A journey without end, short youth and freedom

This short-lived road movie, the sun, the beach, the deserted scenery all the way, the sorrow of the fate that the Mexican sun burns.

She is afraid of freedom, they have too much freedom.
She has a limited time and they will be here for a long time.
She pursues the final release, and they follow the endless desire for youth.
She was presumptuous because of sadness, and they were mad because of emptiness.

In fact, she is not very beautiful, but they have too many youth hormones. In this chaotic and short journey, there is only a beginning when it starts, and there is no end when it ends. The long or short encounters in our lives, the starting and ending points we thought, are actually just a bit of interlacing in the destiny—in the end, each continues to face each other's journey.

She cried bitterly at midnight, and she laughed during the day.
They laughed, quarreled, drank and had fun, chased lust all day and night.
Because of her pursuit of freedom, she enjoys their young body.
Because of their desire for youth, they chased her mature charm.
She hoped to grasp her own destiny at the end of her life, so she initiated this journey.
They wanted to taste their mature bodies, so they started this little car heading to the mouth of heaven.

In the end, she continued her short life journey to the unknown place with a beautiful name. Then died quietly.
In the end, they return to their own path of life, obediently or rebelliously following their destiny to the unknown. Continue to grow silently.

On this journey to the mouth of heaven, she burned her body and life, and taught the two new boys a lesson about "maturity". And they exude their youth and desires, giving this woman about to enter the soil a chance and gap to release.

Then, say goodbye and never see each other again—as if never met.

She said goodbye to them, she took away a bit of their youthful and insolent lives; and they, they also died some of them with her.

Living in this world is actually always heavy. It is the fate of "Y tu mama tambien" directed by Alfonso Cuaron.

    There is nothing new in this film, that is, young people get erection and ejaculation, erection and ejaculation, then 3P, then death, and then goodbye to youth~~ But I always have a good impression of this kind of film~

    Youth pistols, pornography, all kinds of naked. The male protagonists seem to be in self-confidence all the time, the partial lens and the constantly inserted narration are so calm: there is a peculiar feeling of twisting, but that's it.
