We Who Farmer Director Psychoanalyst Oscar Actress Movie Master We Always Get Old

we all are ageing

Like his other film "The Beautiful City"

This is also a movie about aging

You once climbed to the top of the world, now I just hope the world forgets you

You've had romances with dozens of girls, but you'll never forget the girl you loved and never got

Your marriage is falling apart, you haven't visited your demented wife in the hospital for ten years, and you think about her every day, but about her decades ago

Your ego has stabilized, you don't believe you can create anything new, you don't want to get accolades that don't make waves, you feel like doing anything is a waste of time

Your body is aging, except for elegant clothes and etiquette, you are like a rotten rotten wood, pain is everywhere, your face is full of wrinkles, loose skin, dense spots, prostate problems, calculating the amount of urine every day, can no longer get an erection

You've invested in fun, but you find that parties are the loneliest

You observe everyone around you, the messenger who works for the queen, who is young and rude; the actor who is imprisoned in his former role, silently admiring him; the transformed Miss World, she is beautiful and smart; the one who plays Hitler The man finally understands that life is not politics, but desire; the couple who have been silent for a while, slapped the woman, and then had sex frantically in the woods, the two screamed to orgasm

Everyone struggles, and we watch others suffer to understand our own lives

You can't even remember your childhood memories, everything becomes vague and unimportant, and on the eve of your death, the only thing left in your mind is the first love and lust of life

You have witnessed the suicide of a friend of sixty years, and you are in grief, but life goes on

Your daughter has a backlog of resentment against you, she says you're psychopathic, you even doubt yourself, and you admit that intimacy sucks

And if you don’t believe in God, guilt eats away at you, and you can’t even be redeemed

Finally you got on stage and directed the last "simple song"

The woman has tears for your crooked eyes and you feel nothing and you are indifferent to these ego and stupid feelings

you are getting old

The art of aging is boundless patience, so that pain is left to ourselves as much as possible, it makes us look a little more decent.

Extended Reading

    Solotino uses his extravagant photography and occasional poetry to produce a second-rate work. The theme of [Youth] is when the old people look back to the spring of life (and it is here that the author makes the only effective lyric in the whole film, general but honest). For the rest of the time, he kept throwing in new angles, but he wasn't ready to expand them. Those endless comparisons between old and young did not lead to the depths. It's a slang for the obvious.

    Sorrentino's aesthetics, positioning, composition and body movements are also harsh, but the overall feeling is still lifelike, the plot is easy to understand, and it is easy to bring emotions into it. The repetitive contrast between youth, where everything is near, and old age, where everything is far away, is intertwined with dreams and reality, and the connection and performance are calm and relaxed. In fact, the film did not deliberately distinguish between old and young. They are in a harmonious relationship and interact with each other. [B]
