    #FilmArchive# Fellini said: "It's hard to draw the line in 'Eight and a Half': which part is the beginning or the end of my personal events, from which point I am shaping the image (including me I only knew that my purpose was to recount the experience of a director who was in turmoil. Obviously, the most sincere and unscrupulous confession is involved when approaching such a...

    Fellini becomes a magician, showing, explaining, and exposing his tricks, while at the same time using them to make fun of us. From escaping from traffic jams to being pulled into a labyrinth of fickleness by the secular world, constantly and painfully shuttling between reality and dreams, using Freud to map reality and dreams, and at the same time inserting memory, life, and fantasy into the film to achieve film and life , the triple unity of...

    The unique inspirational drama of the ingenious juxtaposition of "Window of Reality" contains unparalleled reflexive references. The characteristics of modernist self-consciousness are not only knowledge but also require reflection and self-defense. The essence of reflexivity is conceptual. Asking questions, the conflict is metaphysical. In terms of the aesthetic question of "what else can a movie do", the fermented painting reproduced by the asymptote of reality is far less exciting than the...

    In his own creative bottleneck, Fellini simply made a film that was a bottleneck in his own creation. He was full of satire on religion, love and the film industry. The male protagonist gradually moved from unhappy to manic and chaotic, and gradually reached an "ugly" self. Reconciliation, "yes, it's ugly, it's rotten, it's meaningless" life no longer needs to be decorated and deceived, and the "broken pot and broken" has been released instead. "Under the nesting of double mirrors, it is...

    What is real? What is phantom? Where is the boundary between the two? Does that never-clear line really matter? The true and false are chaotic, and after splitting, it releases infinite energy like the big bang of the...

    memory, imagination, reality

    He is so good. I love it so much. Fellini, how did you do it?

    then make me hell

    On August 7th, I finally watched eight and a half of Fellini's masterpieces in Xiaoxitian. There was no trailer, no clear story background, and I didn't know anything about Fellini. With all the unknowns, I went. Into the cinema.

    This movie grabbed me almost from the very first act, and it went...

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.
