The film began at the end of World War II. The black-and-white recorded images reminded me of another work by the director, "A Special Day", but one before and one after World War II. There are three men and one woman. In fact, most of the time they are two men and one woman, and the other does not have a high sense of existence. Such a combination of men and women has the shadow of the French New Wave. The first half of the film uses a lot of pauses in the surrounding environment and characters. The spotlight falls from the sky on the protagonist and cooperates with the monologue to show and highlight the psychology and intentions of the teller, such as Antonio’s confession to Luciana in the restaurant, and Nicola typing through a typewriter. Communicating with the contradictory wife, etc., the use of the halo expression of the protagonist in the theater style in the movie is refreshing. Antonio, Giani, and Nicolas are comrades in the Second World War. The first half of the film cruises in the tangled relationship between men and women. At first Luciana fell in love with Antonio, and then Luciana fell in love with Giani at first sight. Antonio took the initiative. Luciana was given to Jani, and then Jani married the daughter of his rich client for money and status, Luciana and Antonio came together again. In the second half of the film, it entered a state of fascination. First, Nikolai appeared on TV to participate in a film quiz game, but finally failed. Then the film entered the set of Fellini's "Sweet Life". The shooting location was the famous fountain. Fellini and Mastroianni were on the set and played themselves, while Antonio came here with Luciana. A trip to the classic studio. Luciana and Fellini greeted and met, and Fellini's eyes full of appreciation and obscenity lived up to his title of lover. Another interesting detail is that a senior official came to shake hands with Fellini, and ended up calling Fellini Rossellini... This mistake is as embarrassing as calling Messi Ronaldo. Later, Desika also appeared in the film, and he gave a passionate speech on stage. Scola is obviously using this film to pay tribute to the life in Italy after the war and the golden age of Italian cinema. The downturn and turbulent era has fulfilled the explosion of film art. The last three long-lost comrades-in-arms each had a life that had nothing to do with each other. Antonio and Luciana got married and had children. The marriage between Jani and the rich man’s daughter was full of contradictions and gaps, but they could no longer leave each other. Sianna's position is ultimately his choice of love and bread. Jani is the richest of them, but also the loneliest.
