This is a very special, very flavorful and very beautiful movie, suitable for one person to enjoy quietly on weekends, the movie name is "Youth" (Youth) , but really young and energetic people may not appreciate it... After all, young people rarely think deeply about time and aging. I'm glad I didn't encounter this movie when I was as old as the protagonist of the movie. .
The protagonists of the film are two elderly men: Fred, a retired musician, and Mick, a film director who is still working at his age. Looking at the troubled lives of their children and the various lives of other people in the hotel with curiosity and tenderness, the film explores youth and aging, family and love, music from the perspective of an old man with rich experience. Answers to art, sex and desire, success and death.
There is no plot full of dramatic conflicts in the film, and the director does not even intend to use the plot to express the relationship between the characters and use the structure to package the story, but to use a scattered and fragmented way to unfold the narrative. Every character that appears in the movie is impressive: the precocious little girl, the not-so-stupid Miss Universe, the masseuse with steel teeth, the red-clothed monk who appears from time to time, the fat and slow-moving retired star, the watch Actors who seem to be successful and famous, old couples who never speak during meals... Even if they only use a few shots to describe each of them, it is still memorable, giving the film polysemy and deep philosophical meaning.
A release in China should be out of the question, given that there are several scenes in the film that are not erotic but completely naked. Although it's not an action blockbuster, it's a bit too wasteful to watch it on a small phone screen, and you may not even feel the beauty of this movie at all. Therefore, Xiaoyuan suggests that after downloading the high-definition resources of this movie, you can watch it on a computer or a large TV screen. It would be even better if it can be equipped with a good sound effect, because of its unique beauty, its quietness and harmony. Poetry, its wonderful music, all deserve to be enjoyed by your eyes and ears.
Because this is the first time for me to watch this type of movie Xiaoyuan, I always feel that writing too many reviews will reduce the quality of the movie. Many seemingly casual dialogue lines in the movie are actually very philosophical. There must be a difference in how people feel when they watch it. Here I have to introduce this director from Italy - Paolo Sorrentino. "Youth" is the director's sixth finalist for the Palme d'Or. Some people say that this film is different from his 13-year film. An award-winning movie "The Beautiful City" has the same purpose: beautiful, elegant, and sublime the soul.
This movie is worth finding a time when you are not disturbed, forgetting the exhaustion of fast-paced life, and calm down and savor it. Welcome all four-dimensional fans to like it~
