"Armakod": A Messy Memories of Youth

The film was directed by Federico Fellini, one of the world's most famous "Holy Trinity" films of modern art. It is said to be semi-autobiographical and won the 47th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Let's not mention Fellini's brilliant achievements for the time being, but only talk about this film that shows the story of young people's growth. The narrative is not only disorganized, but also the characters are complex. One time it was a group of children making trouble in the classroom, one time it was the teacher's arrogant teaching process, one time it was the boring quarrel of parents in a big family, one time it was various political events and topics at the time, one time it was The uncle of Shangshu, sometimes it is all kinds of big fat ass women, sometimes it is a proud theater owner and a girl who spreads rumors, and sometimes it is lewd by the busty boss lady... The grandfather, the mad uncle, the ignorant young people, a group of small town people who enjoy themselves.

In such a large number of tedious cases, it is difficult for people to see why. The director seems to have a lot to express, and it seems that he is just taking stock of young memories. Let's say it's a youth movie, the only bridge segment is difficult to support the whole storyline. Let's say there is no protagonist, and it seems that everyone is the protagonist, and they will act for a long time at any time. Let's call it a political movie, and it doesn't have so many deep and cruel black scenes. It is said that there is no theme, and the themes inside are too numerous to mention. The final definition of the film is a microcosm of a chaotic Italian period. As for which section the audience likes, that is, radishes and vegetables have their own love. For people like me who don't know much about the historical environment in Italy, it's like a foreigner watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and they don't know which stage to lock in. As to whether the film is still rated so highly, whether it is well shot or something else, or whether it was considered the best to make such a chaotic film in the 1970s, it is unknown. I will not pretend to understand here, but I will analyze more for you.
