To youth

The title is not very appropriate. Because the whole movie is actually just the male and female protagonists babbling on, and the rest of the characters are all for soy sauce. But it can also be understood as a general reference, that is to say, both male and female protagonists are representative characters. Thinking about it this way, this film is also a spiritual dialogue for all the women who have been there. (What about men? Men generally don't feel life in the mind, they are more direct.)

The male protagonist reunites with his ex-wife at a wedding, and the two who have not seen each other for many years have become the most familiar strangers. The ambiguous feeling gradually spread, and gradually, memories and reality were intertwined, and the two were shocked to realize that they still loved each other deeply, but they could never return to the past.

Helena Bonham Carter, who likes the heroine very much. There's always something special about her, and the dark characters she plays are quirky and charming. In this film, she is so real, and the years have left an obvious imprint on her, but it adds to the charm.

Aaron Eckhart, who plays the male lead, has a distinct "Omega chin". In addition, the impression is that of an ordinary middle-aged uncle. But this uncle in this film showed another side in front of his old lover. Sometimes young and shy, sometimes passionate and sexy, sometimes inexplicably sad, like returning to adolescence.

Old love rekindles and is fleeting. "It's nice to meet you again, but I don't know why I feel lonelier than before." These words are really wonderful.
