In Reply to: "Amarcord:" A beautiful beginning, what with those posted by tinear on March 19, 2004 at 18:50:45:
there is no equalty between stream of consciousness and shapless abstract. Fellini plays with the viewer, and by exposing his own emotins he stimulates those in the spectator.While there is certainly a plan to the progress of the film, it is the imagery and its connection to the world, to the music that makes them so mesmerizing.
Each small episode is profound and deep. Recall the dancing prostitute in 8 1/2 - world of beauty and emotion.
Some will complain about lack of an identifiable plot - my answer is to look elsewhere. There are tons of films with plots.
Fellini is not supposed to be like the others, usually lesser, artists, he is Fellini and if you don't like him then you don't like him, but one would be foolish to deny his greatness.
Jesus, I heard people state they hate Beethoven, so I am hardly ever surprised any more.
Going back to Amarcord - not his best film, but still an interesting study. One just shouldn't come to it looking for Raiders of Lost Ark, or something.
So no, he is not abstract, he is very real and poignant.
