its all about Copla's youth

Maybe Coppola is really old and needs to make a profound movie to prove it to tell himself and the world that he wants to be young that can't come back. I regret to feel that the sadness of his aging makes him have to fear death Come.
Coppola read a lot of books to make movies and write screenplays, but after all, people are people, and their desire for life is much more than the pursuit of other things. So he thought of (saw) Zhuangzi's dream butterfly. Consciousness It is clear that I will grow old and die, but I have to go around in a circle and let myself swim in the same ending when I am young. Reason makes the hero meet love again after a miraculous youth, and love is also traumatic and youthful. Pain is the pain of a lover caused by oneself. Love is complete but still has to leave and return to the original point where he had to come back. Even if that is not the original point, Coppola, who is not willing to deceive his own heart, let Tim Roth play Dominic return. Go to Romania and go back to the beginning of his dream. He forced himself to tell himself that all this is true, but the subconscious exposed his face and forced him to face the dream he imagined, and then the end told me that he did not dream, but death is the same Yes. He died under the bridge when he was young and pompous and boasted about studying the impossible linguistics.
I prefer to believe that he didn't dream and let the ambiguity go on forever. Coppola also used this film He gave himself a shot in advance, whether it is death or philosophy, whether he can accept it or not, whether there is a miracle or not, he will eventually come to the grave, but don't be too smart, and be prepared to meet death

. It's really a bit boring, but it's easier to understand than expected. First of all, it's only good for 2 hours. Second, it's still a bit of a story, but I still don't understand his intentions and insinuations in many places. The third rose ...

Youth Without Youth quotes

  • Dominic: [records his voice] Geneva, 1941, May the 7th. Dominic Matei. Dictation. The documents in the Geneva safety deposit box summarize my life, which was profoundly changed in the spring of 1938 in front of the Gara de Nord railroad station in Bucharest. My first experiences were described and analyzed by Prof. Roman Stanciulescu, in reports which were confiscated by the Nazis.

    [now watching a cinema newsreel of 22nd June, 1941. V.O. continues]

    Dominic: The war rages around me. I'm a fugitive in neutral Switzerland, encircled by the Axis powers. My Romanian homeland has made a pact with the devil - Adolf Hitler - and may soon be under siege... I've lost contact with my dear friend Prof. Stanciulescu, which could mean that he's been killed... I live in fear, dreading what awaits in the alleyways, eluding capture by my wits, moving from hotel to rooming house, always working on my book.

    Dominic: [V.O. continues. Dominic forges his documents] November the 30th, 1941. Zurich. Dominic Matei. I have explained in Portfolio B how I instinctively found the talent to preserve myself. Living like a secret agent, I discovered abilities to forge documents, change addresses and prepare disguises...

    [visits a bank]

    Dominic: Shortly before he disappeared, Prof. Stanciulescu arranged a bank account for me. In Geneva. Under the name of William Patterson. Now, without him, his funds will be depleted... and I will have to find other means.

    Dominic: [V.O. continues. Dominic reads newspapers in a café] February the 20th, 1942. Bern. I must face the undeniable and chilling truth... that I am a mutant. Like a character in a science fiction novel. I am a strange Superman of the future. I have access to knowledge unavailable to mankind. Powers, I don't fully understand.

    [visits a library]

    Dominic: Despite this, I try to behave as an ordinary intellectual. Working to complete my book, documenting the origin of language and human consciousness. I began to realize that with any text I have before me, if I wanted to know the content, I simply... knew it.

    Dominic: [V.O. continues. Dominic plays roulette in a casino] Lake Campione, October the 23rd, 1942. I found I could augment my income. Winning just enough not to arouse suspicion. Nothing is as it seems. I am the proof of that... I trust... no one.

  • [first lines]

    Dominic: [voice over] Sometimes... I admit to myself that it's possible... I will never be able to finish my life's work. My one and only book. And that in the end... without her... I will be nothing. And I will die alone.

    [cries]
