A narrative about old age, but not firewood, rice, oil, salt, wife and children. Even if the habit of dancing can be maintained until the age of 65, the loneliness after the crowd will not be absent once.
We may not be worthy of the arrogance and lewdness of a 65-year-old socialite, but we also don't want to be as melancholy as he is, unable to resolve the illusory prosperity. It's just that all bad things, slowly losing everything, and finally death, will come to each of us mortals.
Jepp learned to deal with hypocrisy in the first half of his life. When he was 65 years old, his confidence grew, and he set a flag that he didn't want to do things he didn't like, and said things he didn't want to say.
At this time, sitting by the bedside of your friend, you can take a puff of smoke and say lightly: The woman you like is not good-looking, and then turn around and leave; I don’t want to listen to the bragging in the upper-class social circle anymore. Accompanying each other and taking care of each other, all they can do is make jokes with each other; even seeing a talented child crying while performing, it just feels contrived: she has made a lot of money.
The sharp sword that pierces hypocrisy is unfortunately mean.
The shots of "The Beautiful City" don't stop at these desperate moments. Beyond the bustling nothingness, across the noisy crowd, penetrating the repressed ceiling and the city wall of memory, he used his 65-year-old residual anger to cherish the face of his dead first love, the face blown by the sea breeze, fell in love with a seriously ill stripper, and was grateful to the dwarf. The care of the boss, the teacher and the friend. Even as we all live on the brink of despair, the river of life continues to flow.
The movie is like a grand style painting of the Venetian school, the landscape is charming and deep, and the crowd is full of people. I like the shots of Sorrentino over people’s shoulders, balconies and even city walls, as well as the buildings, rivers and even flowers, birds and plants that naturally walk into the paintings. Everything is gorgeous and illusory near, clear and real from a distance, taking us to see in space and time. In the flow of life, those who are embarrassed but tenacious.
