Why is Terry dressed as Freddy Krueger?

Because it’s the only shirt he had with Fellini on it?

Lovely, revealing comments from Terry Gilliam. He has the kind of Frankness that Martin Scorsese sometimes misses in favour of respectability.

What gets me about people who post their dislike of 8 1/2 is that it's not like Fellini is sitting in his mansion worrying about what laypeople think of him. Firstly, he's dead. Secondly, when he was alive, he probably did cry - all the way to the bank!

So people critiquing a film on the internet must be so deluded that they think their critique will actually get through to the creator? They couldn't possibly just want to share their experience to someone, anyone? Also: Is an artistic film like this supposed to be valued in how much money the director made from it?

@@EatPieYes - Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion of art. And, I agree that money should not be the driving factor behind how we evaluate popular culture. That said, I have to think back to when I made that comment a while back and recall that I was mainly irked by keyboard warriors chiming in about things that they criticize because they 'don't get it'...

Gilliam and Mastroianni seem to be wearing very similar hats, coincidence? I don't think so.

I think they might have flipped the shot in the editing, to match the eye-line with close up of Marcello. He’s also flipping the page with his left hand

Terry Harris the movie is a set of distinct chapters. When you start to dream, I always do too, pause it and come back later. I've watched 8 1/2 many times but tend to watch it in thirds.

I watched about an hour of it but whilst it was made with a great eye and confident style, I felt zero emotional connection or interest in where it was going and so that was enough for me. A film can be very poetic let’s say like Tarkovsky’s Mirror, but a huge difference is that deep engagement that for me Fellini’s film wholly lacked. By contrast 8 1/2 just seemed superficial.

Andrew it’s funny you should say that because I only watched it for the first time last week and i turned it off after an hour, I can’t speak Italian and although I watch many subtitled films the constant chit chat and incessant reading of the subtitles really irritated me. And as you say I had no interest in what was happening. But here I am watching what terry thought of it because I just enjoy listening to him!

I have to say this is how I felt the first time I watched it, I slept maybe 30 minutes in, but knowing the history of this film and its impact, I knew that it must have been me just not in the right mood, or perhaps not yet patient enough for it, so I gave it another try in 2015, and I have to say I speak fluent Italian, but to this day, this film is my absolute favorite, everyone can easily relate to a character that's lost and doesn't know what to do, and that keeps reflecting on his whole life, his childhood, his relationship with women, with his parents, failure, success, letting go.... I'd really recommend you give it another go.

there is a period for everything, trust me! I love Fellini, Antonioni, Tarkovskiy, Bergman, Kurosawa... but at certain times they bore me and I don't look at them. You have to find the right moment, the right push and then discover the Artwork. Great directors are not for everyday

I think I’ve seen the first hour about 10 times. I kept trying and trying and kept falling asleep. I chalked it up to the fact that I’m American and maybe the subtitles became too much for my attention span. And then one day finally something clicked and the humor started to really jump out. The dream sequences started to become more poignant. It somehow became exciting and now I can say I actually love it, instead of half-lying to people with the “uhh yea I’ve seen it” routine. Persistence will pay off I promise

to me 8½ is one of the most emotionally rich films ever made, and it had me sobbing at the ending. it's definitely not for everyone but it hit me harder than most films.
