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

    Fellini cannot sum it up in words.

    The affection behind the carnival, and the loneliness after the glitz. Conversations contain insights into life, listen to thunder in the silent place, and conceive true knowledge in the hustle and bustle. (Morandi's painting, recording of natural sounds,) Fellini's noise is moving, in every silent midnight, will Fellini also light a cigarette and feel sad?

The Sweet Life quotes

  • Marcello Rubini: [to Emma] A man who agrees to live like this is a finished man, he's nothing but a worm! I don't believe in your aggressive, sticky, maternal love! I don't want it, I have no use for it! This isn't love, it's brutalization!

  • Steiner: We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should love each other outside of time... detached.
