Aside from Victor making no sense thanks for the warning.BTW, Yes you can ignore Fellini's so called greatness if you don't like the film.
I say so called because good films manage to stay relevant to the public eye. Like oh well Raiders of the Lost Ark. Unlike ANYTHING Fellini has ever made. Put all opf his films together with total rentals and sales world wide and it wouldn't equal Spielberg's 5th best.
Movies don't need plots... Can you explain the dancing hookers...who were not all hookers so he doesn't totally get the film either? He puts the words beauty and emotion but of course he can't expalin it.
He's the equivalent of the cable touters. It makes a difference because I say so and offer no relevant facts that are remotely plausible to back it up. May as well sell aluminum siding and rust proof on cars.
I'm an English Lit major so I have read enough crapola of literary types who INVENT things in movies that simply are not there. The see what they want to see because of the prestige of the writer...just like believeing Monster Cable because they are the mighty Monster Cable.
At least Raiders is honest in its entertainment. It sure is a helluva lot more fun and re-watchable - of course DVD sales prove that.
