La Dolce Vita
In the film's opening sequence, a plaster statue of Christ, suspended by cables from a helicopter, flies past the ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct. The statue is being taken to the Pope at the Vatican. The delivery of the statue is the first of many recurring scenes placing religious icons in the midst of characters demonstrating their "modern" morality influenced by the booming economy and the emerging mass-consumer lifestyle.
Why i believe it is a work of art?
it ties with art because of the many scenes relating to religion. In Class we have been learning about the many works of DaVinci, such as the Last Supper with ties with the religion. This film starts being based with a statue of Christ and also mentions the corruption of religion. The Statue itself is a very important piece of art as well as the various Vatican Churches throughout the film, architecture is a very interesting piece of art.
