Is Marcello Mastroianni happy with his life or is it completely void of meaning?
I’d only seen one other Fellini film before and this is his most famous one so I had to check it out. I had no idea it was almost three hours long. It follows Marcello Mastroianni in Rome across five distinct themes.<br /><br />The first is women. This is where the famous scene of Anita Ekberg dancing takes place. He’s part playboy, part romantic. He plays with women but is played by them.<br /><br />The second is religion. He meets his friend in a church and then writes about several children who claim they saw the Virgin Mary at a tree. When the event is over the crowd dismembers the tree hoping to take a bit of the miracle with them while a sick child is trampled to death. It’s obviously a disparaging look at religious fervor.<br /><br />Third is an intellectual interlude as Mastroianni goes to an apartment with a philosopher, poets and a folk singer. One of them discusses what life should be about.<br /><br />Fourth is family as Mastroianni spends a day with his father. His dad was mostly absent from his life and he’s no different now.<br /><br />The fifth is death as he finds his friend has committed suicide. It’s a stark contrast to most of the movie which had so many parties and women.<br /><br />When you first see this movie I think most people will enjoy Mastroianni’s character. He gets to live the high life with the rich and famous and love plenty of women. The end however show his contempt for this lifestyle because it’s empty of meaning.
