8 1/2 is a terrible movie. Pretentious crap


Fellini is famous for sniffing his own farts but my god, this was something else. I like La Dolce Vita, Night of Cabiria, La Strada etc.

This was a joke. It was a self indulgent film, an exploration of self by someone who is quite frankly a totally mediocre irrelevancy.

How far does your head have to be stuck up your own ass and Fellini's ass to enjoy this "movie".

Jake, I love you buddy, but ya blew it.

Jake Gyllenhaal is the best Gyllenhaal.

Why man? Just giving my opinion. Frankly, Nightcrawler was better

reply

It's okay, I still love you. 😘

I agree, Nightcrawler stars Jake Jesushaal

Jake Gyllenhaal is the best Gyllenhaal.

It was supposed to be self-indulgent, ffs. It's practically a documentary on the making of 8 1/2!

I think it was "Let's see how stupid the audience is -- if they don't understand, they won't admit it, they'll just say 'how great'"!
