this be not only a story and this be a practically perfect mix of history and story and of private and public and of feeling and love and life . i believe in everybody who love cinema there be a dream and to make a movie in which the story run like the life and in which we could feel like when and child in our bed and wait to be catch by the sleep and we listen the tale from our parent and everything seem more real than reality . this movie be the evidence that sometimes the life could be translate in an universal language and where everybody could feel a part of himself on the screen . la meglio gioventu be the story of a family and four young brother and along the last forty year in italy ( but it could be everywhere ) . there be a psychiatrist and a policeman and a lawyer and an housewife and but there be also their relative and friend and in poor word there be the life . i would suggest to see this long tale and you will feel well .
