His Rome

It's hard to tell if this is a feature film or a documentary, and the "me" is always running through the film.
The film is divided into three parts: childhood, youth, and old age. When I was a child, I saw Rome from my teacher, in class, in cinemas, theaters, and cafes. A stone, an actor playing Caesar, school slides, the voice of the pope, historical films in cinemas, news films... Then came the youth, "I" came to Rome in war. People eat strange things, but they still have to eat, laugh, and sing... messy and noisy. And Rome is like "I" complaining to the hostess of the house, bloated and sick, but loves all his children and the guests who live in his house. In modern times, the plot is that I direct the shooting of a documentary about Rome. In the last paragraph, "I" is no longer obvious.
The section of subway repair probably means that modernization has destroyed ancient Rome... countless excellent things have disappeared.
There is also a short section that cannot be classified, that is, the Pope attends a trendy religious fashion show. I think I'm talking about the nobles with ancient history, religion still exists, but they all changed their faces and tried to adapt to modernization. But watching the performance in the movie, the director obviously thinks that this kind of modernization is an exaggerated funny.
At the end of the movie, young people rode in groups on motorcycles across bridges and proceeded along the road. It feels like saying that the world will eventually belong to these young people, who keep moving forward.
It is really imaginative to make a documentary like this, but it is also because he is the most famous director, and he filmed Rome in his eyes full of emotion. Use imagination to present a noisy, hot and humid, messy but friendly and lovely city.

Roma quotes

  • Owner of the Inn: You look like a nice boy. That's all. You can go now. One more thing, before I forget. Look me in the eyes, boy. There's to be no fooling around in this house. Understand? We're churchgoing people. We respect others and want to be respected in return. I would come to your house and do anything dirty. So let's just get that straight! Let's live in peace and not bust each other's balls!

  • Narrator: This gentlemen is a Roman. A Roman from dawn to dusk. As jealous of Rome as if she were his wife. He is afraid that in my film I might present her in a bad light. He is telling me that I should show only the better side of Rome: her historical profile, her monuments - not a bunch fo homosexuals or my usual enormous whores.
