Some people are born alone. They are out of place and out of tune with the times. They are also unwilling to open their hearts, find warmth from somewhere, resolutely exile themselves, and isolate themselves from the real world. The ending is destined to be tragic.

In "A Splendid Life", Matteo is such a lonely wandering soul. Matteo is almost perfect in many ways, he's handsome and talented. He jumped from the balcony and completely hit our key point, highlighting the powerlessness of all living beings in the face of reality. In that instant, Matteo perishes as idealism incarnate. He is different and insists on himself. He left in a sympathetic

manner because he did not agree with the professor's views on the poet during the defense. After failing to save the mentally ill girl Giorgia, he resolutely joined the army and chose to self-exile . Since then, we see a struggling Matteo He intends to distance himself from his family, but when he learns the bad news of his father, he loses control of racing, hugs Nicola and weeps . Let you treat you like this?" He used his real name for the prostitute, but a pseudonym for his Mirella, who was in love with him. But never left a message. When Mirella picked up the phone, it was already too late... Struggling Matteo is exactly the predicament that the good part of our human nature often faces . Nicola asked him, how are you? In Matteo's eyes, we saw the pain that we have been holding back, and also predicted the irreversible tragedy. He returned to his shabby room, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, amid the dazzling fireworks, he jumped off the balcony...



















In those few minutes, you can glimpse his entire life: the simple home, the books scattered around, the food that is almost spoiling in the refrigerator, he is like a solitary hermit, living a very simple material life. Before jumping, he flipped through the book and watered the plants on the balcony. He had closed the balcony door, then opened it again and jumped. Matteo made a real choice for life from the highest perspective of human nature. In the most decisive way, he said no to the world, to life, and to all the absurdities.

Matteo, who jumped up, is like a funeral where our idealism has perished, and your tears are raining...

    At the end, when the male protagonist's nephew was hiking in Norway, there was a flash of a scene of walking through a tree with intertwined roots. There was a church next to the tree that reminded me many years ago that I walked with my first girlfriend in a village in China. The scene of the church was changed to a private house. Then I went to Europe to play by myself. Before she said she wanted to go with me for a few months, I would never see her again.

    He allowed the radical Julia to play the piano well, made the grumpy Matteo a book fan, allowed Merena to get her son after losing Mateo, and allowed Nicola to regain love after her daughter left. He scrutinizes, sculpts, and appeases every soul that is tossing and turning, and makes you feel that the world can be better, is getting better, and will get better.

The Best of Youth quotes

  • Andrea Utano: I watch the midnight sun sink towards the horizon, then it stops and doesn't enter the sea. I think of my father, mother, and you, how you've always said that everything is beautiful. I think you were right. Everything is truly beautiful.

  • Giovanna Carati: Look, but do you know that I still have a postcard you sent me from the North Cape, in '66, in Norwegian? I think it had an inscription. And under the translation it said: "Everything that exists is beautiful!", With three exclamation points... but do you still believe it?

    Nicola Carati: No, I don't believe in exclamation points anymore.
