I Vitelloni

Description

I Vitelloni is a 1953 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini. The film follows the lives of five young men in a small seaside town in Italy who are struggling to find their place in the world. The title "I Vitelloni" refers to the Italian term for "big calves" and is used to describe young men who are seen as aimless and lazy.

The film explores the themes of youth, maturity, and the transition to adulthood. The five main characters are all in their twenties and are dealing with various personal and societal pressures to grow up and take responsibility for their lives. The film is also a commentary on Italian society at the time, which was experiencing a post-war economic boom but was still struggling with traditional values and gender roles.

Overall, I Vitelloni is a poignant and humorous portrayal of the struggles of youth and the challenges of growing up. The film's themes of maturation and societal pressures are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of Italian cinema. Fellini's masterful direction and the outstanding performances by the cast make I Vitelloni a must-see for fans of classic cinema.

Before the Jackass 3D film begins, there is a brief introduction involving Beavis and Butt-head, where there is a reference to the 3D technology used in the film. The opening sequence shows all of the cast while they are hit by various objects in slow motion. As most of the stunts in the film were filmed with a camcorder Panthom on a very high speed (1000 frames per second) there is lots of the must-see moments. Jackass 3D, like its predecessors (Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 2.5), has no real plot. It's just a continuation, the most dangerous stunt performed by the characters and jokes are taken from the MTV's Jackass TV series. Among the numbers in the dangerous stunts there is a tether ball, played with a hive full of bees African, a tooth being extracted with a Lamborghini, the use of a special glue to rip off the hairs from the chest and much more. The final stunt showcases Steve-O launched inside a portable toilet using the banjo jumping ropes. The final sequence was made with a technique quite similar to the starting one, but in this case the viewer relates a series of explosions in slow motion and at the end of it, a flood is simulated with the cast that is completely submerged. Just as in the last two films, Rip Taylor makes announcing the end of the film before you see the credits. During the end credits there are some MTV series' scenes TV show are shown accompanying with the old photographs of the cast. Everything ends up with cast members singing Memories, an official single from the Jackass 3D movie.
