no if

When Mario quarrelled with dissenting teachers during exams and took Georgia, who had been electrocuted from a mental hospital, I thought Mario was a simple, beautiful and admirable male protagonist. When Nikolai chose to travel to Norway alone, roaming for work, and following Julian to Turin, I thought Nikolai was a man who was firm and reliable.

On the other hand, they are just one of the ordinary people.

At the end of the second paragraph, Mario jumped off the building and committed suicide, which made me stunned and burst into tears. I hoped that the third paragraph would be reversed and resurrected at the beginning, but I also knew that there would be no such a scene. Mario's mother, sister, sister, Nicola's grief, especially her mother, is heartbreaking, and the grief is so clear now. Mario, why don't you stop by the old parents' tickets? Why did Mirella go to an appointment but turn around and run away?

The person who wrote this story, the person who directed this story, must have such a rich heart.

After Mario's death, seeing Nikolai regretting seeing Julian and Mario leaving without stopping, I think Nikolai is the real protagonist. two favorites. He said, "I have always advocated freedom and believed that everyone should live the way they want," so he let go of Julian and Mario, and also believed that so-called patients such as Georgia could also live as normal people. Nicola has been growing up, taking life steadily and gently.

At the end, Mario Mirella's son took his girlfriend to Norway, North Cape, and stood at the travel destination his father and uncle planned when they were young, enjoying youth, love, and a simple life. I think if Mario hadn't met Georgia at the time, maybe he and Nicola would appreciate North Point the same way, looking to the future, Mario wouldn't have gone into military service because he couldn't save Georgia, and Nicola might not have chosen psychiatry. Will they have a life like Mario's son? But maybe never, Mario didn't change himself just because of Georgia.

Interested in Italy in the second half of the last century.

    The dividing line between upper and lower should be set when Madio jumped off the building. Nicola believed in freedom, respected everyone's personal wishes, and reconciled with peace; later realized that not all interventions are threats to others, not all Everyone can achieve self-satisfaction without relying on others. When he realizes the truth behind what his father said, "Go tell her and tell her to play the piano for you", his younger brother is dead and his family is in ruins. Madio's character creation is very real, and creating a character that can make the audience question a character's actions is to respect the character itself and reflect the creator's self-confidence.

    At the end, when the male protagonist's nephew was hiking in Norway, there was a flash of a scene of walking through a tree with intertwined roots. There was a church next to the tree that reminded me many years ago that I walked with my first girlfriend in a village in China. The scene of the church was changed to a private house. Then I went to Europe to play by myself. Before she said she wanted to go with me for a few months, I would never see her again.

The Best of Youth quotes

  • Andrea Utano: I watch the midnight sun sink towards the horizon, then it stops and doesn't enter the sea. I think of my father, mother, and you, how you've always said that everything is beautiful. I think you were right. Everything is truly beautiful.

  • Giovanna Carati: Look, but do you know that I still have a postcard you sent me from the North Cape, in '66, in Norwegian? I think it had an inscription. And under the translation it said: "Everything that exists is beautiful!", With three exclamation points... but do you still believe it?

    Nicola Carati: No, I don't believe in exclamation points anymore.
