      How do we love ourselves without realizing our dreams

      The theater just released "Dream and Travels", CCTV6 has an appointment on the festival, "Rock and Roll" (also known as: Ricky and Lightning). It's also chasing dreams, not hesitating to abandon the family... the story after many years. The difference is that "Rock and Roll Mom" ​​is a realistic version. My mother only released one album in her life. She performed in the bar at night and used the cash register in the supermarket during the day to make a living. She didn't even make up the...

      Whoever will ignite the lightning in the end will drift like a cloud forever

      What kind of people will regret it? People who don't get what they want, and who have lost what they once have will regret.

      Ricky's life should be like this. Desperate for her ideals when she was young, she gave up love, marriage, and children, and pursued the rock music she loves wholeheartedly. If according to the inspirational film, it should be this woman's perseverance and success, she became a rock star.

      The reality is that Lin Lao Ruiqi went bankrupt, working in the...

      Regarding music, rock, love and youth, I wish you forever young!

      Watching this film, there is an emotion lingering. In fact, I originally opened this movie under the label "Rock". Rock and roll to me is an unforgettable memory, a free and unrestrained lifestyle, a catalyst that can bring me back to the days of laughing out loud, my way of resisting mediocre life, and a proof of my unforgettable love!
             Yes, this is a pale and boring youth story, a story like all stories that have been repeated over and over again. But Rachel is like, uh, girls,...

      Every free life should be understood

      I woke up in the morning and just pressed the remote control, changed the movie, and listened while washing my face, brushing my teeth and putting on makeup, but gradually watched it. My movie here is played in a loop. After going to work for a while, I will continue to watch it when I come back. But there is only one thing in my mind, my third aunt, what that word says, is apostate.

      When I was young, Sanyi wanted to be the nightmare and shame of our whole family, chasing and...

      Because we always know the hardships of life best...

      In a boring Beijing afternoon in 2000, I retrieved the address sent to me by Naya from my mobile phone, took the subway to the bus, and finally reached the downstairs of his small recording studio, which is an ordinary residential building, in the code. While waiting in front of the door, several Mongolian male singers also arrived. One of them looked absolutely over 40 years old. Judging from the silver earrings on the left ear, the stylish beard and the pair of leather boots, it should be a...

      Only after reading the short reviews did I realize that the director had previously filmed The Silence of the Lambs and The Philadelphia Story, and his playwriting ability has declined seriously. Suddenly, I understand the Sound of Light a little better. The part in the movie that reflects on the family imprisoning women is far-fetched, not to mention that the final solution is only to put the responsibility of taking care of the children on the shoulders of another woman, the Winter Soldier is...

      3 Aunt Mei wants to make a breakthrough again, but unfortunately the script is still not good. Except for the reunion of the family in the middle, the other is very boring, but Aunt Mei can sing well, but the whole song is really good. I want to make people doze off. The director of the Philadelphia Story and the Silent Lambs is now making this kind of movie...

      The music is good, Aunt Mei is moving, and Aunt Mei is still the king of drama in it. Daughter is genetic. Family drama, the family reconciles at the end, it's boring. It is a bit of feminist meaning, poverty is also poor and self-satisfied. Realizing personal values ​​is more important than family. The final reconciliation looks a bit sad in the traditional sense, but maybe it is a divorced family, a female musician who pursues her dreams and is complained by her children is more important. A...

    Evaluation action

    The script of "Ricki and the Flash" is not very in-depth, but the bittersweet mood and sharp dialogue in the film are a highlight. In addition, although the film has a lot of memorable scenes, the music elements are aside from the film, regardless of whether the original intention is to cause laughter or tears, the plot seems a bit flat and straightforward and deliberately artificial.
