      Just talk about the ending. Is this a hopeful ending? !

      The rhythm of the film's ending strikes me as abrupt. He thought that his father died, he could get rid of the fate of the family. He discussed the performance arrangement with the Vietnamese female teacher, and instinctively thought it was the male protagonist. When encountering the enemy who killed his father, the woman walked to the front desk, nervously afraid that he would not be able to escape the tragic fate and miss the performance. The woman was explaining it for him. Finally rushed...

      "The Rhythm My Heart Forgot": The Struggle of "I"

      "The Rhythm My Heart Forgot" may not be Jacques Audiard's most famous work, but it is the film that has earned him the most awards, including eight awards in the French Caesar Awards alone. The inspiration for this film came from an unknown American gangster film in the 1970s. It is hard to imagine why a French literary director would remake a film that is irrelevant. But Audia said "Fingers" was a...

      regain the rhythm you forgot

      I have always liked the division of French films, emphasizing narrative dialogue, focusing on realism, diluting the background music, but deliberately highlighting the use of sound in the scene, mixed with a low-pitched and fast-paced French style-----squeaky. It makes people feel that they are not watching a movie, but a documentary, or they have strayed into the news scene, like encountering a female college student in the literature department. At first glance, it is clear soup and white...

      No matter what you say, you can understand

      There are very few French sentences in it. But from the moment Thomas took out the tape and started playing, I immediately fell in love with the film! !

      The DVD translation is very poor, but there is basically nothing that you don't understand! Sure enough, the movie still has to say things in visual language, although dialogue is not optional.

      The movement of the camera, the state of the characters, the music and rhythm of the film... Oh my god, it resonates with my whole...

      the power of music

      The whole film has a gray tones, exactly the kind I don't like, and it's a very depressing color to watch. I'm still sensitive to colors, and I like tender and colorful movies, but this one is about piano, so I decided to watch it. (Actually, I also attracted the male protagonist. He is quite handsome, haha, but he is too short and wears high heels~)

      Of course, all the processing of the shots is for the theme. So the dull tone is just to make people feel the depression of the...

      This moving piece. Piano and art, business and ugliness. Imperfect life, unhappy family. In the struggle, only the unforgettable melody in my heart saves the...

      Movies related to the piano are all my collection objects. Dirty sin on one side and pure piano music on the other. Two contradictory opposites. Just like the poster of the film, the right hand of the male protagonist is stained with blood, but he can also play music after washing. Some things, buried in the soul, will never be forgotten. When the low melody at the end of the film played, a sadness welled up in my heart. . . Reminds me of learning piano...

      Bach, Bach, Bach. This movie really sucks-- alas. Sadness... Perhaps the most attractive thing about this film is the translation of the title. Attacking a man's lower body is too powerful...

      Music saves the soul, do you want to be so romantic in your heart? Try to dilute the narrative as much as possible (the trivial and chaotic crime line, the rapidity and shortness of the death of the father can be reflected, and this is also the expression of the protagonist's state of mind when faced with these events), and more emphasis is placed on intuitive contrast and emotional rendering (the arrangement of music, the male protagonist's fingers practiced) ) to make the piece more...

At the same time, he also needed to help his father settle all kinds of troubles. When he played these rogue tactics, there was no mercy in his heart. One night, Tom suddenly realized that life had another direction. He ran into the agent of the deceased pianist mother's agent, which...

    Evaluation action

    "The Beat That My Heart Skipped" is not a French inspirational film. The film's thrilling crime plot and unexpected ending give audiences a roller coaster-like experience   . Compared with the remake of the original "Finger", the film pays more attention to the details   . The director is very deep and calm when dealing with the father-son relationship of the characters in the film. In "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," that selfish...

    • Sami: Playing piano is making you flip. Stop it now!

      Sami: You gonna make dough from pianos?

      Thomas Seyr: Not pianos, the piano! It's not about making money, it's about art.

      Sami: What's in it for us? You coming to meetings all, 'Hi guys, I've been playing piano.' Shit, I'll take up the banjo.
