    A group of middle-aged people who make a living by cheating, in the end there is only one person who "passes people" and "passes oneself", but the price is heavy. It is rare to see Fellini's unfiltered realistic subject matter. The first half is critical, and the second half actually makes people feel pity. 【Archive Fellini Centennial Memorial Restoration Film...

    Italian neorealist films are not my thing, too close to the ground is suffocating (in a good way). There are still a few moments in this series where the loneliness after the hustle and bustle strikes, the conversation between the Picassos and his wife after the dance, Auguste walking alone in the square, night and dawn are the only gaps for these "scumbags" to think after they wake up. In short, everything is very "tidy", even the kind that is too...

    Comedy begins, tragedy ends. The discussion of the good and evil of human nature cannot be separated from the challenges of real life. The difficulty is not to change oneself, but to deny oneself. Fellini's more concise works often use close-up dialogues to highlight inner activities, and the lens often follows disappointment and...

    @Suzhou Fellini The perspective of the first half of the exhibition turned in a mess. At that time, Fei Fei could only be regarded as a liar in the play, and August's final defense had already deceived me, and I didn't expect it to end up like that. Having said that, Fei Fei was a real movie liar after he played out the deception of...

    Use a liar (edge) to tell the life of the bottom and the rich, with a precise perspective. The ending is heartbreaking. Which answer is Augustus closer to his heart: the "old boy" who is addicted to deception, the daughter he cares about, the pious and sincere lame daughter of the farmer? What is the motive behind his actions to deceive his companions? I think the director didn't seem to explain...

    The nature of scammers. Fellini’s sophisticated setting of the plot makes the movie itself a "scam" for the audience. In the past, the accomplices were rich and wealthy, and held a luxurious dance party in the mansion. However, the protagonist Augusto had to worry about his daughter's living expenses, and was even found in the theater by the victim and sent to the police station. In contrast, the audience began to sympathize with his experience, and began to believe in the arrival of salvation...

    The return to neorealism still flashes with Fellini-esque pomp and glamour at times, but the joy of self-deception can no longer hide the bitterness of self-loathing. The liar, the old man and the disguised priest have multiple identities in one person, giving the character of Augusto a strong symbolic color, and insisting on the integrity of his name with a hypocritical body. The prodigal son's return or the young accomplices who have gone far away are like a mirrored tomorrow, struggling to...

    Watched intermittently, it is reasonable to say that it is a first-class movie. But I seem to have formed a stereotype for Fellini, and I can't appreciate it very much. Still a good road....

    Give the liar the fetters of family affection, and add a soft human color to the other end of the deceitful deceit, and the ending is also drawn from this thread. It's just that in the final chapter after Augusto was put in prison, the other two people in the gang stopped appearing, joined the temporary newcomers, and then quickly ended with a failure. This kind of processing is still a bit short and...

    Fellini's 5-star films are only "Eight and a half", "La Dolce Vita" and "Armacord"; Antonioni's only "Night" and "Zoom"; PS: Italian is the best language for...

    "Liar" Recommendation: Reality More Realistic than Reality

    The loneliness trilogy compares in popularity, "The Road" and "Night of Kabylia" are two towering breast peaks, and "The Liar" is an unknown birthmark lurking deep in the cleavage. Fellini would like this analogy, because his highest pursuit in life is to bury his head between his big breasts until...

    "The Liar" may be Fellini's most realistic film

    Compared with the road, it is indeed more realistic. This time, "rooting down" is very thorough. A large number of shots directly show the life status of the poor people at the bottom of society, such as the poor peasant women and the miserable families of lame girls. , And groups of farmers are...

    Augusto: [Lecturing] People like us can't have families. One must be free to move. You can't have a wife. You must be alone. The most important thing when you're young is freedom. It's more important thn the air you breathe. You're scared now! What will you do when you're my age?

  • Rinaldo: [Mockimgly] Do you still carry a skull with you?

    Augusto: [to Picasso in the back seat] If this guy shakes your hand, count your fingers. You'll be missing a few. He'd cheat his own mother.
