La Dolce Vita
BackOne of my favorite scenes from La Dolce Vita. This is also my first upload, and I wasn't sure how to get the subtitles to transfer during the rip. But I think the beauty of this scene speaks for itself in some ways - the sounds, ambiance. Near the end the character Steiner gives one of the most most poetic monologues in film history. Hence my disappointment that the subtitles didn't work. I'll try again for subtitles soon.

E' un enorme piacere raccontare il cinema italiano attraverso questi film. Vivo a Helsinki e ieri ho avuto l'onore di parlare di Fellini in una conferenza, presentando i suoi film più belli. E dalla "Dolce Vita" ho mostrato proprio il clip del monologo finale di Steiner. Sono lieto che anche voi lo consideriate un momento di grande cinema in un film che è e rimarrà ineguagliabile. Grazie Maestro!!!

beware, the intellect should always come in a close second

I dismiss your simple, pop psychology interpretation--and would only expect frivolous contentiousness from someone who decided to name themselves "insolence."
But perhaps you DO know something regarding the father character, if you see him as central. So allow me to ask for your opinion: What is your view on the "sudden illness" of the father after going home with the chorus girl? Was there an illness; what was it; or what happened to the father that the mood changed so much?

You attack me but then ask me to do your homework?
My refined and brilliant perspectives on cinema will never reconcile with your stomach-film-reactions.
Marcello was given the option to change, symbolized in the girl that calls for him at the end, but he chose to rejoin his "friends", as dead and putrid as the whale that makes them laugh.
I'm sure my comments filled your emptiness at least for a few hours. You should consider yourself very lucky.

I interpret the ending differently; his inability to even RECOGNIZE the girl (or comprehend what she's trying to communicate) demonstrates that he is so far from redemption that he can't even recognize its possibility.
I'll assume you have no answer to my question. No surprise.
My understanding of La Dolce Vita is perfect --and surpasses that of most who analyze such things. Not a brag, it just happens to be that I'm psychically in sync with Felinni on, at least, his earlier movies.

Mr. PERFECT,
I imagine you spend your existence listening to Chopin, reading Dostoyevsky and watching La Dolce Vita.
What I cannot imagine is why you, a self-proclaimed Fellini-Connoisseur, would care for my opinion?
The health of the father is an element that was employed by Fellini to raise the stakes and transition into the core of the father-son relationship, as simple as that.
What else do you want me to comment upon? The clown from La Strada? The end of La notti di Cabiria?

You're right, asking your opinion is pointless beyond imagination. That you see the brief (and inconsequential) "illness" scene as "raising the stakes" demonstrates you have nothing to say on the issue.
The inclusion of the father character (similar in all respects to Fellini's own father) is nothing but a "personal byproduct" of his own--and plays no key part, beyond merely fitting the overall tone.
Thanks for your comments. No more are required.
