Seeking roots in the desert

In a country with a long cultural history, in a country where the ancients have created almost insurmountable achievements, it is very sad to be a cultural person. They may at a certain moment create their own works with a flash of inspiration, only to find that the inspiration is difficult to flash again. The huge cultural heritage not only provides them with sufficient nutrients, but also kills them in it, which is like fertilizing the flowers and trees too much, which will also cause the flowers and trees to wither. So the eyes are full of glitz and falsehood, and the essence is a desert without grass. On the contrary, the old nun's sentence of rooting pointed out the direction for people. It seems that rooting seems to be a way out for literate people all over the world, and it is the only way out.
This movie is very beautiful, but it was hard to watch when I first started watching it. Only when I watch it slowly will I understand its meaning.

The Great Beauty quotes

  • Jep Gambardella: To this question, as kids, my friends always gave the same answer: "Pussy". Whereas I answered "The smell of old people's houses". The question was "What do you really like the most in life?" I was destined for sensibility. I was destined to become a writer. I was destined to become Jep Gambardella.

  • Jep Gambardella: Madame Ardant!

    Fanny Ardant: [after a long pause] Bonne nuit.
