Floating life is like a dream, too serious and happy

Turning over the old ultimatum, I found this floating life like a dream All That Jazz, another translation is Jazz Spring and Autumn, and I recalled again

that this film is a musical, roughly speaking about a film director Joe Gideon is very arrogant, but super romantic and narcissistic, in order to create Self-struggle, schizophrenia, and later because of smoking and fatigue, there may be congenital heart problems, and he died.

This film won the Palme d'Or in a certain year and several small Oscars. It is said to be a semi-autobiographical film by director Bob Josse. The song All That Jazz has also been used in Chicago, and Bob Josse is also a screenwriter in Chicago. No wonder I thought of this film when I watched NINE. It turned out to be in the same line, but All That Jazz has to say that it was also influenced by eight and a half films like this. Yes, of course, I will think of the culprit in the eight and a half.

Nietzsche, it was the first thing that came to mind when rewatching this film. The spirit of this film is Nietzsche's what, and death reminds me of Hemingway, the protagonist Joe is super divided, while fearing death, but not caring about death's pleasure-seeking. The funny thing is that the direct reason for his death in the end was that he could not accept the criticism of film critics, who said that his films were meant to entertain people, and that he had a heart attack and later died.

Although there is a lot of pleasant jazz and dancing throughout the film, the overall feeling is still very depressing. Death, how can you not be suppressed? This kind of spiritual temperament does not say praise or criticism, and it always feels unhealthy. Like Mozart and Fassbender, it seems that the works of genius should be exchanged with life. What I want to say is: Sometimes, even if you do something that will save your life and sacrifice your life, you may not get a work that will last forever.

    One of my favorite tunes is "Bye Bye Love" and the synopsis of "Jazz Spring and Autumn" is probably rather bizarre, but it feels like it was written by pure fans: "Fosse is the two musicals respectively. The screenwriter and director of the film version, his other famous work is this "Jazz Spring and Autumn". (In fact, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find many shadows of "Jazz Spring and Autumn" from the choreography of "Chicago", and "Chicago" The first song straight to the point is 'All That Jazz'.)" PS: I don't have much self-understanding. . .

    The accidental death of a self-abandoned, narcissistic director, introspective, self-deprecating, is it a prophecy? The editing is so beautiful, singing and dancing are connected in love, virtual and real, entangled and entangled, fantasy and imagination, indistinguishable, the lecture will be held on Sunday. PS: The movie that I watched after "The City That Never Sleeps" has been smoking.

All That Jazz quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Joe Gideon: Don't bullshit a bullshitter.

  • Davis Newman: There's a lady in Chicago, man, wrote a book - Dr Kübler-Ross, with a dash. This chick, man, without the benefit of dying herself, has broken down the process of dying into five stages: anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Sounds like a Jewish law firm. 'Good morning, Anger denial bargaining depression acceptance!'.
