's talent is astonishing, as he describes some of Marcello's moments of life, full of raucous feasts, magically bizarre events and desperate emptiness. Too free and not deliberate, suffering is a joke; loneliness is for fun; the gunshots of suicide are silent; human beings are like perpetual motion machines producing fresh flesh, singing and dancing drain the soul and release endless emptiness. I wonder, can I really resist the allure of a "high society" lifestyle, luxury, abundance, happiness, it's so comforting, and Fellini asks everyone that question at the end of the film.

How does he manage to be loosely structured without being boring or even conventional and complex and profound? (Suddenly thinking of "The Four Seas" that I was forced to watch recently, and now someone has said that he has another meaning for the stuttering director) 1. Each paragraph is amazing, with a huge amount of information and entertainment, with a good vision Enjoy; 2. In the same scene, the expression levels are rich and neat, such as: metaphors and fables of the clown's performance fragment + the father and the dancer (representing the surrounding environment or the entire Roman world) unrestrained carnival + Marcello also brings A little confusion of expectations; 3. Use front and back metaphors to connect loose stories, creating a feeling of coincidence and destiny mixed together, as if life itself. Such as: nightclub performances and carnival endings, recognizing angels and losing angels
