I totally agree with Rosalba with her decision to take a break from her household duites. Or should I say her believe that her intentions were right but maybe he actions were a bit immature. Based on the fact that her husband was cheating on her and her kids were pretty independent. I feel like alot  of times prents get so involved in there kids lifes that they put their dreams and their lifes on hold. The Fact is she was not appreciated and loved like most other mothers.  She didnt deserve it so she bounced, it was not fair to her. But after her trip she found true happiness.

For part of the film we followed Katerina through her adventure in the big city Rome. It was interesting to see how she had changed depending on the type of friends she had arond her. Either her Germano or the other girl I didnt have a feeling that Katherina was ever being herself at any point. She was trying to fit in but at the same time she endedup losing herself in the process. My question is, at the end of the movie did Katherina find a middle point between all her friends? Or was the fact she was returning home at the end of the movie for break means that she had finally found herself again and that she was going back to being her old self?

La Dolce Vita was a very interesting film. The first scene starts off with a helicopter transporting a huge Jesus Statue and another news helicopter that is reporting this event. The news helicopter gets side track when they spot a group of women sun bathing on the roof top of an apartment. At first I was very confused I thought this scene was kind of hypocritical " A Jesus statue then a roof top full of women in bikinies weird!!!" However in the end I guess it finally made since. The message they were trying to portray was Jesus with his hands out extending his grace and blessing over the slums of rome "very cool". Already you can start identifying religious themes and motifs that are going to be presented throughtout the film.  This movie explain the life of Marcello a journalist living in Rome in the late 1950's searching for a more meaningful and happier way of life. Marcello never actually finds true happiness and fufillment. What is true happiness and fufillment? What was Marcello really looking for? Some questions i would like to discuss. But on a personal note will I ever find true happiness? Or is fufillment be comfortable and acceptable with what you have and continue to live life day by day. Thats how I see it and  I could be very happy that way.
