"Big Road" by Zhu Tianwen

When the survey statistics announced that the baby boomers would all die in 1969. At this moment, I heard a faint ray of music, if intermittently, so familiar and so distant. At first I didn't pay attention, I wandered and died in the legend of the sanctuary. But it's here again, and it's gone. Time after time, clear and sure, until I heard it clearly and it was outside. I followed the sound. It was the living room. The TV screen was showing a black-and-white film. I couldn't believe what I saw. Above it was NHK Radio 2. I saw Fellini's road in progress.

Hercules Anthony Quinn, the low-minded girl Juliet Tower, and two lovely old friends came across time and space to meet, tears filled my eyes, sitting and watching similar dreams.

How long has it been? The Dalu we watched at Lincoln Center in the United States before Ayao went abroad was the last movie I watched together with Ayao. Whenever Nino Rota’s soundtrack is in the same place, Ayao twitches his nose like a cold. At the end of the play, he and Anthony Quinn knelt down on the beach with endless remorse and weeping. Ayao cried, and I cried. NS. We hurriedly rectified before the lights came on, we were still sorrowful when we escaped, and we walked silently. The entire Chongqing South Road is decorated with the national flag of the archway, and the golden wind of October is covered with gold everywhere. Ayao bought grilled squid. We drank the iced plum soup in the park and ate the squid on the stairs of the museum. Then we began to talk about our afterthoughts, but came to a conclusion that was completely opposite to our emotions. We dislike the big road, too homesick, not sharp enough. We are fascinated by eight and one-half, and worship the myth of love.

A few years later, I saw the Dalu video tape, with a feeling of recollection, and I learned some background knowledge when I watched it with Ayao. In those days, left-wing reporters were opposed to Dalu. This film has nothing to do with social and political issues. In neo-realism terms, this is a rejected film, decadent and reactionary. Only one commenter said, what a brave movie! He may have sniffed the courage of Dalu Li to resist the trend. But I still hold the consensus with Ayao that both the Hercules and the low-minded woman are Fellini, ideal people in their hearts, they are too romantic and excessive.

It seems that at this moment, Dalu has its only seat, and the off-screen is playing on the screen.

The two fringe men started a journey to earn a living by riding a motorized caravan with the bought low-minded woman. When the sun came out in winter, Hercules abandoned the low-minded woman who had recovered from illness and came back alive, leaving her with some money and food. A few years later, he joined the circus with beautiful women as the company of the strong men who played well. During the break, they swayed by the roadside. In the spring, fans were flying in the sky, and the children played basketball. As he walked, he suddenly stopped. The sound of singing came from wherever it seemed, broke, and came again. He walked towards, the melody became clearer and clearer, he saw a housewife in the suburbs humming a song to dry clothes, he asked the woman this song. The woman said that a wandering woman came here two years ago. She often sang and died here last year.

I covered my face and cried like the Hercules at the end of the film. Ayao and I, and Yongju, the color chasers who let us go wild on the margins of society, often fail in our own inner wasteland before we are defeated by social sanctions. How did I get myself in this room, let everything that Feiduo had, trample on mercilessly.

The low-minded female Hercules appeared at the right time and called to me. With our common language, that little local accent was enough for me to grasp it like a thread, and I walked out of the maze by following it. I am gentle and sweep the floor, only to avoid being naked. The funny eyelid of Juliet Tower, kind as round eyes of a doe, embraces Fellini, who is getting older and stranger and more difficult to get along with, and it also embraces my unbearably stupid appearance. She treats restlessness like gorse, heather calms people, rosin balances depression, gentian root increases endurance, jasmine is anti-depressant, lavender relieves anxiety, and honeysuckle relieves homesickness. Whether it’s Buck therapy or aromatherapy, it’s enough for me to talk about words and words therapy.

Let’s look at it, calendula treats toothache, camphor tree acts as astringent, and gray chrysanthemum detoxifies. Myrtle treats bronchitis, orange blossom helps digestion, kudzu is anti-diarrhea, oatmeal is anti-spasm, clove oil is antiseptic and pain relief, rosemary strengthens memory... After

watching the road, I turned off the TV and left the house of Fedo. Did not say goodbye to Fei Duo, of course, did not leave a footprint.

    Fellini's early neorealist masterpiece, the Oscar for best foreign language film. 1. So lonely! A tragic story of a rude wandering artist and a foolish female clown; 2. The feelings are delicate and sincere, and the performance of Fellini's wife Masina is very expressive, making people unable to help laugh at the same sorrow; 3. The sad soundtrack of Nino Rota; 4. Elements that run through Fellini's entire works: circus, clowns, beaches, people between heaven and earth, parades, wanderings, philandering men and infatuated women. (9.5/10) [2020.10.31 Revisiting the 4K Restoration at Yihai Theater] The second half of the episode was full of tears, so pure and affectionate. A small stone on the side of the road is also useful, otherwise, even the stars are meaningless. Some people know a lot and dare to take risks, but they always like to joke around. Some people are arrogant and arrogant because of their advantages in a certain area. It is not that they have no brains, but it is just too late to think. Some people love music, love romance, and attach great importance to friendship, but they can't stand their inferiority complex and can't stand exciting changes. "The Great Road" is like a fateful tragedy, no one has made any big mistakes, but the accidental mistakes have caused a fatal miss.

    It was a dark night, windy, and only the sound of the waves came from the beach. A fierce and strong man cried heart-to-heart, crying until he lay on the beach, crying silently. In fact, he loves deeply.
