意外的非常好看，田納西對于情感糾葛的表現(xiàn)非常辛辣尖刻，給人酣暢淋漓之感。盡管有著對于名利丑陋面的揭示與批判。仍在故事的結尾給予了甜蜜的希望與和解。

Sweet bird of Youth, at the opening of the film, with the background of a flock of sea birds flying over the river, the hero drives the car accompanied by the former Hollywood actress Alexandra is needy and desperate at the moment, escaping reality by consuming tobacco and alcohol,

They are using each other in order to get the thing they want. However, the sweet bird has not died yet in Chance’s heart, for his love towards Heavenly is still there, singing.

The acting of the Page is really powerful and emotionally bursting, she tried her best, pleading with Chance to stay once she knows that he is still in love with Heavenly. However, she just throws Chance away as penniless luggage at the moment that she knows she has a chance to shine on the stage again.

Chance’s fantasy has been smashed, he went to find Heavenly and persuades her to leave the town with him. Heavenly loves Chances as well, so they reconcile and leave the town together.

Heavenly’s greedy father shouted at them--the maid of their --Nonnie said you just go straight to hell by yourself.

Tom the boss of Finley deserves this, as he does not love his daughter and just enjoying to put her on display as a model of purity and chastity.

He mistreated his mistress--miss Lucy as well, and he is suspicious of her, so he hurts her so brutally by closing that jewellery box so suddenly to break her fingers. The shouting of her is really emotionally disturbing!

Fame rotten heart, however, Chance is still in love with Heavenly, so no matter how bitter and frustrating he gets from the failure of pursuing a career to become a film star. He is still in Youth and has hopes for a rebirth.

The film version was sanitized, with Chance becoming a drifter rather than gigolo for hire. The ending was also heavily altered from the explicit sexual mutilation scene depicted in the conclusion of the original stage version.

Somehow, the sweet bird of Youth has a satirical and ironic meaning, which indicates that the bird in youth is sweet, but also can be poisonous, Chance becomes the lover of a fading film star, in order to exchange fame. However, selfishness and ugliness of fame contaminated, corrupted and destroy him at last, as the pricing of being sweet.

He used love like most men use money.

The biggest difference between people is not between the rich and the poor. The biggest difference is between those who have ecstasy in love and those who haven’t.
