Cena Trimalchionis

[@CristianVancaillie]

INCREDIBLE... ❤❤❤❤❤

[@poetcomic1]

The man who played Trimalchio was not even an actor but a famous Rome restaurant owner and old friend of Fellini. His mournful basset hound eyes were exactly what Fellini wanted. He is superb in the role.

[@ricardoafonso430]

What a wonderful piece of trivia

[@blackhawck70]

Fellini is a true master of the cinematic arts; he was able to portray in this scene the psychological state of the upper class, who are enmeshed in an addiction to material pleasures to the point where their emotions become dull, as shown in the expressions on their faces.

[@kkallebb]

The entrance of Capucine here in the role of Trifena is a great moment. One of the most memorable roles for this fine actress. The control she has over her movements, gestures and expressions is wonderful.

[@jamestown8398]

This scene in the Satyricon was written by Petronius as a criticism. The character of Trimalchio, the one throwing this feast, was a caricature of irrisponsible and obnoxious Nouveau Riche. Trimalchio was born a slave and became free and very wealthy before the events of the play, but instead of using his wealth to acquire education or wisdom he luxuriates in it and throws obscenely lavish feasts. In order to stroke his own ego, Trimalchio holds a mock-funeral for himself so he can see himself being mourned. The horns involved are mistaken for an alarm of a fire and the Vigiles (a mix of police and fire-fighters) kick down the door. The protagonist, Encolpius, is disgusted by this feast and uses the entry of the Vigiles as cover to leave.

I thought it was a parody about Plato's symposium?

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

God I love how often people either stare blankly at the camera or laugh maniacally for no apparent reason in this classic. My favourite film of all time. Pure aesthetic transcendence.

[@Etherdave]

When I read Petronius it was pointed out to me that the banquet, although appearing to be composed of exotic foods from outside Rome, is actually all composed of ordinary Roman foods, including sausages, lots of organ meat, poultry, and pork. Trimalchio is a vulgar, unlearned man, but seems to know it, and revels in it, as he is nonetheless one of the wealthiest men in Rome. His banquets are certainly lavish, but they are shams, perfectly complementing the array of sycophants and brown-nosers that surround him. Only his wife dares to speak out against him, and gets gravy in the face for her trouble.

Thank you, 👍

[@valmarsiglia]

An actual Roman feast would probably seem this strange to us, they wouldn't look like the cleaned-up Hollywood versions we're used to.

[@e.jenima7263]

Probably not. there makeup would be very Garish in our view because Clear Glass Mirrors were not a thing yet plus they had no knives or forks. Plus they would often Induce Vomiting so they could continue to et since some feasts could go on for days and things like Coffee again were not on the dinner tables yet so drinking a double strong coffee to 'Make Room" was not a option ither. Plus you had the entertainment of Strang deformed people we call freaks of the disabled at such events as well bc. they thought they were magical a common belief even up until the 19'th century.

[@valmarsiglia]

@@e.jenima7263 That whole thing about Romans vomiting at banquets so they could eat more is a myth. A vomitorium was actually just the name of the passageway leading out of a stadium.

[@pandaberserk3390]

i like how some actors stare at the camera like there staring at you as if your actually there,it helps in the immersion of this film.

[@pandaberserk3390]

i got high one day and watched this on showtime or hbo idk which one. i discovered fellini not only that but i discovered how directors view point make or break a movie. i knew if i seen certain director on the movie what to expect. its hard to explain but when ever i seen a scott free intro i knew it would be good.

[@mrbukater2794]

I remember I was a middle school kid and would turn on my TV in the morning before school. And the Pay Per View channel that advertised all PPV movies was showing this clip. The lady historically laughing caused a huge impact on me. I was left both confused and amused.

[@chestersakamoto6843]

I'm sure Maestro Fellini took some creative liberties as a filmmaker and artist, but if Roman feasts were as surreal and unusual (to our eyes) as this, I for one would have loved to attend one!

[@capricosm8086]

The greatest film ever made.

@femoman in the book they cut open a pig with live birds and there is a pig with sausage pouring out of it

[@mrsbrown333]

i want to throw a fellini party for my funeral

[@poetcomic1]

Almost everything was filmed in Cinecitta studio sets... it gets a bit claustrophobic sometimes.

[@Bangwhistle]

At 3:41 you can hear a theme Nino Rota used again in "The Godfather."

[@ArtistPare]

Good catch, in fact it’s the signature motive of that film

[@KohanKilletz]

When they cut open that pig and all that meat came out, my stomach wrote poems of such longing and loss they were worthy of Sappho

[@andreaprodan5616]

disgusting giant subtitles are defacing Fellini's painting-in-motion!

I was looking forward to seeing the live birds flutter out of the pig; this movie changed the vibe quite a lot.

Filini's interpretation of one of the most highly regarded pieces of Latin literature ever written. Get an education.

[@chuckkhubbard610]

Can you analyze the work or are you just quoting blurbs?

[@marufhossain6534]

@@chuckkhubbard610 If you say this, it rather shows your ignorance. He tells everybody to get an education, what's wrong with it?

[@badmuthahubbard]

@@marufhossain6534 There is nothing wrong with education, but telling people "Get an education" is always condescending. Being able to say that Satyricon is "one of the most highly regarded pieces of Latin literature ever written" shows only that he read something about it somewhere. Why not actually talk about the content of Satyricon?

[@апвапвапвапвапвапва]

Cum dixisset Agamemnon: "Pauper et dives inimici erant. . .", ait Trimalchio: "Quid est pauper? - Vrbane", inquit Agamemnon et nescio quam controversiam euit. Statim Trimalchio: "Hoc, inquit, si factum est, controversia non est; si factum non est, nihil est." Haec aliaque cum effusissimis prosequeremur laudationibus: "Rogo, inquit, Agamemnon mihi carissime, numquid duodecim aerumnas Herculis tenes, aut de Vlixe fabulam, quemadmodum illi Cyclops pollicem poricino extorsit? Solebam haec ego puer apud Homerum legere. Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: "Sibilla, ti thelis?", respondebat illa: "apothanin thelo".
