Men, Women and Children & Youth

Men, Women and Children is the kind of movie that you wish you had made. So much truth and love and all that jazz in one film. The voyager on its journey and the narration inspired by the famous pale blue dot photo... Just makes you love this gem all the more. 
All that has happened in human lives have all happened on that pale blue dot but that is exactly why human life and being human is such a wonder as well. So much has happened on that pale blue dot which has no effect on the universe. So much has happened on the pale blue dot that few of us have become one with the cosmos. There's no pomposity in exclaiming that only we have sent the Voyager... There's nothing wrong about our daily lives, which may apparently look mundane and dull. But each of us at the micro and macro world are the same... Go ahead and watch this movie for this review doesn't do justice to it. I'll rather fall in love again or fly a kite or sing a song. Because my existence deserves it. And so does this movie.

Youth is a look at our own selves in the past and what remains of it in the present and what may remain of it in the future. Looking through both ends of a telescope was a perfect analogy for what life is. 

Two old friends share lives and secrets and youthful passions. They look at where they've reached and what has become of their lives with as much objectivity as life can afford. And then there's music and film-making... Performances that make you long for slippery youth... This is one movie that deserves to be watched again.
