The last time I saw it was in 2013, I thought it was very ordinary, only three stars, mainly compared with midnight Paris, the story was bland, and I felt that the special style of Rome was not captured.
It's 2018, and it's all over again.
Look again, three stars before, five stars this time. Four stories put together seem unrelated, but the hotel thief finally says: "I'm a thief, but who doesn't steal when he has a chance?" Whether it's a newlywed saint and a cowardly husband, or a student Boyfriend faces Wenqing actress, an honest person who suddenly became famous, or a funeral home owner who only dares to sing in the bathroom, all the rules are just because of the cost of the rules. Saintess wants to taste movie stars, otherwise she is afraid that she will regret it for life. The cowardly husband wants to find prostitutes to learn some tricks to conquer Saintess's wife because his newlywed wife is not a virgin and he is a virgin. The architect students kept telling themselves countless excuses, how literary and artistic the actress is, and how well she understands herself, so she is worthy of love for a lifetime. Unusually, the owner of the funeral home ignored the opposition of his family and took the stage to wash and sing from beginning to end. Honest people gradually couldn't stand female fans, and after losing fame and fortune, they began to miss every privilege madly.
But the director's most powerful hand is not forgetting to arrange Alec Baldwin, a character who is almost a male student's future self, to preach, and tell his younger self, when you get older, you know that these passions are all empty, and then blind. Did not see each other's shortcomings. "It's not wisdom that grows over time, it's exhaustion," he said.
But the honest driver said that although it was all empty in the end, there was no money, there was no difference between success and failure. But being famous is better than being unknown, and stealing is better than following the rules all your life.
The whole movie is exquisite and profound, and I just want a standing ovation after watching it. Then I said to myself back then that I was really blind.
