"Beautiful light, wild and impermanent", Reivew on The Great Beauty

A bit scattered, but looking for the core thing in the silence. I'll give it a 9. For people, the core thing is always the meaning of life and death. The film continues to present this theme in a rambling tone, while trying to find an answer. What is not lacking here is all kinds of material of death, aging, and confusion. Like a leaf that eventually falls to dust, and its graceful spiral on its way is the meaning of life. This world is beautiful, maybe we can stop talking about a little bit of things, but all this is not so important, maybe only life itself is important.

An excerpt from the film's final monologue: "Usually the end of things is death, but first there is life. And many of them, I can't say enough... In fact, everything settles in glitz. Silence is emotion. Just as love is also fear. A beautiful light, wild and impermanent. Those hard, tragic and painful lives are buried under the embarrassment of being born as a human being. I don't care about flashiness, so that's where the novel begins. And in the end, it's just a trick. Yes, it's a trick."

One might ask, why do we have to die when it's so beautiful to be born in this world? In fact, the beauty of this life is enough, why bother about death and pain?
