Big people have their own frustrations, but little people have their own philosophies

The lines of the film are wonderful, the echoes are ingenious, and there are many metaphors, about emotions and life.

Interestingly, the bigwigs have their own "frustration" - Fred has been guilty of his wife and daughter because of his romantic past; Mick has been betrayed by the heroine after completing his posthumous work; Tree is trapped in the public impression of Mr. Q; Radona needs oxygen for short swims.
But the little people have their own philosophies of life - Miss Universe sees through the fear behind Tree's arrogance; masseuses focus on feeling everything with touch; lamas ignore the world and only focus on practice; prostitutes make enough money to leave and start a new life.

It seems to be the contrast between the big and the small, but it is actually an interpretation of the film's theme of "youthful spirit" - the most important difference between young and not is the state of mind - when you are young, everything is close, that is the future; when you are old, everything is seen. It's far away, that's the past.

It is also the re-observation and thinking of young people to make them live again: Fred was born for music, Mick died because of movies, Tree settled his heart and chose his desires, and Lena climbed to bury old feelings - young people regain their love and dreams, and old people face it face to face A bleak life - there is a vague sense of cloud map.

The violin and a few songs are great, especially the fingertip rubbing of the strings when changing guitars, which is an unintentional finishing touch.

The photography is amazing, the swivel shots discussing the end credits, the pitch shots of the lama flying into the air, the shot of Miss Universe walking into the pool, the escalating shots of rock climbing...the list goes on and on.
