The story returns to a small town by the Adriatic Sea in the 1930s, where Mussolini's extreme right ideals remain a guiding doctrine. The boy grows up with his construction worker father, housewife mother, lazy uncle, and mischievous younger brother, navigating between Catholicism, fascism, and Italian traditional family values. Pranks on teachers in the classroom, confessions about masturbation in the church, lively wedding feasts by the seaside—Fellini casually selects slices of small-town life and anecdotes, weaving a rich web of memories that reflects both the tide of the times and personal recollections. 　　Fellini once said, "The record a person can make is always, and can only be, a record of himself." "Amarcord" is not only acclaimed as a representative work of his personal realistic style but is also considered one of his most important autobiographical pieces. The film leads the audience into Fellini's childhood, allowing us to see the source of his innocent, sincere, and humorous emotions. In depicting the social context of the era, it transcends purely objective, historical observation, starting from the most fundamental details of life to authentically replicate the appearance of fascism in Italy before and after World War II. 　　Interestingly, in "Amarcord," we can clearly see Fellini's contemplation and fascination with female imagery. The Trinity of the Virgin Mary, the virtuous woman, and the whore presents a stark contrast between mother and prostitute, while the recurring depiction of voluptuous, large female bodies in Fellini's works serves as both a source of nurturing motherhood and the beginning of youthful sexual awakening.
