    Fellini's innocence

    Somehow, Fellini can't speak profoundly, and don't define Fellini's films with ideas. Films are different from novels, novels must have a central direction, but films are fluid, like a tide, venting thoughts in minutes. However, neither the literary work nor the film's established parts are doomed...

    I tried three times to finish the film, but still failed, I don't know why, maybe it's a translation problem? Not interested in the subject? Not enough understanding of the plot? cultural difference? Acting not to your taste? Logic doesn't fit your habit? Is the pace too slow? Is the story weak? Too literary? confusion? Maybe it's a combination of factors. In short, I only read the first hour, and the future will be difficult!

    Fellini's masterpiece has parted ways with new realism. The composition, light and shadow are excellent, the narrative has the shadow of the conscious stream, and the content combines social criticism and psychoanalysis, revealing the spiritual rootless state behind the life of the drunken gold fans in the upper class of Rome. The beginning of hanging the statue of Jesus (later borrowed by [Ulysses’s Gaze] [Goodbye Lenin]) and the end of the beach passage are full of symbolism, the big fountain, the phantom of the castle, the Apparition of the Virgin, and the fornication orgy. (9.0/10)
