Since we want to discuss youth, we must first talk about the definition of youth. The silent and naked men, women and children in the sanatorium have appeared many times. From the appearance, youth and aging are clear at a glance; but the same eyes or gait make people confused.
As for what is young and what is old, the old director Mick once asked a question. When looking at binoculars, he said that young people see everything close, while older people see everything far. It is far away because the elderly have experienced a long life, but they have experienced the most impressive things in the early stages of life, including first love, beloved actress, beautiful singing wife, admired musician, etc.; The relative scarcity of experiences, or the dilemma of aging, makes them more willing to look back.
Memory also brings prejudice, stubbornness, and even fear. No matter what they have experienced, what people can remember in the end can only be artificially selected fragments - "Tremendous effects with a modest result." With the accumulation of time, people gradually began to refuse to change their existing cognition. It is the fear of the unknown; however, the proof that people are alive, or the proof that they are still young, is passion and desire - as actor Jimmy said, fear or desire is a multiple choice question. Generally speaking, older people are prejudiced by thinking too much about the past, as conductor Fred described himself, "just a prejudiced old man"; but in fact this is not limited Physically older people. Jimmy is very concerned that others only remember that he played Mr Q, but he himself has a prejudice against Miss World - despite being young on the outside, he is decayed by prejudice on the inside, full of hesitation and fear of unknown roles and even life.
At this moment, a cynical little girl appeared. As a standard new generation who has never experienced anything, in addition to breaking the curse of Mr Q, she also clarified to Jimmy and the audience what it means to be young: nothing is ready, so there is no need to hold back.
Therefore, when the doctor finished examining the body of the elderly Fred and told him meaningfully that what was waiting for him outside the window was a sunny youth, Fred decided to give up some obsessions, decided to visit his demented wife, and decided to try Others came to sing his Simple Songs.
