Then came Toru Watanabe's monologue: Kiyuki is still 17, Naoko is still 21, forever.
I don't remember whether I read a book or a movie before. The heroine has a cute and vibrant image. She has a dream or a self-promise: she will commit suicide when she is 30 years old, because she can't bear to grow old. .
Old age is a very distant word for me, and so is death. Up to now, when I am twenty-five years old, what I have experienced is an event about death that really makes me unbearable. It is an elementary school classmate I haven't seen in ten years. , because of leukemia, passed away on the last day of April 2013, forever 23, which makes me full of regrets.
The passing of other relatives brings at best only brief grief.
Some people refuse to grow old, and some people have no chance to experience it at all. This is a sad place. To a certain extent, being able to experience the experience of life at all ages, and being able to die should be considered a fortunate thing.
But then again, getting old is indeed a scary thing. This may be the biggest feeling I have after watching the movie "Youth and Exuberance".
In the past two years, I have rarely watched this kind of slow-paced European literary and artistic films. It is basically difficult to digest and usually has a pessimistic atmosphere, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable both in terms of viewing experience and spiritual level.
If it weren't for the beautiful carcass of the young woman on this movie poster, I might have skipped it.
The English title "Youth" of the movie "Youth" is more similar, but you think it is talking about young people, but in fact the movie is about old age, and it expresses the same thing as old age.
The film basically talks about the life of two elderly people. A retired musician and a director who focuses on women's films are two friends who have been in a relationship for decades. They have similarities and differences. The same is that both are The old man is dying, his skin is loose, his hair is gray, and he is keen to reminisce about the past together. The difference is that Fred basically accepted the old age and refused any form of interviews and performances. And Mick is still reluctant to accept old age, and is keen to prepare his last movie, and declared early that it would be an excellent posthumous work.
The reason why I think the aging of people shown in the movie is so terrible is because the troubles of some other young people are still interspersed in the movie, but they spend a lot of time slowly dissolving themselves. Just like the young and beautiful Miss Universe in the film is questioned about her acting skills, she will respond proudly, the future is still very long, and there are still infinite possibilities.
Just like Fred's daughter, who cried in the bathtub one second before her boyfriend's betrayal, and can easily have a different kind of affection for the next person the next second, just like the one who has been worried that her acting skills are not remembered. "Mr. Robot Q" can try more.
And most of the elderly supporting characters in the film as old as Fred and Mick can only mechanically soak in the hot spring and sauna every day and listen to the music performance before good night. And Fred and Mick, are they focusing on peeing today? Pissed a few drops of that sort of thing.
At the end of the film, Mick finally realized how ridiculous he had always been to advertise himself as a director with a female perspective, and when he realized the stagnation and rigidity of his mind brought about by his old age, he had to take a leap.
"Youth and Vigor" is a standard European literary and artistic film, delicate and trivial, and a little pitiful. There is not much interest in the public sense, so it is not recommended to watch it.
Although it is so terrifying to be old, it is fortunate that I am so young.
