I love the representation in La Dolce Vita, Federico Fellini's most emblematic film, where the woman who is a "DIVA" stands out, a character that Anita Eckberg masterfully embodies, and the iconic image of the Trevi Fountain.
La Dolce Vita is one of the most outstanding films in the history of cinema.
It is a powerful film from 1960, but one that transcends time, because it is a metaphor full of images and symbols about the human condition.
The messages that this film leaves me are several, in relation to our human condition in any society in the world, which I mention below :
That everything that happens is personal and epochal. By the skeptical and ironic view, fundamentally critical and cynical in a philosophical sense. Of a world, our world @marivic10 made of contrasts and inequalities, of popular superstitions and self-destructive disbelief of frustrated and wealthy intellectuals who try to distract their boredom and nihilism in absurd and promiscuous amusements.
This movie tells a story whose common thread is that of a frustrated journalist and from the jealous woman lover to the boring aristocrat.
The most intimate part of the film tells about a Diva who does not believe in the future of humanity, nor in human redemption.
The relationship she has with her father, made of tenderness and disenchantment, and the discovery of the purity and innocent beauty of a young woman who becomes a Diva lover of la Dolce Vita.
One of the great achievements of this film is the world that is created on the Via Veneto, which existing in reality is a center of the nightlife and bohemia of the city.
It really is an exquisite and incomparable film for the noisy and orgiastic parties with its touch of mockery and irony and the scathing criticism of the excesses and vices in the enriched social groups, but of useless and wasted lives. Social groups that take advantage of the popular credulity of some societies with deep religious roots.
I think Marivic10, that life is inevitably precariousness and search, hence the need for hope that we all have individually and collectively.
The time to come is not written, and if it is, we do not know it. Avoiding or combating individual or collective hopelessness is fundamental in our personal and social life. The crisis as a generic expression of problems and conflicts, is the knowledge of life and history, but thanks to them, it is that each of us can move forward.
