Death is the end of everyone. From birth to death, all the way. From young to old, step by step. When you look at the young life in your twilight years, and the kind of breath emanating from life, you will forget in a trance that you are already twilight.
It was the first time I saw Paolo Sorrentino's movie, and I didn't know much about him, but it was really good for this one. Hopefully, it's not too late for me to start understanding now.
The story takes place in a resort hotel in the Swiss Alps, and the story roughly takes place between Fred and his old friend Mick. Two elderly people discuss their life past and current troubles in a nursing home. Fred is a retired conductor and Mick is an outdated director. Fred felt like he had a quest, and Mick wanted to finish his last film. Fred was invited by the Queen to play his famous song "Ode to Jane". For various reasons, he didn't want to go to the show. This kind of thing has been bothering them. In the nursing home, many people are portrayed. Everyone has a different life, young or old, but they have all kinds of troubles. A character who has played many roles but is always mentioned, and few people remember what else he played. This really made him feel very frustrated. Here he lives in order to study his new role. The daughter of the first man, after cheating, has a scene of accusing her father in her depression. In short, it is the dissatisfaction with the father once to himself, to the mother, and to the family. After venting, I gradually re-understand myself and my life and pursuit. Find what you want. Miss Universe is really memorable. After all, there are certain things about being a man that immediately grab my attention. And here is the whole film can easily let us see the protagonist's desire and yearning for youth. That pool plus Miss World, as they say: don't you see, we're having the last good time of our lives? Regarding the other, it is more or less to promote the development of the plot and let us have a more three-dimensional and intuitive understanding of the film.
This is the general story. I would prefer to mention the landscape shots of the film. Youth is such a beautiful and quiet scenery throughout the film. I have to say that this choice is simply fantastic. Watching is looking at the scenery and appreciating art. This is not the kind of artificial jerky feeling. Elegant, beautiful picture with clear rhythm and plot. Give people a kind of living in this period, so that they have been pursuing the road of youth.
The film is also a means. The director wants to discuss the pursuit of youth, life, future, sex and career in such an environment and characters. On the top of the mountain, Mick told his assistant to look at the telescope and said: In the future, everything is very close. In the past, seeing everything was drifting away. Young and energetic, there are many things that I want to pursue, and it seems to be within my reach. When you are old, there are many things that are close at hand but hard to get. Just as energetic. Mixed sorrows and joys, regret the past, confused the future. Young people have the opportunity to explore, but old people have no chance to make up for it. Mick is like that. After he was denied, he had no hope for the future, and ended himself after being lost. Fred too, indulging in what he once was, refused to play the piece he said was for his wife. Maybe he owes his wife too much. After visiting his wife who he hadn't visited for many years, his remarks could be regarded as a solution to the grudge in his heart. Agreed to perform his famous repertoire. It is also an important step in the pursuit of their own way. It was as if he had returned to his youthful days. It is also a breakthrough for yourself.
Years flow forward like a river, and the body cannot stay, and the heart of the earth feels tender in the sun. Start to slowly recall the past, and even do not regret many things in the past. He left the other day, and he doesn't regret it.
