Sometimes you want to write up an impression and an opinion that you seem as vivid dreams are written in the early morning, before and for fear of forgetting ...
Yesterday I saw with my son, Road, shortly after going with the students where it is exposed to CaixaForum the exhibition dedicated to Fellini.
seat me, him lying on the sofas, we accompanied 'is woman, Gelsomina, suffering with her from home. My son complained, "I understand evil characters, but I can not stand a person like you .. ". Then at night I thought about it I
But who is this woman, Gelsomina?
The projection of male desire: purity, authenticity, giving of herself, ... Jasmine finds its place in the world in existing for man ("If you're not with us, those around us?" He tells the Angel).
not know how to cook, it is not pretty ("seems an artichoke" ... still a flower is, but who remembers?), Is lean, not even like making love. .. who wants ' is a woman? And what's the point 'is a woman? This is the girl-mother (the Virgin?) child-man, poor him, drunk, violent, that goes with women (there has them all, by golly!)
her, the woman dedicated to him, wide eyes of wonder, which reads the joy and sadness, two lacrimucie sometimes. The woman sold by her mother, mind you, his father's death, in order to have one mouth less to feed, house (it was not his mother's death, casting Cinderella in the arms of misfortune?)
Cos' this was his man by the name weird legs? A coat and a pair of shoes, a flat table and a place to sleep in the cold. Return them to him when he decides to run away ...
not receive help from no man. The Angel is so named, not because they face the tightrope walker, do not believe, but because it seems to have no sexual interest in the girl. Do not know why the Zampanò is not on the ball and if you ask (between humans ...). This fact will cost him nothing less than life. Gelsomina himself back from his exit from prison executioner. He is to make sense to stay with him, "If you're not with someone like him ..." The Angel is "crazy" because it is not a man like any other. It is cheerful, for example ...
The other women in the film: the mother, the nun, the girl in the bar, the women of the circus trying to help so ...
"He loved her," he says in the film. "La maté porque was mine", she heard once. For what he ... five years later! Back from its parts and ask her, and his end, and go to mourn their fate in the sand of the beach, drunk and fatally alone: \u200b\u200ban unfortunate, of course. A wretch who has only been able to cause pain and the disappearance of the Other, other.
Gelsomina's innocence: first sold / bought for little money, then raped, her wild with grief, silenced, killed, eliminated. Reduced her to cry like a little animal, deprived once and for all the other things that are nice, the good things it does: "I planted the tomatoes."
conclude: The road is not a film about two poor, the people of the circus, the poverty of the Italians of the fifties ... now we see it and live like a fairy tale sopprusi on the woman, especially if poor, if only in relation eterossessuale, agrees and undergoes.
knows the woman, Julia, Giuliettta, if it was happy to be the muse of a genius, this petite woman, looking a little boy, so far away from the fantasies of film director husband, these women enormous all ass and tits, ghosts devouring mother or prostitute ... Who knows, but what remains is Jasmine, who has suggested that these words and which surely would know so many girls today are so far away.
