| The Best of Youth | comment |
The Best of Youth is a six-hour-long Italian Epic Movie that crosses from the 1960s to the 2000s. It is about the Roman Carati family, more specifically on the two brothers Nicola and Matteo. The movie starts in summer 1966 right when Nicola and Matteo are about to attend exams at their university (the former studies medicine while the latter literature). For his part-time job, Matteo is asked to keep company to Giorgia, a girl hospitalized in a local psychiatric clinic where she has been treated with elettroshock. The decision to make her escape that place and take her to her family completely changes the brothers' plans for summer holidays, as they intended to go to Norway with some friends. They don't know it already, but this is going to set the start for a long series of events that will accompany them in the following years.Mixing both drama and a Generational Saga, with a vast Ensemble Cast, a compelling and emotional story focused on the Caratis chronicles dealing with Italian's social, political and generational transformations from the late 60s to the 2000s, The Best of Youth received wide acclaim both critics and audience-wise and was awarded under the section Un Certain Regard at the 56th edition of Cannes Film Festival in 2003. | |

Important Haircut | |
| The Best of Youth / int_4655ec83 | comment |
Important Haircut: Happens to Matteo after he entered military school. Nicola on the other hand has an important hairgrowth during his time in Norway, and he shaves again later in the movie (thus fitting the trope, albeit only facial hair-wise). | |

Intermission | |
| The Best of Youth / int_48384f95 | comment |
Intermission: It depends on the way you choose to watch this movie. You can watch it as a two-act picture, and the intermission will be just one right after the first three hours, or you can pick a four-part watching, and you'll get three intermissions (one to split the two parts and another two to split each part in two). | |

Establishing Character Moment: The first scene, where Matteo and Nicola's father asks them for help moving a television set. Matteo refuses, on the basis that he's swamped with homework, but Nicola immediately agrees, saying he needs a break. This moment makes both characters' personalities very clear. | |

Hate Sink: The lady working at the psychiatric hospital that Nicola inspects and where he finds Giorgia shortly after. Not only she clearly lies to Nicola and his team about the patients, but keeps lying even when the atrocious condition of those poor people hidden in the basement are about to be revealed, shamelessly yelling at Nicola and saying they're not treating her with the respect owned to a human being. | |

Epic Movie: With its over six-hour runtime, a huge Ensemble Cast and a plot covering over thirty years folding through an impressive Generational Saga mixed with Italian history from the second half of 20th century, this movie certainly qualifies as an epic, although it falls more under the same cathegory of such intimate epic movies as Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day, focusing not so much on visual spectacle but more on the vastness of its scope and emotional scale. | |

Unkempt Beauty | |
| The Best of Youth / int_f4b744f5 | comment |
Unkempt Beauty: Both Nicola and Matteo in the 60s, as two young men of that period and being influenced (albeit differently) by those years' fashion and ideology. The contrast between the two is rather poignant when they meet in Florence after the Arno flood in 1966: Matteo is now a short-haired and cleanly shaved faced militar while Nicola has embraced the 60s new ideologies during his period in Norway and after the encounters he made. He also grew his beard, although he'll get rid of it later in the movie. | |
