what is beauty

To be honest, I don't know why I'm still writing reviews so seriously.

I met the director Sorrentino in an advertisement on the streets of Prague, when his "Youthful" was just released.

To be honest, the translation of the film's name is not very good, but the English name is more appropriate, "the great beauty", of course, the whole film uses a lot of montage techniques, such intensive use will make the audience feel a little bit different. Distracted, there will be inexplicable anxiety about fear of falling.

In fact, it is quite simple to say, the movie just says that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.

"This is my life, he is nothing"

A reporter who only wrote one novel, realized his dream of life prematurely, and lived as dazzling as Gatsby, but he was always looking for the sustenance of life, and he was both integrated and free at the party at night. Outside, he is more like an observer to observe the world around him, but almost all the people around him live in lies, and he is helpless again and again.

Perhaps only when a person is lying in bed, looking at the ceiling, will come out to the sea, that bright evening when he meets his first love, can he feel that beautiful moment again and again.

The director said that the movie was his own account, and I began to understand why I liked him so much, because he had a way of throwing out my own doubts, and then told me that I tried it. In the end he said to you, "The beauty you seek is never there, everyone's life is broken, you can't stand on the side and observe until the beauty comes, because the moment of beauty is the magic of life, You raise your hand and he will disappear. But when you want to disappear, the director will tell you that it is also a trick.”

    Although the filming is a bit too "oily", the expression on the video is still "good-looking", perhaps a tribute to eight and a half. Last year in Marionba, this year in Rome. The movement of the camera at the end glances over the city and reminds me of Eclipse, a love letter to Rome

    Sorrentino's ambitious work not only borrows and imitates his predecessor Fellini, but can even be seen as an attempt to integrate Fellini's three masterpieces "La Dolce Vita", "Eight and a Half" and "Roma" of transcendence. Therefore, in the film, you can see the false and flashy Italian upper class, the self-distress and redemption as a writer, and the beautiful and splendid city of Rome. Under the excellent control of the director, they become mysterious and ambiguous

The Great Beauty quotes

  • Lello Cava: Italy - what are we famous for overseas? Fashion an pizza. A country of weavers and grocers.

  • Stefania: Rome is the only city in the world where Marxism has truly existed. You can't excel over others for more than a week, you're immediately brought back to mediocrity. Rome is pure collectivism.

    Jep Gambardella: Pure collectivism. Stefania, what utter nonsense! Do you know that Flaubert wanted to write a book about nothing? If he'd met you, we'd have had a great book, what a shame!
