Odéon, belly and heart

(currently can't write review coz I even can't finish my essays which is due this friday!! 凸-  - )












    I love the colour and composition of this Fellini's production even though the story is a little bit confusing.
   but I guess most european people have a kind of worship of the ancient Roma perhaps, like many Chinese worship the great Tang Dynasty.
   Think about this point, I was not as confusing as beginning and temporarily transferred my attention from trying understand the story and ambiguous dialogues to the beautiful coulour and well-considered sceneries or just simply a fast image.
  It's hard to imagine how to produce this film in that era... so many actors, so many delicate sceneries, so many gorgeous costumes and stage props...for such a controversial, obscure scenario...
  I have to stop here!Go Back To My ESSAYS!
  Sorry the music is not adapt to this blog but I'm already un poco loco!!

1=11=11=Tony Takitani





"Tony Takitani's real name was...it really was Tony Takitani."

a phrase seems so meaningless, but it actually does make sense:
from this very beginning, haruki told us this is a tale

this is a tale
there is no one as lonely as Tony
there is no one as crazy about beautiful clothes as Eiko
there is no room as full of heavy memories as that dressing room
simply a hypothesis
without any disguise
even we add more unusual things

sky
white villa
large window
bicycle
desk
cactus
room full of clothes
nature*

and Sakamoto's music

this is a film without sex, violence, even love.
actually there is love
but looks different from the ordinary one.
or just because it is too ordinary.

a love without deep emotion
or just because it is too deep.

How can love affect a lonely person?
The loneliest person in the world?
Or one of the loneliest person in the world?

It does affected, but unfortunately
Eventually, he is still lonely.

As he said
he never felt especially lonely.

well,
no one can help him.
he is fatal.

the last ring to Hisako
through the phone
made me remember the old telephone in that era

it hasn't any decoration
it hasn't LCD screen

so once we missed a call
basically
we'll never have the chance to know
who phoned

it is simply attractive, isn't it?





a life with mystery.
