I dare not say that I understood Fellini's story, but I just write down some of my own interpretation and noticed details here. I think many comments have not been interpreted in detail, and some details have not been explained clearly. It is precisely these details that reflect Fellini's own preferences and ideas that I want to convey. I like to call this kind of private goods carried by the director. Maybe it’s because everyone is looking at a very unconcerned translated version. When watching movies, one cannot bear the deletion, and the other is distortion. All omissions and random translations are disrespect to the director. Many foreign films are full of irresponsible translations and omissions of modifiers. Turning over or even making some pretty sentences too showy, the movie that the audience sees is not the director's movie, but the obscenity of these "re-creators". I don’t understand Italian either. I watched the whole movie intermittently for 7 or 8 hours with Chinese and English subtitles. The main reference for understanding is English, and English is always closer to Italian. Enter the topic below:
The movie is divided into several short stories: 1. Ascension to the sky with the idol hanging by a helicopter (Ascension of the idol); 2. Cha Cha Cha Bar to track the prince's affair (stalking); 3. Marce hooks up with Girl M and takes a street girl home, and Lavish in the women's house in the station street (meeting girl M for the first time); 4. Marce found Emma committed suicide when he returned home, and sent her to the hospital for medical treatment (Emma suicide); 5. Lady S married, and Marce took her to Rome for fun, Finally, he was blown by S’s husband (American actress S); 6. Encountered Steiner’s old friend and played the piano in the church (church playing the piano); 7. The miracle of the sacred tree came, and the media was crazy (the miracle came); 8. In Stan Na family gathering (friendship gathering); 9. Writing in an unknown restaurant, and met a little girl (first encounter with an angel); 10. Goodbye father, went to Cha Cha Cha bar, and went to a girl’s house, and finally met Father separates (goodbye father); 11. I met Girl N by chance, followed her to a party and went on a castle adventure (Castle adventure); 12. I had a fight with Emma, reconciled and had a shot ( Divide and recombine); 13. Steiner killed his own child and committed suicide (an old friend died); 14. A completely crazy night and wandering on the beach at dawn (complete depravity).
The whole story reveals the sluggishness, morality, lack of spiritual emptiness under the rich and vain life of the masses in Rome, and the various behaviors of the people in it are very bold and fanatical, almost to the point of a little crazy line. At first glance, I feel that this kind of heroic life and heroic style of life is full of vitality and draws people closer. Rome, a magical city, is so tempting to penetrate the fallen land everywhere. In the section of Ascension of the Deity, the deity was hoisted by a helicopter. There are a lot of interpretations on the meaning of the deity. The helicopter passes through a large area of land that is still under development, which shows that Rome during this period is expanding rapidly, and more and more people are stationed there. Rome. The girl in the sunbathing girl flirted with Marche in whispers and sign language. Marche was obviously very good at this kind of cross-shore communication and blew a few kisses. Then God descended on the city, and the whole city was shrouded in God’s blessing. As soon as the camera turned to Cha Cha Cha, the bar was stalked and followed. The bar’s performance was full of absurd and funny atmosphere, and Ma Che caught up in the chaos.
Girl M, Mace’s younger brother, Paparazzo, also appeared. In fact, I personally think that paparazzo is not the name of this younger brother, but a pronoun. Paparazzo is also English for paparazzi. This low-level figure does not seem to be worthy of having a name.
Girl M is very beautiful. She took the initiative to drive a street girl home. It is clear that she and the prostitute seem to have a kind of mutual understanding and mutual understanding. It is worth mentioning that the prostitutes in the film are so rich that they use a lot of terminology. These different words all mean prostitutes and prostitutes. I think Fellini intends to classify most women as prostitutes. The poor are only prostitutes, and the rich are just prostitutes. Director Kubrick loves Fellini's films. , In his "Broad Eyes Caution" also conveyed similar ideas. In the basement of Zhanjie Women’s Water, M and Marcher sent a message, which actually revealed that the two of them were indifferent to the human rights of the street women. The street women returned to their normal lives when they returned home from get off work, but they still have to contribute. Give your own living space to others to do meticulous things. The street girl outside the house was discussing with a person who should be a pimp whether to swindle M and Marce, but the street girl refused. It seems that the bottom layer has a more moral sense in this respect, and the pimp I have become accustomed to accepting and profiting from the humiliation from the upper echelons.
Emma committed suicide and was sent to hospital by Marche. During the process, Marche scolded her crazy woman again, and was dissatisfied with her making trouble. He might think Emma was a prostitute, and when he was sent to the hospital, he still read M and called her, but she just slept and ignored Marche. . To the upper-class prostitutes, Mace is nothing more than a fun accessory. The camera turned to the story of the American actress S. During the pick-up process, people kept mentioning the Swedish face of the actress who was seductive and criminal, but S was an American actress. Coming to S’s house, S’s husband did not pay attention to her. It was in contrast to Emma’s phone call to Marce to ask about the long and short questions, for fear that he would be troubled. Not as energetic as S, the American actress, but at the top of the tower, S asked Marche where Giottos Campanile is. Marche said he was not in Rome in Florence (the Chinese translation of this paragraph was seriously wrong, and S and Marche exchanged words clearly. In vain English), the whole process reflects that the Swedish girl was influenced by the United States and turned into an orangutan who likes to jump up and down but lacks brains. Probably the stereotype of the old beauty at the time was like this. S gave Ma Che a little bit on the roof, and the next prom Ma Che was in love with the wild horse, licking the dog frantically, and the speech was romantic but also extremely absurd. The entire prom scene showed joy.
Only S’s husband was painting a portrait in a dull manner. A servant in the middle took S off his high heels and picked it up. Later, S’s husband told S that a weird Roman man sent your shoes back. I think this is a weird Roman dressing attendant. It actually represents this distorted Rome. This city has a life subjective initiative and magical power. It will modify and assimilate the behavior of some people. Rome has always cultivated believers in this way.
Later, Marce took S to wander the street. In fact, S never looked at Marce and almost kissed S at the Fontana di Trevi. It suddenly dawned. Then Maqie took S back to her house angrily, and was beaten up by her husband.
When I came to the church playing piano chapter, at the beginning, the photographer asked Marche how to shoot next. Marche said to let the horse stand on the table, and the woman lay on the ground to take a picture. It can be seen that the media creation is crude and likes to engage in absurd gimmicks. Of course Later, there was a greater mockery of the media. Then Marche walked into the church as if he was inspired by God, and met his former friend Steiner. Steiner’s existence was indeed hopeful for Marche, and the confused Marcher was indeed avoided because of the guidance of Steiner’s hope. At the beginning, it was like the fall of the abyss. Steiner was a writer with culture, status and family heritage. He admired Marche, and he also hoped to lead him to the right path. He hoped that he would become an upright literary author, not just a media player. puppet. But a dialogue in the church is very playful, reflecting Fellini's ridicule of the sect.
At a small climax in the film, a miracle came. It is said that two little girls saw the Virgin Mary near a tree of miracles, attracting a large number of media to visit, and there were also many people who prayed to God and wanted to heal the disease. The government detained several summoning gods for some reason. The prodigy, the scene was quickly built into a studio, and one can't help but wonder whether the news that the media showed to the public was shot in such a "studio"? Is the content of the report that readers read true? Or readers are actually just a group arbitrarily manipulated by the media. Readers can only know what the media wants readers to know. Paparazzi and several paparazzi performed in "Miraculous Coming" and used material money to lure the praying crowds to pose for photos. The show officially started at night. In an interview, the reporter gave the interviewer a reading, and even the wrong content was written during the reading. It can be said that it was very unconcerned. Such images were broadcast to insult the public's IQ. The child prodigy was finally released, and the dialogue with God began, and the process was full of laughter and laughter.
Fellini’s attack on the media is very fierce. Woody Allen also ridiculed the media in his "Deconstructing Love Madness". abnormal. Lao Mei has been condemning many bad behaviors of the media since the 1940s. The suspicion of the media in the West has always existed. The media has always exaggerated, exaggerated, and even taken out of context. Good things can be interpreted from bad angles, misleading many readers. Just like the advent of the domestic self-media era, the official account has one headline party, one soft article, one slogan, creating blind worship, and then harvesting worship, and it is also known as payment for knowledge. In fact, there is no dry goods in its articles. It’s not that they don’t speak the truth. Sometimes they only speak half the truth, create panic, draw the brains to follow in their footsteps and violently denounce their hostile targets. They have never read Kant one by one, and they don’t have a deep understanding of morality, but they are not embarrassed. Accuse others of wickedness. The scary thing is that not only a large number of middle-aged people blindly believe it, but it is widely circulated, and even young people are spiritually corrupted. I think the consumerism culture that has prevailed in recent years is one of the manifestations. Back to the topic, the child of God was violently killed on the spot. In the morning of the next day, only some people prayed for the dead. It was very ironic. God rescued the wounded but some people died violently under God’s eyes. The media was powerful, but most of them stood on the sidelines, even with news value. Profit-making.
At the friendship gathering, Marche really did a spiritual cleansing. The guests here are all thoughtful artists, so they are not as sensual as other social events. Fellini carried some personal possessions that he liked Morandi's paintings. Steiner has repeatedly persuaded Marche to do serious literature. In the sound of the waves and the voices of birds played back on the tape at the party, Mace finally found a trace of peace. The communication between Steiner and his children in the middle section shows that he loves his children very much, and often gets literary inspiration from their speeches. In the end, a conversation between Steiner and Marche vaguely revealed that Steiner entered the alley of thoughts and was about to collapse.
In a restaurant, Marche saw the incarnation of an angel for the first time, and he said it himself. Ma Che will come here, probably because he does have a real desire to engage in literature, but he has been questioned by Emma, and it is difficult to calm down and create.
Seeing his father again, Ma Qi ignited more hope. When he was young, his father was often away from home, and his mother often washed her face with tears. Ma Che has always wanted to get along with his father seriously, to have the harmony that has been missing for many years, and to feel the love of his father. They went to the Cha Cha Cha Bar again, which was still full of distinctive clown performances. Dad also hooked up a dancing girl and said that he was playing with his legs. It can be seen from Marche's father's pick-up behavior that he is good at playing, and he must have left the family for a lot of exercise over the years. In fact, Ma Che was very reluctant to go home with his father and the dancing girl, but his father ignored him at all. After being ill, his father left silently. Marche wanted to regain the warmth of the family, at least the family could give him hope in life, but he failed.
Next, we entered the castle for an adventure. Lady N brought Marche to a meeting in the castle. This kind of gathering was the beginning of Marche's fall. In the future, Marche's life will be full of this kind of rotten gathering. The meeting place is in a castle far from the city, and the upper class people like to have some rotten gatherings in the quiet courtyard mansion on the outskirts of the city, and the same is true in "Open Eyes". On the way there and in the castle, there are repeated episodes of men disgusting dogs, but women love dogs, men seek pleasure from women, and women hope to have fun in dogs. Marche saw M at the castle. M introduced the nobles to the new participant and took him to the castle. Antique art oil paintings were everywhere. In the next room-to-chat game, M confessed that he was a prostitute, willingly, while saying that he liked Marce, he got on the side with another lover. In fact, every woman in the upper class swims like this. Walking between the men, all men are fishing, and pounce wherever it is good. Taking advantage of the darkness, the group organized an adventure to the castle. The sentence mentioned in it is very important-Careful, the place is overrun with mice, beetles, vipers, owls and vampires. This sentence comes from the vampire Dracula According to legend, the castle where vampires live is full of snakes, insects, mice, and ants. Then the person who said this sentence also added a sentence And now it will also be full of whores, which means that this place will still be full of whores. I think this sentence not only represents these men’s views on this group of women, but also clearly shows. The rotten land of Rome is full of fornication, just like the ancient castle of vampires is full of dirt, the core of Rome is corruption, so it breeds and attracts all kinds of corruption, and it also implies that this ancient castle has been in such an indecent way from ancient times to the present. The purpose is now and in the future, so the woman with a strand of white silk in her black hair came here for a moment. During the process, they also played a game of soul-seeking. When they said there were ghosts here, there was a hand in the camera that floated over to lead the horse, and then it began to be indescribable.
Next, in the separation and reunion with Emma, Marche said that I dislike you for your aggression, dependence, and maternal love. First abandoned by his father, as well as the vision opened last night, coupled with the humiliation of M and the twisted love of Emma has brought Marche to the brink of collapse, and finally came a bit of comfort, and Steiner’s suicides followed one after another. Then, it became the last straw that crushed the camel, and even Steiner, the beacon of hope, fell, and Marche completely fell, from a bystander to a participant, and integrated into this fall. At the last completely depraved party, Marche became a crazy leader, hitting the door and breaking the window, indicating that he had become an advertiser, and sold his soul for money, a girl called him a worm, and he quarreled with Emma. When I said that Emma's love forced him to be like a worm, there is really no way out but to become a worm. As long as he pays a full commission, he can write articles to package you into anyone. 250,000 is Paul Newman (starring in "Blood on the Bar"), 300,000 is Marlon Brando (the very famous "Godfather"), and 400,000 is John Barrymore. ("Grand Hotel", "Dr. Incarnation") Since then, commercial packaging has revealed its absurdity, and now the age of traffic stars is at its peak. At the depraved party, there were lawyers, stars, actors, etc., staged gay ballet, striptease and other performances. Marche's behavior became more and more outrageous, almost like a mental illness. After the owner of the house issued the order, Marche still insisted on the party. , I made some comments on everyone present, and finally blatantly scorned one of the girls. This was the peak of Mace’s fall. At last it was dawn, and Marche made a congratulatory speech one by one to everyone who had left the show. The male ballerina at the beach said another very important thing-The more that retire, the more new ones come out, two go and ten take their place, by 1965 there will be complete depravation. After leaving two, ten new ones come, It could be completely degenerate in 1965. The fall of Rome is almost like a political goal. There was a strange fish stranded on the beach. Many people have interpreted the symbol of the strange fish, so I won't elaborate on it. At the last moment, the angel appeared between the shore and the shore. At the beginning, Mace lost all his ability to flirt across the shore. So he was unmoved by the olive branch extended by the angel. In the end, the angel waved goodbye. Mache also raised his hand. There was nothing on his ring finger ring. Mace has probably understood the "sweetness of life".
