Childhood resurrected by memory

It's easy to like Fellini, especially his creative attitude beyond realism.
The film starts with a ceremony to bid farewell to winter, followed by the appearance of various characters. There is no coherence in the plot, because originally, this is a serialized thing from memory.
What I remember most is Uncle Crazy, standing above the tall tree, repeating simply: I need a woman.
There are also the irritable father and the low-key mother and the deep love between them, those depths composed of time, maybe we will never get it in the future world.
All the things that represent our hometown are disappearing, and we are rushing forward under the coercion of time, but the road ahead is uncertain.

    20.07.2020 Three Views. The change in perception and understanding of this film reflects the process of integrating into European life and the life of Europeans in the past ten years. The father of the people around him grew up in the small town of Amakord. The behaviors, values ​​and ideals of the people in the play have gradually become daily routines in life. The dialogue in the play has gradually become a daily conversation. This is the process. Not to mention understanding Fellini. Fellini is just a part of this whole life. The image he presents is the world in his mind back then. This world, excluding the brief time factor, is becoming my world. [12.08.2016 Re-view: Take a good look XD]

    Fellini's director is really utilitarian, the cuts and the picture are very smooth. There is a warm feeling to the celebration on the streets of the folks, but it's not very clear what the theme of this piece is...
