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

    In fact, the sweet life is not beautiful at all. From the beginning to the end, there is a rotten and hypocritical breath that makes people look uncomfortable. The protagonist has been in a state of no self-consciousness, allowing the habits of the circle to spread throughout the body. In the end, the illness became terminally ill and there was no cure. The image of Christ at the beginning and the end is the antithesis of the strange fish, and the submerged cry is actually the same. Looking back, in contrast, the beautiful city is completely another story in the same city. 2020.11.07 @资料馆with LT No matter from which point of view, it is still the top ten level of personal film history

    8.3 The hustle and bustle of carnivals, circuses, and parties, the quiet moments left after the feast flow are sad and empty. With the sweetness of life, everything has collapsed, rotted, and fallen. Marcello's nostalgia and no longer romance. .

The Sweet Life quotes

  • Travestito: By 1965 there'll be total depravity. How squalid everything will be.

  • 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!
