Literary embarrassment

After watching this movie, I felt depressed and confused, because I was also in the pain of the director in the movie, and I didn't want to watch it a second time, not because the movie was bad, but because I took care of myself more than the movie mood. As a film major, this film is a must watch. The director has his unique way of expressing the inner contradictions of the characters and the handling of the surrounding environment. It's just that I want to say that movies are neither good nor bad. Because of the film's fame, it cannot be forced to say that he likes to pretend to be the so-called "literary". In my opinion, the word "literary and art" is too embarrassing. People who have no culture and no understanding put the label of "literary and art" all over their bodies, but step by step, "literary and art" leads to a derogatory meaning.

    This movie feels garish. The director is a bit neurotic, delicate and sensitive. A very personal film, kind of like The Sun Also Rises. I don't like this one mainly because it's too talkative!

    Fellini's blood letter to the movie, the ultimate fan of the movie is hatred. The creative director struggles in the tug-of-war between reality, memory, dreams and imagination. The burden of his past reputation, the coercion of the producer and the playwright, the complicated personal relationship with the main actor, and the noise of the media make him busy and exhausted. . Dreamers are trapped by the dreams they create. Life is a circus that never sleeps. Time wields a whip and beats you, the director of the circus.
