Madio in self exile

Towards the end of the film, Nikolai and Melina walked side by side on the road in the fields, each thinking about their own thoughts and being silent, Madio suddenly appeared head-on, passed Melina, and turned around not far behind them. He put his arms around their shoulders, and walked them for a while, then stopped and watched for a while, then turned and walked away, when his figure was blurred to the point of being invisible, Nikolai and Melina embraced and kissed, surrounded by The vegetation is green and the sun is shining... This is the epitome of Madio's life.
He loves Melina, but passes her by. He hopes that Nikolai and Melina will be happy together, while he is alone. He is like this to all people, he is to the whole world, love but pass by, I hope all people are happy but one person goes to loneliness. He did not insist on not letting Zoe go to buy ice cream, and finally watched Zoe being taken away by the police; he drove to Turin to visit Zoe, and when passing through Rome, he watched his mother pass by with his frail father through the car window , and then received news of his father's death after he arrived in Turin; after he moved to Rome, his sister went to his residence to look for him, the brothers and sisters quarreled, and the sister left in anger, looking at the sister who was going down the stairs, he just Standing in the corridor begging his sister not to leave; until the end of his life, he called Melina for the last time, if he hung up even one second later, if he called again, the end of his life would definitely not be like this.
Such a life, without a doubt, must be a tragedy. So, I don't agree with the director's evaluation of the whole story, Madio's life is by no means splendid, although as a continuation of Madio - Anzu agrees with his uncle Nicola's statement when he was young, "Everything in front of me is beautiful! !!" Although Nikolai, who was no longer young after the world, removed the three exclamation marks, I still disagreed. Things aren't always good. No matter how deliberately the director continues Madio's life, through Melina's photos, through Zuozhen's departure, through Anzu, to prove his point of view - life is splendid, but in vain, because that handsome, lonely , The kind and impulsive Madio has literally turned over from the balcony and is no longer in this world, and he left precisely because he felt that the world was not beautiful.
Madio's life tragedy, except for some good luck, largely stems from his self-imposed exile. He banished himself in his room, when there was no one in the library, in stacks of books, in prostitutes, in military police discipline, and finally, in the New Year's toast, Under the night sky full of bright fireworks, exile yourself into the endless darkness.
Madio never learned how to get along with the whole world in his life. He longed for love and warmth, and also longed to give love and warmth to others, but he never knew how to get and give. He was hindered by his inferiority complex. Move away from the crowd little by little until you are completely gone.
