Carnival to the last moment

Everyone's life begins with noise, then ends in peace, once experienced dazzling luxury and joy, and in the end, it's just dust to dust.

Joe is such a musical director who was unrestrained when he was young. He smoked, drank, was passionate and romantic, owed a lot of romantic debts, and his health was getting worse and worse (of course, one and a half of the reasons were the pressure of hard work), and finally he was no longer ill. When he was dying, he began to regret the beginning on the bed. Joe's actor Roy Scheider looks very similar to director Bob Fosse, so people infer that "Jazz Spring and Autumn" is Bob Fosse's semi-self-guided film, and most of it also implies his apology and repentance.

It is no exaggeration to say that Bob Fosse has changed the performance of traditional Hollywood musicals. Indeed, in his works, the design of many scenes and the use of props are considered advanced art of interest consciousness today; art in singing and dancing is not only It is for aesthetics, and it also plays the role of associating hints and telling the underlying text.

For example, the most acclaimed stage surgery scene often mentioned by Mr. Wen: the dancers wore blood vessel costumes, showing their teeth and claws; the dew lovers who could not tell the difference in appearance, wearing the same Broadway swan dance dress revolved around the hospital bed; the curtain opened A hearse slowly carried Joe's wives and children to say goodbye. They had previously sung the reluctant lyrics with criticism and accusations; the terrifying medical staff were beating tambourines and playing boards, as if from the underworld. Hi kid...it's amazing how Bob Fosse came up with these wild ideas.

And only a romantic genius can come up with a fragrant death. This part is interspersed in the gap between the normal time narrative. Through Joe's chat with the woman in white who accompanies him, he looks back on his entire life, sees through worldly concerns and faces death, and repeatedly deceives himself that the time has not come. He said with difficulty, "I don't wanna die.", and quickly drove towards the embrace of death after letting go.

There are also often comparisons between this work and Fellini's "Eight and One Half". In the entire list of the two, these two films are indeed very detached and different from others, but they are also both collections. Imagination in Dacheng's carnival.

I've been thinking, is Joe's last spiritual performance the same vision that Bob Fosse himself hoped to have once again? He once wanted to be an actor, but he started choreography by accident and finally succeeded as a director. At the end, what was he talking about? "Jazz Spring and Autumn" was filmed in 1979, and Bob Fosse died of a heart attack in 1987 at the age of sixty, his wife, daughter and girlfriend scattered his ashes into the Atlantic Ocean.

    While Bob Fosse was directing and choreographing the Broadway musical "Chicago," his third film, "Lennie's Story," was in post-production, under double pressure, overwhelmed by alcohol, cigarettes, and all kinds of drugs. He, Foss, had a near-death experience after suffering a heart attack. This experience was later put on the screen by him. Although this semi-autobiographical film has a strong narcissistic tendency, it is relatively objective and does not overly whitewash Fox's own derailment. Apart from myself, most of the characters in the film come from real life, but the connection with reality did not make "Jazz Spring and Autumn" go to the quagmire of traditional biopics, but instead created a formalistic carnival, fast cross-editing The intertwining of film, stage, reality, and dreams, the women with big breasts and buttocks in Dead Space, the burlesque performances and the giggling audience seem to point to Fellini's "Eight and a Half", but these are more like blessings. "Amakod" by St. John's - Remembrance and Retrospect on the Dying. Eight years after the film was released, the content of "Jazz Spring and Autumn" has become a reality like a prophecy, which is very sad.

    The humility and pride of the artist. The storytelling is fantastic, layer by layer, like an adventure. I am very impressed with the two dances. I will still remember many years later. The dance full of sexual hints shocked me, but it also broke through the second line of Ren and Du, and at the end, Kidon was at the extreme. The carnival ended for his life, the loneliness in the hustle and bustle was rendered very strong, and tears fell like rain.
