no longer young

Even after filming "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", the old man's attempts at new techniques always feel less skilled than new directors, especially the film "Southland Tales", which discusses postmodern philosophical themes. In contrast, the two films are quite similar, except that this film uses traditional high-voltage electric shocks to stimulate human potential instead of quantum field energy to explain the split between the characters’ time and space contexts, and focuses more on humanistic care rather than doomsday aesthetics. The film finally doesn't seem so stupid until after World War II. Zhuang Zhou Mengdie's semantic exploration into postmodernity makes the ending interesting. The metaphor of the rose is good in terms of the story, but the film handles it well. It is really mentally retarded, and the meaningful appearance of the third rose at the end is greatly reduced. In any case, for the sake of the protagonist "The Pianist at Sea", this independent production of the science fiction theme of religious philosophy is still worth seeing, if you can endure the first hour or so when the beginning is simple and boring to absurd.

After the director Coppola has been silent for ten years, it is indeed not easy to adapt the essay novel of exiled fellow Iliad into a film of religious philosophy and suspense science fiction. Unlike George A. Romero, the spiritual leader of the ashes and the father of zombie movies, he still stands majestic in front of the guide tube at the age of seventy or eighty, and seriously instructs his group of admirers what kind of inner struggle should be. Emotional expressions will lay the poor uncle on the ground, eat his brain and chew his thighs; Coppola doesn't seem to insist on the fun of the genre - although "The Godfather" also made three episodes - a series of styles from the 1990s Different comedy and life drama films have not given up their increasingly adventurous exploration of various themes even though they are constantly being ridiculed by bad reviews. The ashes have their own perseverance, and the courage of "Young No Longer" is the same as standing in front of the infinite possibilities of film art.

When I can't see too much hope and romance in my life, I think that even these old guys are trying so hard to dream for everyone. When there is thunder in the sky, it’s good to just chop me by the way. After YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH, get a good night’s sleep.

    Awaken from a dream, Zhuang Sheng dreams of a butterfly

    The middle section was full of tears - yawning. But when I think about it at the end of the final scene, I still really like it. Coppola's comeback in his twilight years as a sole proprietorship, without the pressure of investors and producers, was almost as much stuffed as possible by him, including the completely misunderstood oriental culture and the linguistics that completely served his personal intentions. All kinds of elements inside, all rubbed and scattered into the stream of consciousness like dream babbling into Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly, chaotic, mysterious, but refreshing
