Youth is not to be squandered, what else can it be used for? !

I watched this movie because I liked Penélope Cruz.
What kind of person does she play in this film? In the end did not understand.
Does Consuela really love David? Or is it because of habit?
Maybe the definition of love that I understand is too narrow, and it is limited to two people who
can love fraternity, right?
I like the role of David. When youth is gone, we are losing ground in the battle with the years. In the end, there is no chance of winning at all. Such a sense of vicissitudes belonging to the elderly, why did I realize it so early? !
I remember an older friend said to me: You have no family now, you are alone, you may not feel anything when you are young, you have a career, you have a house, and you are very comfortable. But after ten or twenty years, if you are still in this state, your mentality will not be in this state. At that time, whether it is a career or an empty house, it will only increase your feeling of loneliness.
However, youth is not to be squandered, what else can it be used for? ! If you are destined to die alone, let all the sadness be at the end of the queue, whatever is happy, jump to the front of the queue~
Hurry up~

Elegy quotes

  • George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.

    David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.

    George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

  • David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
