      fireworks. lonely. The Price - Written in late 2008

      The video recommended by my turtle, when we just met.
      After reading it, I felt very depressed and depressed. Because of the heroine in the movie, but also because of the self outside the movie.
      [Fireworks]
      Fireworks, after the brilliance of publicity, silently vanished, no trace to be found, no one to care about.
      When U play, everyone loves U; when U stop, U are alone...
      【Loneliness】
      Loneliness, a helpless gesture that cannot be repulsed, but can only be endured....

      Abby Fireworks

      She is not ambitious to practice the violin for the sake of fame. She once looked up at Hilary with the most sincere and envious eyes. Those eyes were not jealous, but pure yearning and love. She just wanted to be side by side with her. She just hoped that the mother's applause would have The day also rang for her.
        She just doesn't want to be lonely.
        She wasn't arrogant and said goodbye, she thought she would follow her around the world with her. Is not it? Every time she wanted...

      she is lonelier than fireworks

      This is a road of no return, and by accident, she has embarked on this road to glory and death.

      I knew about this movie a long time ago, and finally watched it recently. The woman in the picture is the heroine of the feature film, Jackie, a cellist with a reputation for a while. Her favorites are her violin and her sister Hilary. When she gradually became famous, it was difficult for her to feel love again. Her death was a fireworks extinguished in loneliness. This Chinese translation...

      Fireworks are gorgeous and lonely

      "Crazy for the Cello" is the true story of the musician sisters, Jacqueline and Hilary Duprey, and a tribute to Jacqueline Duprey.

      The film recounts how she quickly rose to fame on the international music scene, but her fame hurts her and those she loves. Jacqueline Dupree (Emily Watson) is one of the greatest musical prodigies of the 20th century, dazzling audiences around the world with her fiery, uninhibited music. Hilary (Rachel Griffith) is married and has a family, and Jackie...

      I just read the biography of Dupree and felt that it was necessary to explain to this "hard", why she is like that, you have to have a reason and foreshadowing, how did she learn the piano when she was a child, how was her life taken care of, If you don't give a reason, others will think it's your director who asked her to bt and she'll bt~ ps, do so many people love this film because they are all cultivated geniuses? -...

      1. Ordinary people and extraordinary people no one can live easily. 2. I love the film feel of this film. 3. Each segment is constantly deepening the deep emotion and its own viewing experience for the previous story and even the whole film's story. 4. Genius is loneliness and needs more care and...

      All suffering is vain, except the pain of the body and the condemnation of the mind. What an extravagant emotion is loneliness. The filming is not bad. The young women of literature and art (those "women", uh...) love them very much, and I deeply feel the loneliness of the heroine. As for me, I personally feel that loneliness is too extravagant. Although I have some feelings and understanding, and It cannot be completely accepted, people cannot exist as a single individual, they cannot be too...

      There may be another me in the world, living a life diametrically opposed to mine. I may not be able to experience what she's going through, but she can't feel what I'm feeling either. We're always chasing what we can't get. everything will be...

    Original novel

    The film is based on the 1997 biography of Jacqueline Mary du Pré ’s sister Hilary and his younger brother Pierce co-authored "Crazy Love for the Cello." An embarrassing and even shocking life, the book reveals many stories behind the stage that is little known and even thrilling.
    This book is not just a biography of a musician. In a sense, it is more like an unsolvable question about human nature, about success, and about family. The...

    Film adaptation

    Although many plots have been cut off in order to take care of the capacity of the movie (the biggest change is that Pierce’s clues are almost obscured, and only the entanglement between Hillary and Jacqueline is emphasized), but the sadness pervades the entire biography. However, with the recurring Elga Violin Concerto in the film, it lingers and strengthens just right.
    Unlike his two older sisters, Jacqueline’s younger brother Pierce...

    The actors performed well

    The performance of the actors in the film is very brilliant. The actor who plays Jacqueline Mary du Pré is the British acting school Emily Watson . She has endowed Jacqueline with enthusiasm and stubbornness; she has fully experienced her fierce perseverance in "Breaking the Waves" and developed into a neurotic genius here. When she played the cello, she frowned slightly, her passionate movements, and her willfulness and confusion when...

    Movie quotes

    • Jackie du Pré: Typical. When you play everyone loves you. When you stop you're alone.

    • Hilary: When you love someone, you find that pictures of them stay with you all the time in your heart. Pictures of the way you think of them when you think of them.

    • Hilary: When I was but 13 or so, I went into a golden land. Cimbarozo, Cotopaxi took me by the hand. Over the Orinoco , across the blazing Kalahari desert , through the untamed grasslands of the veldt, over the steppes and home.
