Abstract: The movie Youth directed by Feng Xiaogang tells the gathering and separation of the Youth Club of the art troupe, showing the flow and sorrow of the beautiful youth. Through the visual display of the dance of life, the nostalgic narration of the voice-overs of the people in the play, the three-dimensional shaping of the protagonist's image, and the intertextual narrative of the changes of the times and the demise of youth, the film demonstrates extraordinary artistic creativity. Youth has achieved the aesthetic breakthrough of youth-themed movies, and demonstrated the profound beauty of the vicissitudes of life in the cultural context of the consumer era. It has created a social topic of general concern for the whole society and produced a wide range of cultural influence. Youth can be regarded as a phenomenal Chinese movie in the first year of the new era.
