Goofs
|
Revealing mistakes: At the top of St. Peter's dome the wind blows Sylvia's hat off. The wire on her hat used to achieve this effect is clearly visible trailing off to the right during the scene. Continuity: The aircraft which brings Sylvia to Rome is an Alitalia Vickers Viscount as it comes in to land, but is both a Douglas DC-7C and DC-6B when it is on the ground. SYNC: The water in the Trevi Fountain continues flowing even after the sound of it has faded away, and only stops when the camera changes view. Continuity: When Marcello is typewriting in a restaurant on the beach and talking to the blonde young girl, the bar of the typewriter is centered on the machine. In the next take, it is displaced to the left of the typewriter. Revealing mistakes: When the two children see the Madonna, the time of day is stated as 7:00. However, the very short shadows of the characters reveal that it is midday. Revealing mistakes: In the castle, Marcello lights a match to view some ancestral paintings. A spotlight is used to enhance the light of this match, but does not follow the actor's movements very closely and gives the illusion away. |
Quotes
|
Marcello Rubini: You are the first woman on the first day of creation. You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home. Steiner: Don't be like me. Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional. Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected. Transvestite: By 1965 there'll be total depravity. How squalid everything will be. Marcello Rubini: [to Emma] A man who agrees to live like this is a finished man, he's nothing but a worm! I don't believe in your aggressive, sticky, maternal love! I don't want it, I have no use for it! This isn't love, it's brutalization! Steiner: We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should love each other outside of time... detached. |
