Sometimes I ask myself that, but I don't think so. But it does not affect my reading of good literary works, watching good films, listening to music, and playing the piano, not because of poetry and distance, but to digest negative emotions in work and trivial life. For living.
What will I be like when I grow old. Retardation, forgetfulness, dementia, and incontinence are probably certain. In the world I know, the elderly are grey and have no voice.
What does it look like when two artists are old: the old man who can't urinate is talking about a few drops of urine today, he moves slowly and leans on a cane, he talks about the past and doesn't care, his children have strong opinions and they can't argue, and they live in a boring hot spring villa , Do a full-body physical examination, and open the back with essential oils every day. Slow, quiet, clean, and lifeless, villa living is the perfect metaphor for old age.
But this film is about aging, but also about despair, and in the end this film is soulful and deeply humorous.
An old conductor (musician), an old director, and an old football star (allusion to a fat Ronaldo) are in the hot spring resort. They still have a reputation, they still have followers. Pulling the little boy of "simple song", looking for a fan who signed a fat autograph, and an energetic young actor who followed the old director. Even supermodels and young and middle-aged actors who come on vacation adore them.
What the two old men are happy to do is mocking, mocking and being sought after, mocking for being flagged, mocking young people's rush for fame, mocking their own useless bodies, and mocking bad performances.
They talked about love and said they knew every detail of love. But the plot slapped the face, and I think it's a strong sense of joy. The old man AB is in-law, and the children are married. When I was a child, I chased the same girl and had a revolutionary friendship.
Old man B said, I understand every detail of love, you see the sleeping faces of the young actors, they are in love, but they don't know it.
The old man A said helplessly to his daughter, as if he knew the urine of every man. The stinky boy said that he broke up with you because he said that his new love was doing great in bed.
However, the funny thing is that the old director, who claims to know every detail of love, is furious at his cheating son and cannot understand it. Can only accept the reason of bed technology.
The two old men mocked the IQ of the young supermodel, but they still dream of her young and beautiful body, and their desires are honest. She will still show an evil smile in the hot spring and appreciate the last spring in her life.
After the old musician told his daughter the unspeakable reason, the daughter finally smiled and told her that the derailment was not because of her bed skills, but because her bed skills were also good.
And the mystery buried at the beginning of the movie is why the old musician insisted not to play "simple song" again. The answer to the mystery is that his lifelong soprano wife has been unable to sing, but he has never been to Venice to see her in the past ten years, and there are many indifferences and contradictions in their common life.
Yes, we have never fully understood love. Even waiting to grow old, we have never understood affection. When we don't even remember whether we have slept with this girl, we have never and will not fully understand love.
Regarding ideals, in this part, I think the two old men are essentially the same but complete themselves in the same way.
The director's lifelong dream is naturally to make movies until his death, but talent is no longer without investment, and livelihood is a cruel obstacle. What you think of as a masterpiece or a posthumous work is often not the best work of the artist or even very bad. The actress who made him famous said: The investment is because of me, and your script is useless, it sounds cruel. But those are the rules of reality. On the beautiful grassy slopes of the Alps, the classic characters created by him appear one after another. This is a kind of trance moment looking back on life. In the end, he died silently, even talking to his friends before the moment he jumped off the balcony.
The old friend didn't seem to be so surprised by this, just sad. As an artist whose artistic life is also depleted, he is the one who can best understand the feelings of his old friend. He did not die, but his artistic life has already died. He ended up playing "simple song" for himself and for his wife.
People may still have an epiphany when they are 90 years old, and there is no stopping moment, whether it is love, ideals, or family. I think this is the best way to fight aging. Why pretend to be old and be a forever child.
