I’m so sorry, I almost thought it was Pirlo when Matteo appeared. Too standard Italian man's face and long flowing hair. Vespa motorcycles bring people back to that youthful Italy again, especially when he took Zuozhen to the "Old Nest", as if "Roman Holiday" reappeared. Well, without further ado, back to the topic.
Rather than saying that Mateo is an idealist, I prefer to think that he is a perfectionist, although he also has the same ideals as an idealist.
He is sensitive, delicate, beautiful, pure, gifted, intelligent, and perfectionist.
At the beginning of the film, his father said that Matteo was nervous about everything, and this nervousness can be said to be sensitive.
He can see the fly in the ointment at a glance, he can recognize DiBani's ignorance, he has his own aesthetic, and he never compromises with others, even authority. He was the kind of person who had the courage to tell the truth and do what was right, someone many of us wanted to do but were afraid to do or couldn't do.
You can see that he has been getting A's in his grades and has been pursuing perfection.
It's not that he can't see beauty, it's not that he didn't find beautiful eyes, or he wouldn't have sincerely praised her beautiful hands when taking pictures of Zuozhen, and photographed her beautiful hands and developed them into beautiful photos. It was his delicacy and sensitivity that made him discover the mark of Zuozhen's electric shock treatment in her photos. It's just that he doesn't allow the ointment, he doesn't allow the slightest impurity in the beauty. He hates the strife in the world, and he resents the quarrel that will inevitably bring about starting a family, so he said to his sister: "When you grow up, learn from me, don't get married."
However, it is still the same sentence, there is no perfect person. People who pursue perfection tend to go to extremes when they realize that perfection is just an illusion.
Unfortunately, what to fear, what to come.
At this time, his inferiority complex, paranoia, excesses, self-isolation, and impatience were all displayed in front of him one by one.
You also see how he is disappointed by the disagreement with the teacher. When this disappointment was internalized into low self-esteem, it became reasonable for him to be able to shout out to Nikolay that he had failed that exam years later.
His inferiority complex is also the reason why he regresses in the face of love. He was so inferior that he didn't even have the courage to seize love. He felt that he was not worthy of good love, so he was forced to hurt the person he loved. At a dance at the beginning of the movie, when the girl took the initiative to kiss him, he chose to avoid and reject it. In front of his lover Melalie, he chose to step back and give up. Someone once said that if a man seriously feels that he is not worthy of a woman, then he really will not be worthy of this woman, whether it is the intention of the party or the will of God. Although this sentence is not universal, it is more suitable for Mateo at that time.
A person with low self-esteem, if others are better to him and have greater expectations of him, the easier it is for him to go in the opposite direction, and the more likely he is to be afraid that he will be sorry for others and himself.
Some people say that the sense of inferiority caused by the misfortune of the family is the root of all troubles. Although it cannot be asserted that Mateo's inferiority complex is a misfortune from his family, it can be considered that his inferiority complex is indeed the source of all his troubles.
My heart is full of purity and beauty. In the face of the flaws and ugliness around me, my heart is more than enough to change everything, but I am helpless, which makes the feeling of inferiority evolve into fear and fear of the world. And the inability to overcome the fear of the consciousness, induced the evil side of Matteo opposite the good. The evil here is not the kind of murder, arson, stealing, looting, and looting, but the sadness of falling into death.
He is so sensitive and yearning for perfection. When he finds that the reality is so disappointing and he is powerless, how can he not be out of tune with his surroundings, how can he not want to escape the world, escape from love and marriage where there will be quarrels at any time, escape from family and friends, escape from Academia, made up of teachers who don't know how to pretend to understand, rely on the old to sell the old, think that people who abuse their parents are not worthy of being poets, escape from the turbulent, chaotic, disappointing, and lifeless Italy.
get away. Where to go? There is only one place, death. There is no struggle, no quarrel, there is his final destination.
If Matteo didn't choose to die, it is very likely that he would become the same autistic and crazy as Zuozhen was when he was young. Zuozhen and Matteo are in a certain sense, which is why Zuozhen can see through a photo taken by Melalie that Matteo has something to say, while Nicola Unrecognizable.
(This film review is written in time for the evening of December 31, 2015, the new year is coming soon. I look out the window, the lights are bright, the moon is hanging in the sky, there must be a lot of people in the Bund, Sanlitun, Ginza , Eiffel Tower, River Thames, Times Square New Year's Eve, and I'm thinking about the same Mateo who jumped on New Year's Eve. I don't know what he was feeling at that time, I don't know, or I don't understand.)

About the 18th minute of the movie, before Nikolai had sex with a woman, the woman said, "You are not the same as Matteo."
Nikolai is a moderate person, an idealistic realist Or he is a realistic idealist. He can't do extreme things. In the process of driving, when someone accelerates past him, he will say "idiot", and he will not lose his temper as easily as Mateo, driving the car with Nikola, Julia and Sarah like a racing car.
Nikolai was a tepid man, like a calm lake. A curious person will probably not be interested in him.
Nicholas is a man of faith, and his faith is good. Nikolai lost his father, his wife Julia, his sibling Mateo, his mother, and many more. In the face of all this, he is like a puzzled child, his eyes seem to stare straight ahead (there are more than one such scenes in the movie), he asks questions towards the world, and uses his actions to find answers from this world. .
Facing the disappointing Italy, Matteo wanted to save, and finally felt powerless and committed suicide. Julia wanted to save, and finally she went to a dead end and died on her own. We have to admire the bravery of Mateo and Julia, their sacrifice of life, has to be awe-inspiring, because few people can be like them, so we think they are brave. However, ruthlessly speaking, we can't guarantee whether the righteous force represented by Matteo will benefit the Italian people if it ends the dark forces at that time; we also can't guarantee that another revolutionary force represented by Julia If the dark forces at that time are finally eliminated, will it be possible to benefit the Italian people? There's no guarantee that the force that Matteo and Julia represent won't be the "Napoleon" of Animal Farm.
Nicholas didn't want to save the world at first, but when he saw that there were people around him who could show kindness, he gave it, and instead saved many people. When the teacher asked him if he had any ambitions, he did not have lofty ambitions. To be honest, I really admire him in my heart because he is too sincere. Just like we are graduating from university now, most of them are unknown and can only move forward. After parting with Mateo at the train station, Nicola, like Guevara who graduated with a medical degree, seeks himself through travel and constantly adjusts the direction of his life. His kindness made him go on time, and when he encountered what he should do, he did it without hesitation, just like he chose to help Zoe when he postponed his graduation trip without hesitation, and also like he did not turn back after the flood in Florence Just like joining the ranks of volunteers.
Nicholas was devoted to good, and he had confidence in Italy, even if it was disappointing.
A truly confident person is patient, a truly confident person is gentle, and Nicholas is such a person.
Juliet has low self-esteem, and she does not dare to face the people and things she feels she has failed. She was so inferior that she didn't even have the confidence to regain happiness. In prison, she was so happy when she saw sheet music that she hadn't touched in years. However, she has been holding pistols for many years, and those heavy hands are no longer able to leap above the black and white keys. She tried to use sunglasses to cover and soothe her low self-esteem, so that she could stick her head out in front of others. However, her daughter's last warmth failed to dispel her insistence and refused to participate in her daughter's wedding.
Nikolai is a bit like the innocent Levin in Tolstoy's writings, no matter how bleak and dark the world is, after getting hurt again and again, he still believes like a child that the world will be fine. Like the simple Truman in "The Truman World", he always smiles without hesitation to everything around him. He is also like Rancho in "Three Silly Bollywood", no matter what happens, he always says "All is well" and everything will be fine. His confidence in Italy is a bit like Lin Yutang's confidence in China, although everyone views China with a hatred of iron. Matteo and Julia are a bit like Lu Xun in a way. Mateo gave up writing to join the army, Julia gave up music to participate in the social reform movement, and Lu Xun gave up medicine and joined literature. Julia and Nikolai's farewell after having a different dream in the same bed is a bit like the farewell of two former friends, Lu Xun and Lin Yutang. After many years of separation, when Julia heard about Nicola's recent situation from Caro's wife, she said: "He's still the same, he hasn't changed at all." Yes, Nicola never changed that kindness, in front of the court Defending and taking care of the patients around him has never changed his belief in the future and in the beauty.
If Nicholas is placed in other countries in other times, no matter how sad or sunny that era is, no matter how desperate or bright the country is, he will always move forward towards goodness. Put Nicholas in today's China, let him go to the petition office near Beijing South Railway Station, he will not be full of resentment towards the world like a troll; let him go to Orson on the North Fourth Ring Road, Nor would he be like a saint, shouting Long Live the Republic. He should turn the ideal in his heart into a gentle force, which can make him maintain a kindness like a child, plus his years of social experience, he finally chooses a career and devotes himself to it. Throughout his life, he has been improving the person around him, just as he did to Zoe Jin.
I think Niko clearly knows the beauty and ugliness of the world, idealistically yearns for beauty, and realistically believes that it is not so easy to realize this ideal. In the face of the common ideal, both Matteo and Julia chose to face it bravely, while Nicola chose to face it rationally, which made him look more like a coward than the former two. A realistic idealist like Nicholas is the kind of person Kant called "down to earth and looking up at the stars". In his view, ideals are beautiful, and we can choose to move forward bravely and fly to the flames. However, if the price of moving forward is sacrifice, we would rather choose to slow down and come down to earth. If a person who strives for his ideals sacrifices himself halfway through, who will continue to strive for his ideals? To a certain extent, people who sacrifice before their ideals are realized are not a kind of betrayal of their beautiful ideals, and even to put it bluntly, are they too selfish? Try to personify the ideal. Ideal is calling Mateo, Julia and Nicola, saying: Come on, I am waiting for you in the distance. Matteo and Julia responded enthusiastically to the ideal's call and bravely demonstrated their desire for a distant ideal. However, one day, Ideal suddenly found out that Matteo and Julia, whom he had summoned, died on the way to him, what would Ideal think? This is like a girl who is waiting to be married in her boudoir, longing in her heart that a loved one from afar will one day come to open her boudoir and marry her. What did this girl think in her heart when she suddenly learned that her beloved had died on the way? The ardent desire in her heart has turned into an unresponsive sound, and her heart must be very painful and sad. The more heroic and bloody the beloved sacrifices, the more painful and sad the girl will be. To a certain extent, the beloved is not Live up to the white-haired beauty in her boudoir. I am eager to see you, and you are eager to see me, and if you are too hot for us to see each other, how can I accept your departure like this, how can you bear to leave me alone Missing you alone in this world? Is it not ideal? And Nicholas not only knew the call of the ideal, but also knew that he could not live up to the ideal, so he chose to be down-to-earth and choose to avoid the thorns that the ideal's temptation might give birth to. He was too rational, so he was like a coward. The beautiful ending of the beautiful woman can only be realized by a coward like him.
In modern terms, if an ideal does not come to fruition, can it still be called an ideal?
Instead of Nicolas himself explaining his attitude and way of life, Matteo's son, explained Nicola's attitude to life: "I totally agree with you. It is a pleasure to be with someone you love. I saw the midnight sun set on the horizon, but it didn't enter the sea. You always say that things are always good, and I think you're absolutely right. Everything is really beautiful."
Some people say that the director gave too many scenes Nicola, much less Matteo by comparison, is unfair to the tragic hero Matteo.
And in my opinion, it's fair. Matteo is a person who is dead but still more important than Mount Tai, a person who is dead but still alive in people's hearts. Not only in the hearts of his mother, sister, sister, Nikolai, Melalie, Zoe, and his friends, but also in yours and mine, don't you? His mother took Matteo's book and left the scene of the incident in grief. Years later, seeing his son was like seeing Matteo himself; his sisters and sisters also had a different view of life because of Matteo's death. Understand; Nicola lives in Matteo's shadow all the time, even his last friend Carlo told Nicola that if he can't get over the hurdle of Matteo, he and Merally will hate Matteo forever ; Why doesn't Melalie miss Matteo all the time? She gave birth to their child, and took good care of her son to grow up. If it wasn't for Mateo, I think it probably wouldn't be like this; wouldn't Zoe be too? She has always wanted to meet Melalie, because she knew that she could learn from Melalie what Matteo wanted to say before his death; and don't you and I miss Matteo now? If I imagine the director's "Nicolas Plan" just because of the length of time Matteo appeared in the film, I think it is the same as imagining that God is jealous of talented people, and prematurely took away people like Nietzsche, Lu Xun, Van Gogh, Gu Cheng, Jobs, Wang Xiaobo, who died young, wonder if God is too cruel to rebuke God. Matteo himself comforted Nikolai and Meralie at the end, what is the need for us to discuss fairness and injustice.
Matteo and Nicola, two people who seem to be diametrically opposed in character and destiny, both ended up in the same path. The two of them were like friends who met at the foot of the mountain and wanted to climb to the top of the mountain together. One said that I would walk from the north slope of the mountain. Although the road was steep and dangerous, I was willing to go to hell; Slow, but most promising to reach the summit. The people from the north fell from the cliff, and what was left, only the people from the south planted a flag on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, full of nostalgia for each other. The other party came to the top of the mountain in another form.
Comparison is not for judging the pros and cons, not for arguing about which one is superior or inferior, but to make us more likely to see the other side of the polyhedron, or it can be said that this is not a comparison, but a description. Please allow me to make a guess that I don’t know if it’s appropriate. Nicola is probably a Cancer, and Matteo is probably a Virgo, or Nikolai is probably a water sign, and Matteo is probably a Earth constellation.
However, despite the above, Matteo, Nicola, Julia, are all kind. The difference is that each chooses a different way of doing good. Matteo's kindness made him want to enter Zuozhen's heart, and let him choose to maintain stability to avoid another person facing a broken family like Zuozhen. Julia's kindness makes her want to get rid of those cancers for Italy through social movements. Nicola's kindness made him choose to spend his life in psychiatry, as much as possible to relieve and share the pain of people like Zoe. When he got an A on his first exam, the teacher said he had the most important thing about being a doctor: compassion, and it was. His teacher also said frankly that he might be wrong, but sincere Nicholas did not let him wrong. His kindness is a bit like the kindness of Haruto Aso, who chose to study medicine in order to help Aya Iina in "One Liter of Tears".
The director does not seem to be "influential", and the information that can be found on the Internet is only a simple "date of birth on October 1, Libra", there is no annotation for various awards, but the beautiful fireworks left in the world are only like this. Gentleness and self-confidence can make an epic movie spanning nearly 40 years without caring about the textbook-like 2 hours. I always felt that he was a bit like the Jose who was waiting for Sanmao, always doing one thing tepidly, tenderly and confidently, and didn't care what the "mainstream" was.
It has been several days since I watched the movie, but this calm movie made me unable to calm down for a long time. I don't know how much influence this movie will have on me, but I just vaguely feel as if there is a Nikolai living in my heart, a Nikolai who is very similar to Levin, making me face life, feelings, and work. Be more patient and sincere when you are frustrated.
Thousands of worlds, all living beings. Try to understand others and try to love those around you. Smart is a gift, kindness is a choice. We have every right to choose whether to love the people and things around us.
White-collar workers crowding the bus to and from get off work, students taking classes in university classrooms, businessmen talking about business at the dinner table, politicians speaking in front of the media, construction workers operating machinery on tower cranes, generals in military uniforms in the army, oil well workers drilling at sea, in the mountains Farmers who work with hoes, drivers in taxis, and cleaners on both sides of the street. . .
I even dare to assert myself that not understanding is the root cause of all troubles. Our troubles today are just because our intelligence, emotional intelligence and experience are not enough to make us smile.
Accept and understand the surroundings, raise your head, and walk towards the sun confidently, not for a certain person, not for a certain group, not for a certain doctrine, just move forward firmly. With a good heart, believing that everything will be fine, caring and caring for the people around you, doing what you should do is the greatest respect for life and living up to it, and it is also the greatest responsibility to yourself. . If we all did this, or most of us did, the world wouldn't need the gifted Mateo and Julia to make unnecessary sacrifices.
The sun does nothing but rises in the east and sets in the west; the
moon does nothing but the clouds are absent; the
sea does nothing but the tides alternate; the
mountains and rivers do nothing but stand tall; the
rivers do nothing Doing, just meandering and flowing;
plants and trees do nothing, just grow freely;
insects and beasts do nothing, just reincarnate in life and death;
the world does nothing, just normal operation; the
human world does nothing, everything is natural Will be fine.
Maybe this is Let it be.
Um.
The world is too beautiful, it is heaven for me.
