We Who Farmer Director Psychoanalyst Oscar Actress Movie Master We Always Get Old

we all are ageing

Like his other film "The Beautiful City"

This is also a movie about aging

You once climbed to the top of the world, now I just hope the world forgets you

You've had romances with dozens of girls, but you'll never forget the girl you loved and never got

Your marriage is falling apart, you haven't visited your demented wife in the hospital for ten years, and you think about her every day, but about her decades ago

Your ego has stabilized, you don't believe you can create anything new, you don't want to get accolades that don't make waves, you feel like doing anything is a waste of time

Your body is aging, except for elegant clothes and etiquette, you are like a rotten rotten wood, pain is everywhere, your face is full of wrinkles, loose skin, dense spots, prostate problems, calculating the amount of urine every day, can no longer get an erection

You've invested in fun, but you find that parties are the loneliest

You observe everyone around you, the messenger who works for the queen, who is young and rude; the actor who is imprisoned in his former role, silently admiring him; the transformed Miss World, she is beautiful and smart; the one who plays Hitler The man finally understands that life is not politics, but desire; the couple who have been silent for a while, slapped the woman, and then had sex frantically in the woods, the two screamed to orgasm

Everyone struggles, and we watch others suffer to understand our own lives

You can't even remember your childhood memories, everything becomes vague and unimportant, and on the eve of your death, the only thing left in your mind is the first love and lust of life

You have witnessed the suicide of a friend of sixty years, and you are in grief, but life goes on

Your daughter has a backlog of resentment against you, she says you're psychopathic, you even doubt yourself, and you admit that intimacy sucks

And if you don’t believe in God, guilt eats away at you, and you can’t even be redeemed

Finally you got on stage and directed the last "simple song"

The woman has tears for your crooked eyes and you feel nothing and you are indifferent to these ego and stupid feelings

you are getting old

The art of aging is boundless patience, so that pain is left to ourselves as much as possible, it makes us look a little more decent.

    Growth is mud, love is not stained. Death is relief, and old age is punishment.

    Just like Amour's name of love is actually about pride, the name of Youth is actually about loss~ Sorrentino is really a lot of ordinary things, but there are occasional five-star extraordinary moments - in addition, classical coffee is also... violinist is true Mulova, the singer is Zhen Cao Xiumei... Said a lot of Stravinsky, but only one "Firebird" was matched - it is the most exciting part of the whole film, comparable to "Beautiful" City" that dawn, and the rest is Debussy's overture...

Youth quotes

  • Mick Boyle: Do you see that mountain over there?

    Girl Screenwriter: Yes. It looks very close.

    Mick Boyle: Exactly. This is what you see when you're young. Everything seems really close. And that's the future. And now. And that's what you see when you're old. Everything seems really far away. That's the past.

  • Lena Ballinger: Bathtubs are more dangerous than Everest.

    Luca Moroder: How true.
