Title: still magnificent
Product review: I remember seeing this movie when it first came out, in fact it was the first movie I went to see more than once. For some reason it resonated with me then as much as now. I recently watched it again, and found the scene at Steiner's apartment to be quite fascinating. Here we have a man who is hemmed in by the walls of society, and the way for him to experience nature is by making audo tapes of the sounds of rain, storms,and other facets of creation. Then he can play them back in the safety of his apartment, apparently unable to just enjoy the outdoors in all its beauty. He is afraid of the future, and can't break away from society and its walls. Perhaps that is why he is attracted to Marcello's character, who just floats freely about, apparently without a worry.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
