1. I downloaded the MiniSD version of TLF. The picture quality is not very clear, the subtitles are messed up, many places are not translated, and the translated timeline is not correct. It needs to be re-synchronized constantly. In the future, I have time to collect Zhang D9, I need to review it.

2. This is a three-part film, starring Sophia Loren and Mastroianni in all three parts. Desica's films have only seen "Bicycle Thief" before, but Mastroianni starred in "Eight and a Half" and "Sweet Life".

3.1 The first part of the film reminds me of Fellini, especially "Amakode", the poetic rhythm and rhythm are so similar, but not the same.
It starts with a lawyer telling you that you can't be arrested if you're pregnant, a series of word of mouth, from upstairs to downstairs, from the end of the alley to the corner, across the entire building, and finally the children line up, sing and parade across the road Going to the beach, shouting to people on the boat - waving your arms and gesturing. This group of shots was done in one go, without delay, and the scene scheduling was amazing.
Avoiding jail time by getting pregnant all the time, getting amnesty with the help of an entire neighborhood after exhausting your husband, this comic construction of a life of poverty is upbeat and moving. Life doesn't have to be so serious and frowning.
3.2 The second part of the film reminds me of Roman Polanski's short film collection (included in the double D9 of "Water Knife"), in which Roland played a typical "true capital, pseudo-literary" woman, pursuing a romantic coat Being slaughtered by the money-oriented interior, characters like the "price sticker" in "Three Fools" are the mainstream of the material age. Although not as explicit as Polanski's short film "Fat and Thin", the substance of the satire is similar.
In addition, I don't know why I thought of the fourth paragraph of "The Story of Time", "Sign up for a Name", the busy and tense city life, so that I have a bad temper when I come out for an affair behind my husband's back.
3.3 The third part of the film reminds me of the first paragraph of "Heavy Rain", although the characters' situational atmosphere and the use of camera language are completely different. But love (sex) challenges God in a similar way. Mastroianni plays a man who is full of sexual fantasies (tempting uniforms, adjusting the light, making music, flying tissues to create a sensual atmosphere), a man who wants to have sex but can't get it in the end (has not been approved, and is scolded by his father) is also quite impressive Pitiful.

4. The themes of the three parts, if an inappropriate generalization, can be said to be "sex and law", "sex and money", "sex and religion".
In the first part, as long as you are pregnant, you can evade the punishment of the law. Even if you are not pregnant later, the masses and the media are moved by this prosperous life and even come for amnesty (even the police buy things to support it). Sex has won the battle with law.
The second part of the rich woman is looking for an interesting man to have sex with, but because the Rolls Royce was damaged, she immediately turned her face away, and left with a man who only had money in her mind that she had despised just now. Sex in this part is nothing more than a plaything for the rich to adjust their lives occasionally.
The third part of the seminary students is aroused by the lustful sex practitioners and wants to give up being priests. At his grandmother's persuasion, the sex worker decided not to have sex for a week to save the boy who "could be a pope in his grandmother's opinion". As a customer, the man was always called by Sophia Roland, and his desire could not be satisfied. At the end of the film, after a seductive strip show, the woman refuses to have sex because she has sworn an oath. After the man was mad, he sat in front of the icon with the woman, and the bell rang from the church in the distance. In this passage, God is denied by sex, but also returned because of sex, and sex is finally sublimated because of religion.
It is worth mentioning that in the third paragraph, Reed Sika portrays a very dignified sex practitioner. She will feel uncomfortable and angry because of her grandmother's accusations, and she will also kindly save promising young people. She enjoys sex, picks her clients, and earns a lot of money and flair.

5. This film can be regarded as a real comedy. It does not have insignificant gags, but shows the most realistic helplessness in life in a detached form. Even if the world is full of disappointments, there is nothing really to worry about.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow quotes

  • Renzo: Anna, if you hadn't called me this morning, who would you have called?

    Anna Molteni: Nobody. Nobody. I'm alone.

    Renzo: With all the people you know?

    Anna Molteni: With all the people I know.

  • Anna Molteni: Renzo, help me. Let's go far away, to the sun. To Rome, Naples.

    Renzo: Yes, let's go.

    Anna Molteni: We'll arrive at night, in the lamplight. The still, silky water. We'll ride in a carriage and find a nice small, small place, just for us. The dark sky, full of stars. And music, lots of music in the air through the streets under our windows. Tomorrow we'll wake up late, as the sun creeps into the bed and over your eyes. You'll take me in your arms and caress me. You'll hold me so tight!
