I have to admit that "Youth without youth" is a movie that can no longer be pretended. The first half is still fascinating, and the second half turns this film into a discussion about human nature, language, human origin, The art film of reincarnation and the meaning of life makes me tremble all over.
The protagonist Tim Roth is said to be a character actor, his acting skills are very strong, at least I have seen him in Quentin's "four rooms" waiter and "Pulp fiction" in the robber supporting role is very vivid.
In "Youth without youth" he became Faust, a flash of lightning made him rejuvenate, and the devil became his second personality, allowing him to stay youthful, escape danger, have super powers, and more. Like Faust, the devil's deal requires Faust's soul, and his second personality requires him to finish the book he's written. The ending in "Faust" is that the angel scatters flowers to save Faust. In the movie, Tim kills the second personality in the mirror himself, and he also ages and dies in an instant.
I especially hate that the director wants to make the film very in-depth. It also mentions the story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, the Indian Shiva, and the ancient Egypt. It seems that the understanding of life of various ethnic groups and cultures is grasped. It's in depth, but I still think it's kind of nonsense.
Damn, people as deep as me can't see the depth of this film, and it is estimated that not many people can see it. Later, I went to IMDB and saw that Americans also gave this film a very low score, only 6.4 points. I feel that the reason why I can get 6.4 points is mainly because the heroine Maria Lara is very beautiful, otherwise I don't even get 5 points.
Oh yes, Matt Damon actually played a small supporting role in it, and the appearance time did not exceed 5 minutes.
