Listen, I'll give you two things.

One - you can write well. Hopefully with time, as you get more and broader experience, the content will also start making more sense.

Two - I applaud you for making that admission. Most pople would simply dodge the question.

But you are way too quick to judge someone of Fellini's stature based on your assuredly limited familiarity with his work. Fellini is too complex to be judged that way - he is like the life itself. You witnessed one day... there's plenty more to come. His art is broad and multi-faceted.

If someone quite familiar with his work said he disliked him, I would not have much issue with that. But based on one film only? And even that film in the context of still limited experience?

We are not talking about toppling the pre-conceived notions here, as that should ideally be done based on deep understanding.
