The film is called "Youth and Vigorous", and its main actors are two old men who are recuperating in a sanatorium. They are both well-known conductors and directors in their later years. Pace, the green and comfortable landscape makes every minute of the film slow and soft like a cloud, and in this rhythm, Paul Sorrentino once again leads us to explore a life .

Italian director Paolo Sorrentino was once famous in the film and art circles for his "City of Absolute Beauty". This time,
although the framing of "Youth" abandoned the grandeur of "City of Absolute Beauty", he chose to the tranquil and remote Netherlands, but to a certain extent it still cannot get rid of another sanatorium-related film, Fellini's classic "Eight and a half".
Some people say that "Youth" is the sister chapter of "Eight and a Half". It is not difficult to see that many of the imaging techniques of "Youth" are borrowed from "Eight and a Half", such as the frequently appearing track shots and scheduling, but in fact these two There is no comparison between them. "Eight and a half" is an epic classic in the film circle. Many shooting methods and scheduling skills are still unknown, while "Youth" continues Paul's unique opera style, with its precise The blending of video, postmodernism and impressionism has become another master classic that has influenced the entire European and even global film circles.

The soundtrack of "Youth" has a very interesting feature. It plays in every gap of the film, almost becoming a chapter-like separation in the film. This is why I can divide the film into several segments and watch it. Reason, it's like a book with chapters but no deliberate divisions. As the plot progresses, the performance on the stage brings a slow pause, such as empty breathing, allowing everyone to find their own place between light and shadow.
The simple song that runs through the whole play is actually composed by the famous composer David Long, including interludes and soundtracks. He uses a special way to collect opinions from the public, fetching the ideal songs of the public in Google search, and editing them one by one, and the singer is reenacted and interspersed in the story, thus sublimating the whole film.

In the film, the refinement and philosophy of the lines are also a highlight. The most impressive thing is what Mick said to others during the filming of his "posthumous work":
"this is what you see when you're young everything
seems really close .
It seems to be within reach
that's the future
has a future
and that's what you see when you are old, everything seems really far away. That's the past but when you are old , everything
feels out of reach because it has passed away."
senescence. Life is an eternal topic. When you are young, life is like a green and endless grassland. When you are old, life is a lush forest.
Fred’s conversation with many people took place on the grassland. They talked as they walked, talked about love and life in the silence and sunshine, revived ideals, and recalled the past. From my humble perspective, the twilight years of life are like youth. The reflection of vigor, the sadness of the old is often silent and sacred. Quiet forbearance and the wrinkles on the forehead coexist. After the vicissitudes of life, it is the way to regain youth. The clearing of memory and the stubbornness of children follow one after another. On the grassland that symbolizes youth, I see wisdom and sadness blowing like a gust of wind. Gray hair in old age.
This film wants to express a lot of things. Every character has a vigorous vitality and a desire to express. The young masseuse in the nursing home, the supermodel showing off his body sexy, the old Maradona playing the tennis court. Hitler's popular actor, the monk floating in the air, the prostitute with glasses, the actress Brenda, so many characters, they just describe a corner and silhouette in life, scattered and flashing back and forth, but But I remember them one by one. This is the unique charm of the master when he tells the story.
There was a scene in the film that shocked me very much. When Mick was walking home alone after sending off his choreographer and director team, the actresses he once made famous appeared on the Banpo grass like a hallucination and told him. Repeating their respective classic movements and lines, this is his work, his achievements, his aspirations, his emotions, as Mick said, "people, artists, animals, plants, we are all The ephemeral extra in this world."
His life and emotion are tightly bound, the dogma of his art, and his muse, so when he's done saying, "You say the role of emotion is overrated, That's your fault, emotion is all we have." After walking slowly across the room and jumping off the balcony, what we see is a paranoid and melancholy romance.
The cognition that people have traveled for a lifetime is contained in his soul, and the choices that people make that we cannot understand or understand are unique to them, their perception of the outside world and their inner cry. Whether it is literature, music, or movies, the body's bearing on art is fragile after all. We embrace emotions throughout our lives, from infancy to the grave. Emotions belong to the soul, beyond words and silence in the heart. The noblest aspirations among the arts.
Life is born to death, death is to life, young in the twilight, old in the morning light, what is the meaning of life to you? Please feel with your soul.
