best life

It took me nearly two months to watch this movie off and on. It's a bit like watching a TV series. In the middle, I experienced the crash of the ultrabook, reproducing the copy, changing the computer, the computer not working and so on. I finally finished it, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Six hours is too long, and many people don't have the patience. If you were willing to settle down and enjoy it for six hours, you would have at least achieved peace of mind. Once a person's heart is quiet, he will think of many things and be able to think quietly, and these six hours require you to do this.

In six hours, the youth of a generation is condensed. When you finally follow Madio and Nicolas from teenage to old age, you'll feel that six hours is really not a long time. It is used to express the youth of a generation. It is really condensed and can no longer be condensed. Therefore, every shot, every sentence, every look, is meaningful, and it is not wasted or superfluous.

Maybe, you have to correct me, Madio has left this world on that fireworks New Year's Eve, he has no old age, but I prefer to believe that he still exists in some form, just like the back in the film Again, he just walked away. He silently put his arms around the shoulders of the two he loved. He couldn't speak, and he was even lacking in expression. However, he was still in his life, but his life was fixed on the one who silently spit out "Happy New Year". In time, he made this film, and it also showed the passing of a generation of youth.

The turbulent sixties.

The person most like Madio turned out to be the sister-in-law who fought him the most. Julia is another metaphor for life. Many people have lost their youth and ruined their ideals, and they have become Julia with sunglasses. Even if the person they love the most asks to "play me a song", they will refuse. In their hearts, they have been rejected by society for too long, and their ideals have been shattered. Even if the sun shines, it is difficult to melt the ice in their hearts. "Red Brigade" is just an exit, young people like Julia, who have been suffering for too long, but can't find an exit. Sora shouted "progress", but did not find a fundamental solution. In the end, it is out of tune with this society and becomes a kind of alien. Compared to her, Madio is wonderful. Even though Madio has long been a marginal person who can only find solace in books, he has never fought violently against this society in a way that hurts others. Madio searched inward, but did not understand it, so he chose immortality; Julia asked outward, but also did not understand, so she finally chose Madio's solution - bury her head in the book. We can't judge how vicious Julia is, with no good intentions in her heart. She just walked to the whirlpool in the dark river of youth and couldn't extricate herself. Julia and Madio are equally talented, proud and ideal people. After watching the movie, you may not be able to help but ask, why is this happening?

Youth has hidden wounds, but maybe you float through, maybe you will be involved in a torrent. Those who are not soft enough are probably more likely to be swept away.

Madio and Julia are the other side of youth, and the other side is Nicola, the beautiful Nicola.

He is mellow, patient, and kind. He has done what his brother Madio couldn't do. He also worked hard for his ideals to make this society better, but his passion is only temporary, and he understands the power of time.

After watching the movie, I realized that at first the book in Zuozhen's hand actually drew Madio. Some faint sadness, youth, how much love is unspeakable, once seen, it means hurt? Madio knows the art of rejection better than Nicola, and he has been in rejection and rejection all his life. You may also ask, why do you have to do this, why do you have to commit suicide? Why do you have to fight with your family? However, Madio is Madio. His beauty is precisely because he cannot be understood by you, and it is precisely because of this that he is so real.

Maybe we all loved Nikolai in the last movie, but we don't know why. When the movie ended, the one I remembered the most was Madio, who was almost invisible in the second half.

My computer got stuck on the part where Madio was watching TV, because after watching that episode over and over (the player got stuck), I later found out that Madio was really gay. From the look on his face watching the erotic dance on TV, his attitude towards prostitutes as a young man and his eyes on Nikolai at the ball - that's just my opinion, of course. Why did Nicola call herself "Nikola" when she met Melally? Perhaps, in Madio's heart, his brother is the perfect spokesperson, unlike himself, who has so many unspeakable pains in his heart. Madio has never shown enthusiasm or patience with women in his life. Some people think that saving Zuozhen means that he falls in love with Zuozhen, but I feel that this is just the rule of right and wrong in Madio's heart. On the other hand, Nikolay seemed to be really moved by Zoe, and he had been thinking about helping Zoe for many years, and he did it. In the end, Zuozhen's return to society may be her true calling to Madio, but the more reason is Nikolai's efforts. I even guessed that in the two phone calls to Melalie, Madio actually wanted to let go of his heart and open his heart to a person. Maybe he wanted to tell Melalie that he did not love women, in his heart , the most perfect person is his brother - this doesn't mean that he loves Nikolai, but he can't love women either.

With his leap, everything turned into a mystery. The mysterious Madio, many years later, Nicola introduced him to his son Anzu, but he was also vague. Between people, it is not enough to just love each other. Even hugs may not be able to understand each other's heart. This is probably common to all humans.
