arrogant and self-deprecating

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.

Overall, this is a film that is personal but not selfish, arrogant and self-deprecating, masters the art of cinema, and expresses esoteric ideas in a popular way.

    Fellini's blood letter to the movie, the ultimate fan of the movie is hatred. The creative director struggles in the tug-of-war between reality, memory, dreams and imagination. The burden of his past reputation, the coercion of the producer and the playwright, the complicated personal relationship with the main actor, and the noise of the media make him busy and exhausted. . Dreamers are trapped by the dreams they create. Life is a circus that never sleeps. Time wields a whip and beats you, the director of the circus.

    Sorrentino took so many elements from Fellini (well he took so many things from the entire Italian cinema). The lines are solidly written, but only appealing to patients with first-world problems. As mentioned in the Commentary track, the existentialist writer in the movie is a real French writer in real life. After eight and a half films, he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life.
