Here comes the rain, so hold your hat
And don't pray to God, cause He won't talk back
Are you ready for the last act?
To take a step you can't take back.
In the dim tavern, Dan, in a depressed mood, ordered a whisky to kill the long, tedious night. Suddenly Greta's singing came faintly, like the tide on the seaside in the dark night, rolling up sand and rocks and rushing in. The performance has not ended yet. Her solo was re-interpreted in Dan's mind. The addition of violin, piano, and drum set gave the song an unexpected climax. At this moment, she was like a shining feather on the stage. , lonely and shining. And this is also as the director John Carney, who was a musician, wished, the overflowing surprise hits your heart.
Two lost people met because of music, Dan said to Greta at the subway entrance: You can share with me, pain is my frequent visitor. Greta loses her lover and Dan loses his career. Now they have not obtained what they should have, and what they should have lost has long been lost, and the imperfection of life itself is an ordinary probability.
"I love music, even the bland scene, music can give it a deep meaning, and the blandness suddenly becomes a beautiful and warm pearl, breaking out of the music."
On the streets of New York they used a splitter to listen to a song together, and Dan said the words while watching the passing crowd. Like Greta said, Play List has always been very private, and personal tastes and tastes of life are hidden in the list of playlists. I remember when I watched
Because the common pursuit of music has ignited their passion for life, the whole of New York is a big recording studio, in the noisy subway station, in the empty roof, in the backstreet where children play and noisy, in the lake in the street park, Let's sing aloud before the police come.
"Kids, uncle wants to record a song here, give you a dollar, and be quiet for five minutes?"
"no"
"OK, OK, two dollars?"
"Give us five dollars each, five lollipops, and a pack of cigarettes and a lighter for each of us."
There are always moments in the film that make people smile. The simple and beautiful little details in life are filled in the film little by little. The ignorant and rebellious children harmonize with a straight face. Greta and Dan are dressed like hot daughters like best friends. Sharing the same love and dressing experience, the fat buddy with a mustache encouraged her to write the song "Like A Fool" to derail her ex-boyfriend.
We take a chance from time to time
And put our necks out on the line
And you have broken every promise that we made
And I have loved you anyway...
In the end, Greta and Dan didn't get together, which made the film break out of the box of love sketches and return to the pursuit of each of them's self in life, and this pursuit ultimately made them themselves.
You are what you listen.
You are what you read.
The songs you listen to, the books you read, the world you see, and the questions you think about eventually form a you with clear bones and clear context. Maybe over time those clear notes will fade and specific sentences will blur, but they have become a part of your life, allowing you to have a different view and thinking about the world, and express it through your conversation or writing come out.
And in this process, may you meet those people who make your heart burst with pearls, those people who let you lift your head up from your daily life and smile knowingly.
Lost Stars
Youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season
And the lambs are on the run
Searching for the meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
Who are we? Just a spec of dust within the galaxy...
