In Reply to: favorite scenes in movie history posted by nnjohn on October 12, 2002 at 20:21:52:
the concept of a greek tradegy on film. the basis of a tradegy as conceived by the early greeks was that a flaw in the personality, even a glitch, is going to play itself out in the demise of the person.la strada has three personalities whose flaws are their own demise. almost an extra scene in the end when the main character, if i remember, alone on the beach holds his fist up to the sky to curse the god(s) for what happened. really a perfect ending, a scene while i might not remember the exact details, is one that will always stick with me.
there are perhaps 3 other scenes in that movie that are special to me. i think fellini was one who was aware of the importance of great scenes, haunting scenes.
i think there are a couple of scenes in 'la dolce vita' that he tried to make them immemmorable scenes, but a recent viewing does not hold them of importance to me anymore. one was the water fountain scene where marcello mastrianni was besides himself with the beautiful, but distacted "american actress", and the other was a similar theme in marcello's walk up the staircases with her.
but his surreal scenes in the city's deserted streets are memmorable. don't remember which movie it was, but the character wanders into a black musician, a trumpet player, on the late city streets.hi movie 'variety lights' has some great scenes. a shot of some of the audiences after the beautiful girl joins the traveling troupe, are scenes that i truly treasure.
these are scenes that never leave the mind. really can never be forgotten.
