"Youth and Vigor", when it comes to such a literary film, we have to mention its award-winning companion, "The City of Absolute Beauty". Compared with "The Beautiful City", although "Youth and Vigor" does not have so many awards, it also won the Best Director Award at the 28th European Film Awards. The film takes place in a resort hotel at the foot of the beautiful Alps in Switzerland. Although the movie is called Youth, the protagonists are two old people who have been friends for many years. They are Fred, a retired musician, and Mick, a film director who is too old. Fred, who was in his youth, received an invitation from the Queen of England to play the masterpiece "Simple Movement", but Fred declined the invitation for "personal reasons", and when his daughter was abandoned by her husband, Fred tried to go. He comforted his daughter, but was accused by her daughter that he was once a heartbreaker, abandoned his wife and children, knew nothing about music, and was a stupid and arrogant musician. Fred also began to wake up. When the Queen's envoy invited again, Fred admitted that "Simple Movement" was created when he and his wife were in love, and no one could sing except his wife, so his daughter, who was an assistant, was sitting next to her, crying. And his wife, who has dementia, looks out the window all day in a hospital in Venice. Fred went to see his wife, whom he hadn't seen in years, and found some sort of fit between himself and his wife, conducting his "Simple Movement" in front of the Queen. Look at Mick again, working with a bunch of young people to create his own posthumous work.

When he went to the top of the mountain with the young people to celebrate the start of the shooting of his posthumous work, Mick asked the girl to look at the Alps with a telescope. "When you were young, everything was close, and that was the future." Then he turned the telescope to look at it again. , the companion who is clearly in front of him is far away. "When you are old, everything is far away. That is the past." But fate made a joke with him. In his posthumous work, the explanation given is: his movies have long been inferior to before, and he is unwilling to ruin his fame. Frustrated, Mick left his last words in front of Fred "Emotions are all we have got." Quietly walked to the balcony and ended my life. Sorrentino, who is Italian, has a knack for using his natural sense of humour, and there are plenty of scenes in the film that demonstrate this. The topics of conversation between the two elderly people are always strange, because of prostate problems, even a few drops of urine a day can make them relish. Then there is the "ball king Maradona" who introduced himself as a left-handed, and this is well known in the world. When the two saw the naked Miss Universe, although their hearts were more than enough, they still enjoyed the last spring in their lives. The humorous passages in it are even more numerous. Through this film, some people understand family, some people understand persistence, and aging. The movie picture is so beautiful that every frame can be used as a wallpaper. Its ingenuity is also
