    Self-expression modernism, breaking through the linear narrative structure, the double mirror structure of the play within the play, polyphony and harmony, two lines of psychological action; poetic realism, circus-style artificial set, dramatic performance, a large number of flashbacks, fantasy and babble, comic...

    This movie feels garish. The director is a bit neurotic, delicate and sensitive. A very personal film, kind of like The Sun Also Rises. I don't like this one mainly because it's too...

    I absolutely fell in love with Fellini, I can't believe this movie is from 1963, what a wonderful work of magical...

    The whole plot seems to be similar to the past, and it does not rule out that I have seen this movie or the story of this movie before, maybe a nursing home or something, filming or something, the first thought that came to my mind was a novel by Bruno Schultz! ? The black and white pictures and high-pitched soundtrack are very impactful, while the pictures and line narration show a sense of alienation, surrealism, deconstruction, stream of consciousness, stage play style... Integrate a unique...

    The great film history masterpiece is not only because the director reviews and retells his own life with the repeated intersection of dreams, memories and reality in an autobiographical film (biopic) with a capacity of more than 2 hours, but also because this is a movie movie of. On the one hand, it covers almost all the motifs that filmmakers are concerned about at the moment, such as childhood, gender, love, religion, race, etc.; of creative anxiety and inspiration, and tortures himself in...

    This movie made me seriously doubt my fandom, I don't deserve to be a fan, I fell asleep watching it, I'm guilty, I've fallen asleep more than once, and I'm guilty. If you don't give this movie one star, you won't be able to pass your own psychological test, because if you give it a good score, there will be a dark suspicion that "I can't be the only one who suffers from this crime". I am a mentally healthy and bright person, I can't do that. , first give a star as a...

    I bought a DVD 10 years ago, but I haven't watched it all the time. Today I looked it up from the old stuff and watched it. Can you imagine that I, a director who shoots dreams, have never seen the famous eight and a half films? ? ? It seems to be the director's self-doubt and self-pity. However, the details in many dreams are quite real and touching, and penetrate into the heart. . . The artist's heart wants to fly high but is dragged back to the ground, wants to love but doesn't know how to...

    It was just normal

    I have known about Fellini's masterpiece "Eight and a Half" for a long time. After getting the source of the film (thanks to Cao and Yao), it took a while to watch it. This is a movie that I want to watch a second time immediately after watching it, not because it is so interesting, but because I...

8½ quotes

  • Guido: Enough of symbolism and these escapist themes of purity and innocence.

  • Guido: I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film to help bury forever all the dead things we carry around inside. Instead, it's me who lacks the courage to bury anything at all. Now I'm utterly confused, with this tower on my hands. I wonder why things turned out this way. Where did I lose my way? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway. Why don't those spirits of yours come to my aid? You always said they had lots of messages for me. Let them get to work.

    Rossella: I've already told you: your attitude is all wrong. You're curious in a childish way. You want too many guarantees.

    Guido: Fine, but what do they say?

    Rossella: The same as always. They're very reasonable. They know you very well.

    Guido: Well then?

    Rossella: They say you're free, but you have to choose. And you don't have much time. You have to hurry.
