In the same way, Amakord was not filmed in his hometown of Minie, and he never went to his hometown of Minie to shoot a scene in his life. The people and things in the film seem to be familiar but may not happen. The so-called memories are also Fellini in Perceptual reconstructions are carried out in its memory. For example, the women's huge breasts and buttocks in the film, and their exaggerated body proportions, are only because of their childhood fear of sexual relations and anxiety about mysterious sex, and this is only a unique perceptual knowledge in their youth. Others like the fog that always accompanies the Nazis, the white cow in the fog, the peacock after the snow, the overly plump tobacco shop proprietress, the coquettish girl... etc. are all specific emotions for the hometown in that specific era.
This way of exploring the deep reality of the world through the construction of the second reality shows that its new realism concept is becoming more and more mature, and the world through perceptual knowledge is infatuated or even crazy, but ironically, only through fiction can metaphors be reproduced. reality and bring the audience to the deepest reality. Therefore, through the movie, the audience can really feel Fellini's real memories of his hometown, which is psychedelic but realistic.
