Chris favorite movies. New # 19.
In my flurry of movie watching, I have located another masterpiece. The name of this one is 8 1/2. Fellini's masterwork is , as it was first titled, a Beautiful Confusion. You never really know if you are watching a dream or if your are watching a real part of the man's life. But that is why I like it so much.
Marcello Mastroianni plays the title character Guido Anselmi. Guido is a director with an extreme case of writers block. He is in the middle of making his new film, but he can't figure out where he wants it to go. He is being criticized severely and he is getting pressured by all involved on the movie to give out details. He tells them he will tell them eventually, but he really doesnt know what he wants to say. To deepen his problems even further, he is torn between three girls. His wife, his lover, and his perfect girl. The film is so amazing. The way it transfers between reality and dreamscapes is fantastic. The end is rather confusing. It takes awhile to understand it. I love it because you can make your own opinion about it. I just recently watched this film, and I dont completly understand it yet. But, I know that it is a masterpiece and it was absoultely a joy to watch. Highly recommended.
