La dolce vita

I watched Fellini's film "La Dolce Vita” and enjoyed its style and elegance. Although I chose this film completely by chance that night, the protagonist's choices (“I’m an entertainment journalist, but I'd like to be a writer, to write something deeper, to write books.”) again resonated with my own choices.

And the end, where he had become an advertising agent and also not-so-pleasant person, reminded me of the times I was working in the field of public relations - and in fact worked as a deterrent. I saw that my hometown had a job offer in marketing and because the city is dear to me, it was almost tempting. Although I didn't really want to work in marketing and fortunately a warning sign was immediately available as a reminder.

Magus elu

Vaatasin Fellini filmiklassikut “La Dolce Vita”, nautisin selle stiili ja elegantsi. Kuigi valisin selle filmi tolleks õhtuks täiesti juhuslikult, siis ikkagi resoneerus peategelase kulgemine teel “olen meelelahutusajakirjanik, aga tahaksin olla kirjanik, kirjutada midagi sügavamat, raamatuid” jällegi väga, tuletades meelde mu enda kunagisi valikuid.

Ja see lõpp, kus temast oli saanud reklaamiagent ja sellega koos ka mitte eriti meeldiv inimene, meenutas ühelt poolt mulle neid aegu, kui ma suhtekorralduse valdkonnas tegutsesin - ja tegelikult töötas ka hoiatava märgina, kohe pärast seda nägin, et kodulinn on teinud turundusspetsialisti ametikoha ja kuna linn on mulle armas, oli korraks peaaegu kiusatus. Ehkki ma ju tegelikult ei tahtnud ja õnneks oli hoiatav märk meeldetuletuseks kohe kohal.
