"Youth and Vigor" is a personal essay about watching the movie. Rational discussions are welcome. If you don't like it, don't spray the name of the movie. It's very interesting. It's obviously a story about old people. It is worth thinking about, the process of youthful vitality and old age is a problem that everyone cannot avoid, but some people will think, some people will not care so much, and who cares most? Maybe the movie has given us the answer. The more people these artists, masters, and celebrities have, the heavier the burden will be for them when they grow old. The screenwriter played by Harvey Keitel said in his communication with young people that human beings are essentially no different from plants, animals, and everything in the world. Death is death. What is the meaning? It didn't make any sense to him, and in the end he jumped off the building and committed suicide, ending everything, I think he figured it out. The language of the film's camera lens conveys a touch of sadness, the composition and photography are very thoughtful, and the characters in the film are also all-encompassing, as if everyone is a book, such a high-end nursing home, so many celebrities Elites, in their later years, although they have no worries about food and clothing, they are only the same mentally. The more they have, the more they are afraid of losing. When I was watching the movie, I kept thinking about a picture. In the film, many old men and women are sitting in high-end swimming pools, high-end restaurants, and high-end clubs, but their faces are dull, thoughtful, this is related to Many of the sights I see in my life are exactly the same, only the scenes are different, maybe their essence is the same, just less packaging, no luxury, every time I see such a scene, I want to laugh, not laugh They, I'm laughing at myself, because I know that if one day, when I get to this age, I will sit at the door in groups of three or five, chatting with neighbors or friends, bragging, and just This has passed, very helpless, but it is conceivable and inevitable.

Neighborhood blind dates playing cards and mahjong in the parking lot
The old life with singing and dancing on the square
A moat in a small city becomes a large swimming pool

    Such a relaxed and beautiful story, in the cruelty, humor and absurdity of reality, flows with the beauty and philosophy of life, poetry and architecture, life is a world of imagination, fictional short stories, inaction and everything, in perfect harmony.

    2. The Visconti-style European aristocracy ended up in Sorrentino's sickly Swiss sanatorium. The gag stuffing is not just a poor director, but also a reflection of the poverty of the entire zeitgeist. A kind of empty shell movie that sells beauty, which is made up of jokes, beautiful scenery, beauties, and beautiful voices. All the pleasure of watching movies comes from the voyeurism and fantasy of the untouchable aristocratic class. Of course, this is one of the functions of the movie

Youth quotes

  • [last lines]

    Fred Ballinger: [sitting in his wife's room] I waited till visiting hours to come and see you. They don't know, Melanie. The children don't know their parents ordeals. Sure, they know certain details, striking elements. And they know what they need to know to be on one side or the other. They don't know that I trembled the first time I ever saw you on stage. And that the orchestra behind my back was laughing at my falling in love. And my unexpected fragility. They don't know that you sold of your mother's jewellery in order to help me with my second piece, when everyone else was turning me down, calling me a presumptuous, inelegant musician. I think they don't know that you too, and you were right that you thought I was a presumptuous, inelegant musician at that time. And you cried so hard. Not because you sold you mother's jewellery, but because you sold your mother. They don't know that we were together, you and I, despite all the exhaustion, and the pain, and the hardship. Melanie, they must never know that you and I, despite everything, liked to think of ourselves as "A Simple Song."Look at me.
