The fantasy drama film is
based on book called „Youth without Youth“ as well written by Romanian writer Mircea
Eliade. The Youth without Youth film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola in
2007. Coppola said that he made the film as a meditation on time & on
consciousness. The main character of the film is ´70 years old professor called
Dominic Matei, later known like “Martin
Audricourt” who after lightning strike
becomes young again (about 40 years old).
The main idea of film is
known as “summarise history.”
My opinion
Idea:
I disliked the idea,
because it contained lots of depressing
& sad emotions. Also, is very hard for understanding & for psyche.
When I was watching it, I didn’t feel any feelings or
something what would make me cry or smile or anything except emptiness inside
of me. It didn’t have any special message or meaning either. I cannot say, it
told me “something more” & filled my life with something new. I think that
this film had more negative mood on me. It was truly one of the movies with the
worst idea what I've ever seen. Sometimes it was even gross. If someone asks me
what it was about I could not really say cause it was kind of messed up. I felt
that it was loosing point so I guess, that is why it was getting somehow so
boring inch by inch. It had really much of negative energy & cause it didn’t say
anything special to my life so I could easily say that it was wasted time of my
life, but because I am optimist I also found something positive about it.
I liked how the main character had problems with
recognizing differences between reality & dream – not because of his
suffering of course – for some reasons I found it interesting. I also liked as the main
character was angry because he felt as he lost his life & he didn’t fill it & that was quite instructive idea especially for the young people.
But I cannot really say that it has something to the with
the main idea, it was just something what I took from it as “the 2 positive
pieces” of it.
Actors:
I think that actors were
pretty good & I really liked Tim
Roth as the main character because in my opinion he went really good with his
character & he made a really good job with expressing his character.
I didn't
really like the actress who played Veronica – I think that she acted good – but I don't think that her look went good along with her character & expressions.
Filming:
I think that filming was
really good. I liked the effects & the was it was cut. Sometimes it
was getting a tiny bit confusing through.
