A little about Mr.ALLEN & Mr.FELLINI

In Albert Einstein’s world, “gravity is not responsible for people falling in love”, in ours we value gravity for everything, even the scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, USA who are trying to break free of the bonds of this planet respect it like God, but though this statement seems humorous, somewhat odd, it speaks of everything that is to be human.

Gravity though behind everything that holds us to this world, holds us to the sun, then to the galaxy, then the cosmos, in Einstein’s worlds there are things beyond this rational observation, things beyond mere perception, mere intellectualism, things that are instinctive, things that are simple, things like love.

Oddly enough this statement encapsulates in great strength what Woody Allen’s and Federico Fellini’s films speak of and how through the many complexities, dreams, and fantasies, simple life leaps out through the portals of dementia.

In many cases, such states of dementia are intellectual, self glorifying, self deprecating, sometimes selfish, sometimes noble, but generally childish; however the films of Fellini and Woody Allen show the simple naked world that is life which is “love” according to Einstein always breaking through these states of dementia which we have told ourselves to be the only truth.

Through my analysis of Woody Allen’s and Federico Fellini’s films I have tried to show how these two masters of cinema have through the ages shown the world what they think is the truest nature of humanity, how the media have perceived it and in the end how the common man has perceived their films.

Through Woody Allen’s films we shall see the social aspect of life. How the social human functions, how the media plays a role in filtering information through to the people and how we as humans in the social world perceive things in much more simplistic terms than what we began with; where intellectualism in the end loses out when challenged by the naked things.

Finally, through Fellini’s films we get to see the metaphysical aspect of humanity, where we are just playing a part in a grand circus and look at things that lie beyond the real.

Through this paper I have tried to arrive at a conclusion on actually what aspects of ourselves makes us human, how media has been a bridge from the beginning of human civilization in communicating ideals, concepts and emotions, and thus, in the shorter scale through this analysis of the films of two great masters of cinema come to a conclusion what actually is to be human.
