Fellini Satyricon

This movie is such a strange movie that I still cannot figure out if I liked it or not.  My first thoughts were, “Great, I’m going to have to read the subtitles” and after the first couple of scenes I though that having the subtitles would help me out in understanding what was going on better in the movie but it didn’t.  I read parts of the novel and I still do not know what it is about.  But one thing that it managed to do was keep me entertained.  I may not have known what was going on but because I did not know what was going on and was trying to figure it out, I kept watching it in hopes that at the end something would be explained and I would understand it.  Once I got towards the end of the movie and nothing had been explained I was disappointed because I felt that the short fragments of the storyline that were portrayed could have been really good if it was not in pieces.  I understand that the novel is in fragments as well but I was and still am so confused and then the ending did not finish.  I am so curious to know what happened and want to know what I am missing.  That is why I am left wondering if I like this movie or not because I want to know what happened in the missing part of the story and I really want to know how it ends. Overall I think it was a funny weird movie that could have probably been funnier had it not been so fragmented.  I thought the characters were weird and very girly which I am not used to seeing in movies.  Most of these characters were so feminine and the females were very strange.  After watching this movie I just stared at the ceiling of my room and tried to understand what I had just watched.  It is not a normal movie but if anyone is into strange movies then that might be a good one to see but I tried to find the storyline and when I thought I had found it, it changed and I don’t know. That is my thoughts in this movie I simply do not know.
