arrogant and self-deprecating
Emmitt 2022-04-21 09:02:06
Because the setting of the scene and the style of the performance are constantly switching between expressiveness and narration, while watching the loose story on the screen, the director is also advocated by the director to think about the relationship between the film and himself in the real world, that is, let the audience I feel that "the director gathered a group of people and made a big movie about how arrogant he is by letting his character make a movie." This is a paradox in itself, which appeared in the eight and a half films. In an instant on the screen, the meaning of the eight and a half parts fell into a contradiction of immediateness (arrogantly saying that he was arrogant), so, we must add a half, and we must also let the role of the clown appear, because the screenwriter has this The rational tone of a character can't refute the fact that 'eight and a half have become eight and a half', but in the end the director sincerely committed suicide, the sincere satire of the movie (everyone turns around), and feels that the director is sincere about the appearance of eight and a half of repentance.

Guido: Enough of symbolism and these escapist themes of purity and innocence.

Guido: I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film to help bury forever all the dead things we carry around inside. Instead, it's me who lacks the courage to bury anything at all. Now I'm utterly confused, with this tower on my hands. I wonder why things turned out this way. Where did I lose my way? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway. Why don't those spirits of yours come to my aid? You always said they had lots of messages for me. Let them get to work.
Rossella: I've already told you: your attitude is all wrong. You're curious in a childish way. You want too many guarantees.
Guido: Fine, but what do they say?
Rossella: The same as always. They're very reasonable. They know you very well.
Guido: Well then?
Rossella: They say you're free, but you have to choose. And you don't have much time. You have to hurry.
