Sexuality & Imagination | 8 1/2 | Federico Fellini | Ctrl Alt Cinema

[@sky44david]

You have made another of the best cinema art considerations that I find on youtube. This complex multilayered and non-linear thread of associations is (like 8 1/2) subjective to the viewer. The participation of the viewer is paramount to making "It Happen". Cinema as a Art Form is subjective by this openness and resistance to any single line of linear narrative interpretation. All multi-points-of-view are subjectively correct. It is so wonderful to see a film being considered with such open complexity as opposed to another linear analysis.

Thank you sir.

Indeed! Guido even draws Saraghina's eyebrows on Carlota's face. ;-)

[@imdiyu]

Does he? I never noticed. I will have to watch the film again?

Close observation

[@rottensquid]

Yup, absolutely. That recurring image of this wild, big-haired woman with Spock eyebrows has a weird, haunting effect throughout the film. I think it starts off right there in that scene, where he crudely paints them on Carlota, and she makes that face, playing into his fantasy.

[@rottensquid]

I mean, this is a Fellini film, possibly the most Fellini film, and as such, this insightful reading is absolutely correct. That said, Claudia is also everything Guido wanted her to be. Her rejection of his role for her is the very thing that disillusions him, provides his film with the honesty he's been searching for, and ultimately does redeem him. So in a way, the whole film revolves around her too.

[@imdiyu]

Yes.

[@Poetboyy]

My favorite movie of all time and one of the greatest. It is a story and experience that can only be conveyed through the medium of film.

[@imdiyu]

Indeed

[@user-ve2iz2rw8y]

Great vid! Love your take on movies. Please do a video about a movie by Luis Buñuel.

[@imdiyu]

Thank you.

How does time not make you think of a clock? I completely disagree with that statement towards the beginning. Otherwise, great video

[@imdiyu]

Does it always make you think of a clock?

[@Dominic-Decoco]

@@imdiyu Yes. I honestly can’t think of another image I would associate with time besides a clock or watch.

[@rottensquid]

@@imdiyu Yeah, I agree. We think of a clock only when we think "what time is it?" But when we think of time passing, time saved or wasted, time lost, past times, etc, we usually associate these thoughts with events, not numbers on circles.

Crucified by time

[@yazanasad7811]

Sexuality and imagination liberating (comes with baggage)

[@yazanasad7811]

The past as a singularity in that the characters of the past are singular, crisp, distinct

[@yazanasad7811]

Saragina as singular point (of trauma) and of reconciliation? The Madonna image is able to show gratitude to her and move on (potentially)

[@markydark8286]

This film is hontlsey so beautiful.
