Amarcord

The life of people in a small town, a group of residents who gathered in the square to cheer on a bonfire for the arrival of the new year, a group of small town residents who love their country, an Italian town story in the style of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is this movie of all.
There are many details in the movie that are so beautiful, such as all kinds of tidbits, snow, and rain floating in the sky; such as peacocks flying and screaming freely; such as masturbation-style car shocks; The people in the town are so cute, even the prostitutes are so cute.
I especially like the two scenes at the beginning and the end, how beautiful the scene is!
But I couldn't get into the movie, and my mind often jumped away from the story. Maybe it's because of cultural identity, but it doesn't affect my love for the movie.

    You said, you have two childhood skills, one is Bergman's "Wild Strawberry" and the other is Fellini's "I Remember Back then".

    1975 Oscar for best foreign language film. Fellini's memories of his youthful hometown, vital daily details, group portraits of small towns fused with comic-style memories, mosaic pictures composed of fragments, pure and sublime hazy poems. Dust flutters, the four seasons cycle, funeral marriages, leaving home. Children stubbornly urinate and have fun, enlightenment of breasts and fat buttocks, giant wheel looking forward to organ players, peacocks open the snow maze, dancing in the fog to see white cows, uncles go up to the tree and I watch the movie (9.5/10)
