Hymn of the town

I was going to raise my hands and feet to worship the master's sense of humor, but I was so sad to see people behind. Italian directors always love their hometown to their bones, and the sentimental and charming life in a small town is not unforgettable. You can see the dandelions floating in March, the earl of Peacocks on a rainy and snowy day, the long-horned white cows walking in the fog, and all kinds of small town characters. A naughty mischievous little devil head (he thought of wrapping a long strip of paper to pee and blame on the classmates who were criticized on the stage); the stereotyped, serious and uncontrollable teacher is often driven into madness by the students; always like to ask before The pastor who came to confess whether he had ever masturbated was an old and dishonest; when the prostitute Wopina appeared on the scene, she was used to the appearance of excessive hormone secretion; a construction worker who loved to write poetry ("bricks"-my grandfather made bricks , My father made bricks, and I also made bricks, but where is my house?) How bitter and moving it is; the little fat guy who dreams of marrying his favorite girl in the fascist review will also say for other teenagers The woman who had a crush was fighting for her when she; the lunatic uncle who climbed the tree shouted on the branch again: "I want a woman"? Understand him, he is forty-two years old; oh, the blind musician who played the accordion in the fields regardless of the wind and rain once asked people around him excitedly when he appeared on the sea on Mussolini's great ship, "What is it like? What is it like?"; Gladska, the eternal lover who made the men of the town fantasize in tears, said that she only hopes to meet a lifelong encounter, a home, a few children and a husband who can chat at dinner At the end of the film, she got married. People in the small town poetically praised her for crowning her dream with love, but his husband is an idiot!

    Faint catkins. Lightly sad. Memories are a fire in winter. It was the sweat on the head of Everest. It's a big white cow who comes and goes without a trace. It's a peacock that falls on the snow. It's father's bald head. Mother's funeral. Spring comes and goes. The catkins fluttered. Like life is like happiness. Want to catch but can't catch it.

    #FelliniCentenaryBirthScreen. Archives Photo# A prose poem written by Fellini to his hometown, witty and absurd, magical and lovely, cruel and sad... There are always glimpses of Impressionism, and the nostalgic pictures are in the The big screen flashes, trivial memories of a small town. It doesn't matter whether it is male or female, it is not clear which is the protagonist and supporting role. There are many characters but all of them have distinct personalities. Maybe the real protagonist is this lovely land in Italy? Some people get married, some grow up, and some grow old and die. Fellini is an absolute author-type director, and every screen dialogue is the embodiment of his jumping thoughts. Relatively speaking, Tornatore's "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is obviously more concrete. ps, the title of Amarcord seems to be an Italian dialect (meaning "I remember", I remember), and the melody that often appears in the film is the famous "Siboney".
