That's the magic of the movie!

There is a kind of ramble movie that is very charming, such as this year's Sears Maria, or Woody Allen's movie, or Hong Sang-soo's movie, and a purely artistic movie, such as this beautiful city, Or most of Wong Kar-wai's films, where every frame is a work of art, there is strong music, and the storyline is basically unimportant, and under someone's emotions, the film progresses freely and slowly. I still remember the Twins that year, or last year in Marienbad, that was the case. With the emotion, it unfolds little by little, allowing you to sink into it. That's the beauty of this type of film.
After watching this movie, I didn't see any stories or characters, what I saw was a kind of emotion, a kind of emptiness behind the rich life of drunken life and death, and the helplessness and hesitation of a writer, he had nowhere to rest, but The whole movie is not so boring at all, like Hou Hsiao-hsien, Angelopoulos or Antonioni with long takes, I can't watch their movies, because they are too boring, including Tarkovsky's movies, I can't either. Understand, even from the picture, I can't see any mystery.
When it comes to these film masters, I still like the ones that are more moderate and peaceful, and can let me in, such as Bergman's, most of them can feel, or Fellini's, too, and the modern Paul Soren Dino, too. Although I don't know much about it, at least I have a feeling that can make you feel something touches you in a vague way, which makes you suddenly brighten your eyes and suddenly feel confused in your daily life.
This is enough.
This is the real art of film. It seems to be talking about life. There is no whimsy of Hollywood blockbusters, no grand scenes, and no reality show. In the editing, in the so-called arrangement of the shots, even in the ordinary story, I see the transcendence of art, I see a perfect work of art, like a pot full of pots and pans. In the kitchen, I suddenly found a delicate little sculpture. The feeling is beyond words, but life has changed.
That's the magic of movies.

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.
