There is a poignant scene in the classic film La Notte (1961) where it becomes clear that the male protagonist is seeking something new, something fresh, but will probably not value it once he acquires it. He is egoistic as well as narcissitic, and doesn’t appear to be sure about his place in the world. And to the scriptwriter’s credit, he finds an able match. Only that she knows better than to chase shadows of a relationship. The ensuing exchange between these two characters—an intellectual version of Tom and Jerry’s romp inside the house—takes us through the night (the very title of the movie) towards a morning where he comes face-to-face, once again, with his futility. Those final moments are like little embers of truth that fly into air but refuse to burn out. Classy, silly and then classy some more.
Age and friendship is an interesting take. Need for deeper connection just takes over. It's ironic that most people crave for solid friendships more and more with time and at the same time find it harder to forge new ones. Beautiful post tho.
There was always so much more in store for us; we simply didn’t bother to lift the shutter❤.
