      When you don’t understand, just listen to it

      I was a little confused at the beginning-I really don't remember that in that era, there was once such a rock star, comparable to Elvis and the Beatles, and could produce more than 40 gold records in a lifetime. Later, although I saw some details of the history of spoofing rock and roll, in most cases, I saw only a poor man struggling in his heart, clinging to his music, trying to get even the least bit of spiritual comfort.

      Until the end, before the end of the movie, that song and...

      a great rock biography

      Today, I accidentally flipped through this movie and watched it. The beginning of the movie was very absurd, which aroused my curiosity to continue watching. The whole film is full of comedy and absurdity, and cannot be considered a biography, after all, there are too many fictional elements. The film spans from 1926 to 2007, fully demonstrating the decades of changes in American rock music, and the whole film is well connected in the music, and the OST is also very good, especially the...

      Beautiful ride.

      This film is based on the life of Dewey Cox. Dewey Cox looks back on his life before his last show, which starts the movie. Dewey Cox has a legendary life, a life of music. Had three wives, and eventually grew old with the second wife. He also had so many children, 22, that he had to spend some time keeping track of who was who and who was his child with whom. This is not an easy task. hehe. According to the introduction in the film, he has had 411 women and 3 men. Although it can't compare to...

      Beautiful Ride

      "Walk Hard", this is a story about a prodigal son, it shouldn't be a biography of Dewey Cox in the strict sense, or maybe his life itself is too legendary, so it
      's a comedy in this way of joking , bitter comedy, but in the end - comedy
       
      as a girl, watching a movie like this can be
      exhausting Greatness requires too much dedication, incomparable patience, and unswerving love
       
      . A little bit of experience is that
      even a person with a strong personality cannot...

      Watch Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

      I almost missed the movie because of this poster. If I hadn't seen this movie, I would have missed such a great guy, I don't mean his experience (he slept with 411 women, married 3 times, had 22 children, starred in Seventh Century In the 1900s, he made his own TV shows, and made friends including Elvis, the Beatles, etc. He would never tire of trying all kinds of drugs known to mankind, and then quit one by one...), but His music, his music is fantastic, especially the early style. And the way...

    Movie plot

    In 1946, when seven-year-old David Cox ( John Christopher Reilly ) missed his brother Nate while playing around, his father was very sad about his lost son who was proficient in piano and had a great dream. David had a grudge, and David took Nate's exhortations before his death to show his musical talent. A performance at the age of 14 caused David to get involved in the public opinion center of the town. He couldn't stand the cramped...

    John Christopher Reilly's performance is dazzling, and the ubiquitous humor is like freestyle wrestling, not at all affectionate; this humor can make people laugh while falling into thinking   . (Sina Entertainment Review)
    "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" is a pseudo-music biographical film full of exaggerated and postmodern deconstruction factors. The film is mixed with sharp themes, crazy imitations and vulgar funny. Full of...
