This is probably the threshold for watching movies that is often said.
"Youth" (YOUTH), the title of the film is very scheming, revealing things that have not been filmed, and pointing out what the protagonist performs hard. Despairing eyes, salivating expressions, collagen that needs injections to maintain, this kind of loss that must be accepted and unacceptable, this kind of loss is concentrated in the Venice Symphony Orchestra conductor and composer Fred, and Hollywood female perspective director Mi On the pair of friends. Like many Western European upper-class people, they came to cool and pleasant Davos in summer to find familiar faces in the steam room, looking dejected because they were not wearing evening gowns. They were in a daze by the hot spring pool, blowing the wind in the mountaintop pasture, riding the alpine cable car that may be called the most stable in the world, sitting on the top of a mountain in the Alps, sitting on the top of the mountain, and sighing lightly: I am not so love life.
This moving line was said by Fred to an old friend, seemingly reviewing his indifference and finding a reason for what he owed his family. The genius of the film is that it only uses two old people as the protagonists, and Fred's daughter and a popular Hollywood actor as supporting roles, which includes friendship, family affection, love, career, ambition, fame and wealth, and retirement after success. Not calm and calm, but also the sweetness and bleakness of being loved and abandoned. In just a short vacation and watching, the loss, unwillingness and calmness of people in middle age and old age were photographed. You can say that a film is not a story just because it contains too many stories.
This is a work that reminisces about immaturity with maturity. It has experienced desire, stimulation, and conquest of these youthful and vigorous desires, and is lost and calm about the past. The indifferent Fred has repeatedly turned down the Queen's invitation to perform, and he no longer cares about using the royal family to raise his price. And his old friend Mick has recruited a group of young screenwriters, wanting to make up an amazing ending, and want to leave the best posthumous work. I never thought that because of the heroine's resignation and the investor's withdrawal of capital, this script has really become a posthumous work that has not yet started. The old partner and the heroine mocked that his film was outdated and had no market. Unable to calm, he jumped from the balcony of his old friend Fred and left a sentence: You say emotion is nothing, I say emotion is everything.
Coincidentally, the same rebuke and denunciation of Fred's daughter also said. Perhaps, an artist as successful as he is, has long been accustomed to the inability of close people to understand him. His fun lies in telling strangers about his own music, recalling the madness of his youth with Hollywood stars, and occasionally mentioning the Russian composer Stravinsky's jokes with him: Smart people have no good taste. So, he chose not to be smart. Isn't this a very good excuse to make a comment for escaping the judgment of the world, and the inner freedom finally has a sky to soar.
I have to admire director Paulo Sorrentino's talent for interpreting this freedom to the core. The camera does not deliberately show off the luxury of a mountain resort hotel, but rather probes into the luxury of the vacationers' inner desires. A large sum of Swiss francs can be exchanged for their firm and smooth faces in the sanatorium with the highest medical skills in the face. Unfortunately, the dull nerves are no longer elastic. They ate slowly in an 18th-century Bavarian-style high-rise dining room, filled with twilight and gloom. They heard the heart-warming lyrics of "Reality" again: Dreams are my reality, buried deep in pain and expressionlessly fantasized about being young, and the numb face has long lost the expression of the heart.
Young and vigorous, in the eyes of the dying old man, it is a great happiness.
Compared with the declining perception and memory, it is fortunate that there are snow-capped mountains, lakes, and pine forests within easy reach, which have a slower aging attitude than human beings. The Swiss countryside is known to have the most beautiful countryside scenery. This film does not intend to exaggerate this beauty, but just randomly frame the scene from a common angle, without paying attention to composition, and there is no long-term empty mirror. Every character walks and sits in the picturesque mountains, just like Fred when he hears the birdsong and the cow bark, lifts his arms to command, draws a three-quarter rhythm in the air, and embraces the secrets of nature in his arms. At this moment, he was awakened by the vitality hypnotized by the years, and awakened by the taste of youth.
The film addresses a number of unbearable and distressing realities, but it does not affect its essence as a romantic film, because of its disapproving beauty, hidden pride, and unfettered desire.
