The Chinese translation of the movie is better than the English translation. The Chinese translation highlights a "qi" character on the basis of youth, which is the essence of the movie. Everyone is young, but in these 80+ old artists, we can still see their vigor when they were young: Fred dared to refuse the queen's invitation, Mick jumped out of the window after quarreling with the queen actress and ended his life .
Contrary to the old artists, the young people who appear in the film—young actors, Fred’s daughter, massage girls, prostitutes, young screenwriters, etc., although they are in their youth, can’t see the “spirit” of youth: The young actor played the role of a robot mechanically and could not find the feeling of Hitler. Fred's daughter didn't understand her boyfriend's needs. Eyes, young screenwriters who don't know how to write a script. Compared with the old artists, these young people are confused, and they can't see the youthful spirit at all.
In the process of interacting with the old artists, young people gradually began to realize the feeling of "qi": young actors finally understand that to play Hitler, they need to explore their inner desires instead of mechanically feeling anger; Fred's daughter no longer resents Father and husband, but boldly pursue their inner desires, even if that person is an old and ugly mountain climber; even if he is ridiculed by young screenwriters for his passion, the old man still encourages the young creative team to persist even if there are no old female stars Make the movie; the two old people are also infecting massage girls and prostitutes in their own way. The difference between this turning point in the movie is when the qi of the Tibetan lama rises!
What is impressive is that among all the young people, only Miss Universe has a youthful "spirit": even though she is ridiculed by young actors and only participates in reality shows, she still does not change her dream of being an actor; Not afraid to show her proud body in front of the old man, she was so confident at that moment. The two old people greedily admired the young and energetic Miss Universe, because the young people around them had no youthful spirit, and when they saw this naked woman in the swimming pool, they seemed to return to their youthful state, the movie At this moment, the "qi" fields of the two old people and the young Miss Universe are similar, and the "qi" of the old people and the young people finally merged together. This may also be the reason why the director chose to use this scene as a movie poster.
The irony is that the "qi" of the old people when they are young will be vividly reflected even in old age, but the young people of this era choose to keep that spirit deep in their hearts. Young people need the guidance of someone who has come over. In the movie, Mick explained the difference between the future and the past through the lens of the mountain. people, it just shows that they do not have that youthful spirit in their hearts).
What the film wants to express is that for young people, to dare to pursue the inner youthful "qi", which requires you to explore your true inner desires and pursue them boldly. When you are old, look back on your life, you will not destroy yourself because of this "qi", but use it to miss the beauty of youth, and you will not feel remorse because of your brave pursuit back then.
