Travel is good, it's thought-provoking, and everything else is just disappointment and boredom. Our travel is all imaginary, that's what its power is. The story Littre says can never be wrong and all of you would imagine it's on the other side of life if you just close your eyes.
Party and religion have always been two lines of the film. The protagonist, Jep, wrote a novel forty years ago. Living a great life in a mansion on the side of the Colosseum with a terrace and a large garden often inviting his artistic friends to parties flamboyant savagery full
of desire Something he didn't like and escaped from the balcony after a one-night stand with Orietta
But what was he like? One day he was walking by the orchard and said: I am Jep Gambardella I am born sensitive and I am destined to be a writer. One day he was walking along the river in the narration: When I came to Rome at the age of 26, I couldn't wait to fall into the maelstrom of luxury and luxury, and I didn't want to live only in luxury. I wanted to be the king of high society and I succeeded. I don't just want to party but to have the power to beat others.
Jep can often be seen from the ceiling of his bedroom. He and his first love, Elisa, met by the sea and kissed under the lighthouse. Later she left him. One day Elisa's husband came to Jep and said that Elisa had passed away and she had been in love with Jep and he was just a good partner for her. There were only two lines in her locked diary about him saying "he was a good companion". "Then what are you going to do next?" Jep asked him. He said "do what I've been doing and I'll always live in love for her."
The love scenes in the film often have two pieces of music and one appears to be an organ. The sound is light and mysterious. Romano is Jep's best friend. Once Jep popped up in his house, R got a glimpse of the neighbor's couple "who met in college ten days ago and have been kissing for ten days". The two looked ecstatic
The other part is the melodious voice of the violin that appeared on the night he met the stripper Limona.
Limona is the daughter of Jep's best friend. She is in her forties and still makes a living by stripping. The friend persuades Jep to find a partner for his daughter. "It's beautiful to have a family," Jep told Limona. "I know," she replied, "but I don't want to stop because it's beautiful."
That night, Jep met an old friend, Ms. Adane, on the road It's the exact opposite when the violin music plays and it seems that Jep feels something.
Maybe Jep is in love with Limona. Maybe it's just a sympathy for another sincere person. They date for a party together. The end of the party is in the garden, Princess' friend Stephano. Take Jep and Limona on a night tour with keys to beautiful buildings all over Rome. At that time Limona was wearing a silk dark green cloak. They walked through the garden facing the dome of St. Peter's Church and saw the outstanding works of art. At Galleria Spada, Limona was astonished like a child.
Then they went home together and woke up together and Jep said "No. It's good to have sex" Limona says "It's good to love each other" Jep says "I forgot what it's like to love someone" and they can all see Hai
Limona's death montage from the ceiling Romano also left Rome because he loved the wrong person and was disappointed with the whole city.
After that, the religious nun finally
came to Jep's house in the early morning, and the cranes perched on the terrace of his house, and the nun blew lightly and the cranes flew away. "Do you know why I only eat roots? Because the roots are very important" Sister Say. "Why don't you write anymore?" the nun asked Jep Jep replied "Because I was looking for something more beautiful and I didn't find it"
Later, Jep returned to the seaside with the lighthouse. In fact, he saw the beauty of the world at that time. I wonder if Elisa hadn't always loved Jep and Jep hadn't always missed her the story would have been so beautiful. Elisa's husband later found a new partner and the two were very happy. Jep truly blessed them. In fact, Elisa's husband found the real love for each other at that time.
The film ends with a musical shot of a cello lingering over the river in Rome and crossing stone arch bridges I'm thinking about the places I've walked in the movies, tempietto, piazza navona, Santa Maria della Vittoria... Facts that Jep wanted to verify later About why Elisa left him but the diary was discarded and couldn't do it and then why does it matter. And in the end he went back to the beach to start a new novel
I wonder if it's about the beauty of the world and about love that seems to be only a moment in youthful youth and if you miss it you can only fall into endless confrontation Hua's pursuit of the lost and thus cultivated a social skill. Fortunately, Jep is such a sensitive person that he did not give up his heart to meet the stability and mutual understanding that Limona brought him.
Jep can only write after proving his love with Elisa, and the futile search for beauty in the previous 40 years of vainness I don't know if he really doesn't want to recall a previous love. But is it really that painful to admit that there is no love? Just like what Cai Kangyong said, the society does not recognize "old age alone", but is there anyone who is allowed to enjoy celibacy?
So when it's not about love, there is still such a bridge in the movie:
-Stefan, woman and mother, you are 53 years old and live a broken life like us. It's all about looking after each other, being with each other and making jokes, don't you think
- because being friends requires you to make your friends feel like children from time to time
these are friendships
But the movie seems to be talking about love. Only Italians can photograph those unloving and broken lives so beautifully. And can I love Rome a little more?
