La meglio gioventù (2003)
The Best of Youth（燦爛人生）
分兩天看完這部長達6小時的電影，陪着這家義大利人，從1966年走到2000年，看他們生老，聚散，努力拼凑圓满的人生碎片。虛構人物與劇情並未反應太多時代的「巨河流」，有的卻是一個個令人屏息的内心黑洞渦漩。這部戲探討的是人性心理，幽微，無解。
有些人就是天生自帶瘋狂的毁滅因子。親情，友情，無計可挽。
片中的尼古拉是精神科醫生，對其兄Matteo之死道出了無奈：「他試着要轉身，我没接住」。於是他奮力扭轉曾經的愛人Giulia的自毁行徑，以親情之愛把幾近瘋狂的她，勉强拉回「正軌」，但她的迷離，她的狂可真能被治癒？喬治亞（Giorgia）則是另個飽受折磨的可憐靈魂，最终可也能回到「一般人」的世界？
能看完這部長片的觀眾，主要應是被義大利這民族的文藝成就所吸引，人文歷史上的國力强勢撑起了鬆散的故事，讓小人物的悲歡離合有了揪心共鳴，讓此劇結構焕發了類史詩的大氣。不禁會想，换個非歐美的場景，觀眾大概連半小時都捱不下去吧？

這首歌可能是這個New Age樂團最好的作品。人心奥秘，窮究一生。
LYRICS:
REBIRTH
Thoroughly still
Wait for the breath
The slow inhalation
Brings light
to the curious expansion
within your chest
The signal rings true
Its clear as a bell
The field of the heart is the strongest force we’ve ever come across
Discovered by night
As she danced away
into the moonlight
the sunlight
began to break the day
The morning arrives
begin again
open your eyes, realize,
the dream never ceases
it weaves on and on
then it breaks free
a wavering sigh
A simple reminder
that we are just here
for a moment
and then we fly
Surely with that
perspective could shift
the sequence gets set into motion
the moment you see it for what it is
and how best to serve
this changing earth
awakening here in this moment
the beckoning call
of our wild rebirth
The morning arrives
begin again
open your eyes realize
the dream never ceases
it weaves on and on
then it breaks free
a wavering sigh
A simple reminder
that we are just here
for a moment
and then we fly
The morning arrives
begin again
open your eyes realize
the dream never ceases
it weaves on and on
then it breaks free
a wavering sigh
A simple reminder
that we are just here
for a moment
and then we fly
