Although the overall content seems to be quite ordinary, it intertwines many strange social events, multiple and complex male and female love relationships, sincere and false upper class life, the sad state of mind of sheng song and amusement, and the good and bad at both ends, and is stuffed with obscure metaphorical semiotics.
In addition, the many connections between la dolce vita and religion have caused an uproar and become a film with a highly incorrect moral scale, but the gold medal blessing has ignited the high curiosity and enthusiasm of the viewer, stirring up another chapter of non-dialectics.
Putting aside the highly controversial issues, the film also has several particularly impressive bridge sections, such as the statue of Jesus hanging obliquely, the fountain of beautiful women playing in the water, the apparition of the Virgin Mary operated by the media, the stripping dance of the erosion party, etc.;
Fellini takes the elements of carnival, dream, loneliness and wandering that he is good at as his support, and on the one hand, After the Second World War, Italy is "dying and dying", but there are people who "live in the present and enjoy themselves in real time", using light and shadow to set off loneliness and loneliness, ironically the meaning of the film title "la dolce vita", and the plot between reality and illusion is superimposed, making it a classic of fusion and pre-division of pre- and post-creative styles.
It is worth mentioning that Fellini's royal team, screen spokesperson, Venice Film Festival film emperor Marcello Mastroianni (Marcello Mastroianni), "La Dolce Vita" is also their first collaboration;
Described by the director as "the most wonderful woman created since the beginning of time", the former Miss Sweden, and the contemporary sexy Anita Ekberg, she is also famous for the gorgeous beauty of the hibiscus in the water.
The literal meaning was originally the "paparazzo" (paparazzi) of "independent photographers", and in the film, he only sought the work of photographs by any means, and since then it has become a synonym for British and American "paparazzi" reporters, which is more meaningful to the times.
