Summary of the highlights of "Brilliant Life"

Carter 2022-01-14 08:01:04

Softness overcomes rigidity, and haste is not fast. The wisdom of ancient Chinese is the main line of this film. Zuozhen metaphors the problems of this world. Mateo and Nikola try to solve them in a self-righteous way. The farewell between the two at the station means the development of two lives. The answer is in the end. Nikolai, who is a friend of time and enjoys the process, has found the right answer. The footage of Nicholas making Zozhen water daily is moving. Behind it is the attitude of being calm and calm when facing the cold reality. This is the mentality that the director believes to be a brilliant life.

----------------------------------

Nikolai and his wife Julianne are a sideline. They explain the way they change the world in a non-metaphorical way. Unlike the mainline, this sideline focuses on explaining the way of cognition of life. When I was a student, I was addicted to the school trend with Julian. Nicholas, came out of the wrong cognition. Nicholas mocked the scene where he took his daughter through the misty leftist meeting. It metaphors the break with his previous cognition and the embrace of scientific reason. This is the director. The rational cognition that life should have.

-----------------------------------

The friendliness and tolerance advocated in the film is also an extremely important point in the understanding of life. Love is an important factor linking a brilliant life. The mother of the two keeps visiting Mario's paralyzed friend every week, which is the director's metaphor about love. The importance of love lies in the connection with the incompleteness and tolerance of the bad, so that society will not be broken. However, Mario, who is distinguished between good and evil and too strong in principle, missed the link of love. Before Mario jumped from the building, the phone call with his girlfriend could not be connected, a metaphor for the final break of love. -----------------------------------

Some small fragments in the film also show the director's view of life. Nicola's friends struggled out of unemployment, implying the attitude we should have in the face of setbacks. Another friend of Nicholas, later brother-in-law, chose to stay in the country in the face of assassination threats, suggesting that we should be strong and persistent in the face of difficulties and fears.

----------------------------------

Nicholas changed the world in a seemingly slow, seemingly unprincipled, rational, scientific, and loving way, like a race between the tortoise and the hare, and changed the world a lot, changed psychological perception, changed the law, and cured Zuozhen. Establish a link with Julianne with love,

But, is this what a brilliant life is about? The ultimate question is that Nikola can never change Mario. Perhaps, complexity and diversity are the real splendor of life.

-------------------------------

I watched a 6-hour movie for the first time, and I have a lot of insights. This movie shows the cultural depth that a nation with a thousand-year heritage should have.

    Always number one on my list of movies. The film is full of crying, but not to earn your tears. The film is full of sadness, but not to earn your sadness. The film is full of strength, but it's not meant to teach you to be strong. You are Mateo, and you are also Nicolas.

    Everyone has their own pain but also has a corresponding beauty. Although I know that Matteo is similar to Nicola, it is just a different path, but sometimes I still feel that Matteo is stupid. When he is busy with Nikolai When the world is fighting and resisting the system, why don't you think about the people around you, those closest to you, but at the same time, this kind of thinking will be associated with yourself, and those shadows also seem to be projecting yourself, and you can't see them clearly Practical things and forget the beauty around me, I can't help but sigh when I think about it. 366 minutes, one night, a piece of modern Italian history, the joys and sorrows of a family, a film that made me feel that life is so beautiful for the first time, it can be said that it has no reason for me to think it is long. My dad asked me before why you like watching movies so much now, although it sounds a little didactic, but I really think so, because it makes me see the world in a different light, not only about certain things The front and the back, no matter whether it makes me feel good or sad, disgusted or compassionate, there are just some things that you can't see clearly and don't exist.

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.
