The film tells the story of old friends Mick and Fred who go to a resort hotel in the Alps and discuss the troubled but envied lives of their children. Mick is a director and is actively creating his last film, which is the most important to him, but Fred, the conductor and composer who has long lost his career pursuit, has been invited by Queen Elizabeth II to play for Philip's birthday. But he refused again and again, and finally stood on the stage again because of one person...
"When you are young, everything is close, and that is the future. When you are old, everything is far away, and that is the past."
The film implies aging and death, love and sex, memory and future, art and life... Under these grand themes, the core must be "aging", because the continuous aging of the body, related to death, art, memory, desire. Thinking will keep coming to my mind. When life is approaching, as a person, I always try my best to grasp something, and gradually start to review and examine my life.
The whole film is eloquent, superb lines, beautiful pictures, the beautiful sound of the film's original soundtrack, and the quiet and true feelings, which add a bit of beauty to the whole film in addition to the stable narrative.
Can't help but remind me of the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" I read, Kundera said through Thomas' words: History, like individual life, is unbearably light, as light as a feather, as light as dust, Involved in space, not tomorrow. When thinking about the meaning of existence under such a macro concept of eternal reincarnation, we need to focus only on the perceptual world of reality, instead of expecting a non-existent kingdom of heaven or the reincarnation of the soul; we only need to pay attention to the moment of existence, "the beginning of existence At every moment", the past no longer exists, the future has not yet arrived, only the present moment really exists, and any moment has already pinned all the past and all the future.
We are all just temporary extras in this world.
