The most recent movie I saw was Eight and a Half Films.
This movie is Fellini's masterpiece, which seems to be the yardstick for film lovers to be professional or not, and people who like it think it is a god work, and those who don't like it can't understand it. I've been well known for this film for a long time, lying on the Douban "want to see" list for a few years, and finally made up my mind to watch this controversial movie.
Honestly, this movie is really not easy to understand, and I watched the 138-minute film for three days. After reading it, I was also confused, and I seemed to understand it and didn't seem to understand it. As far as the plot is concerned, it seems to be understood, and in terms of its technology and connotation, it seems that it is not understood.
The plot is actually very simple, the protagonist is a well-known director, he is preparing a new film, but he has not yet thought of what to shoot. He was surrounded by a crowd of filmmakers, playwrights, actors, journalists, as well as his lovers, wives, friends, and so on, and there was a lot of noise around him.
He was bound, he didn't have the freedom to make the movie he wanted to make, and it was possible that he had lost his creative power and didn't know what to shoot. In short, he was already trapped and could not get out. He was often immersed in his own fantasies and dreams, which disturbed reality.
The dreams in the film are similar to Freud's, and it is said that they are often analyzed as psychological cases. Indeed, the dream in the movie also directly explains the situation of the protagonist, in which he wants to escape, wants to wantonly override the women around him, and truly reflects his heart.
At the end of the film, he is already highly nervous and is forced to hold a press conference in front of the film venue. Faced with the reporters' menacing questions, he completely broke down and cowered under the table in an attempt to escape. In the end, he canceled the shooting plan and finally got rid of all the entanglement.
The places I can understand are limited to this, the technical part, the artistic part, the ideological part, it seems to feel some, but it seems to scratch the itch of the boot. Watching the polarized debates among movie fans in the bullet screen and douban, I don't seem to be watching the same movie as them.
However, the protagonist's entanglement, confusion, and confusion in the movie, I feel it completely. To some extent, I am also in this state now, facing the current state of work and life, I want to escape, and I don't know what to do after escaping, and I am often in pain.
I really want to get rid of everything now, quit my job, sell my house, buy a car, take my only belongings, and drive to the unknown far away. But reality dragged me back again, the unknown is a dream and a fear, no job, there is no income, what to do in the future life, what to do in life?
Cowardly, I like to watch the UP masters of those travel programs on the Internet, envying them for saying that they will go, and even throw darts to tie the map, and go where they go immediately. This free and unbridled life, at this stage, I only have a share of envy, and then secretly buy a lottery ticket to fantasize about the future.
