The Sweetness of Life

As Fellini said, the movie is about the sweetness of life, not the sweet life. He said that this is a film about Rome, because Rome is the eternal city, the city of the heart.

And Rome could actually be any city in the world.
In a city like this, there are too many young people like Marcelo, who are all prostitutes abandoned by their dreams, with unrealistic fantasies, various desires, and vulgar compromises, but it seems that There is still a trace of pure yearning in the heart of a child. They never grow up, but they are old. They are like weeds, on the eternal earth, withering every year and growing in despair.

And life is like a quiet deep valley in early autumn, with both luscious springs and crumbling rocks, but we can only accept it all, right?

    Don't mess with me. This movie has no purpose. It's easier to live in poverty than living in a prison built with money and hanging out in high society wearing a mask. You are Eve, Mother, Sister, Lover, Friend, Angel, Satan, Earth, Home. 1. Actress in Rome at night 2. It rains on the set of the Virgin 3. Indoor oriental women 4. Typing at seaside restaurants 5. Accompanying father to nightclubs 6. A group of dancing girls and clowns 7. Dad is uncomfortable and gone 7. Echoes of cheating in the secret room 8. Ghost hunting Candlelight parade 9. Abandoned on the side of the road 10. Steiner committed suicide 11. Celebrating divorce striptease 12. Boring and promiscuous 13. Meeting girls at the beach again.

    The movie is so beautiful. The structure is breathtaking. The incomparably beautiful but empty and boring look and feel is exactly in line with the "sweet life" of that era. The ending is Fellini's darkest. Several allegories of religious belief are contradictory at the same time of contempt and yearning. Marcello Mastroianni is so charming, and the scene with Sylvia at the Trevi Fountain is really amazing. A game that will never be forgotten.

The Sweet Life quotes

  • Sylvia: [when a reporter asked her, "How do you sleep, with pajamas or nightgown?"] Neither. I sleep only in 2 drops of French perfume.

  • Emma: [to Paparazzo] How can you be this way? It's not possible to be like you! Hyenas! You're worse than hyenas! You don't respect anyone! You make me sick! Cowards!
