But also like the same type of movie "High School Musical" series, although songs play a major role in expressing the emotions of characters and promoting the development of the plot, they are not the whole of the movie. The plot of the film is equally touching.
This is a simple story, without fancy narratives, without complicated plots, and even the relationship between the characters is so pure, as if it was the encounter between Boya and Ziqi, everything is so dreamy and ideal, it is a bit illusory. The two places that impressed me the most were at the subway entrance, where a white policeman patiently supported a staggering black man. This was an idealized scene, but the reality was bloody. The other is the black superstar that the male protagonist once discovered. Even though he knew that the protagonist was frustrated for several years, he still did not forget his old favor and trusted him very much. It was also a very illusory scene, but the reality was naked. Perhaps because of the beauty of the music, the film does not want to destroy this mood and atmosphere, and presents us with the best side of life.
Whether it's "Songs Change Your Life" or "Go Again", which is a literal translation of the original English name, they all express the theme of the movie very well. Two frustrated people with almost identical life experiences came together because of music and changed their lives. The film opens with a song that, through two flashbacks, recalls the "bad day" of the two protagonists. From this, we can learn that the male protagonist was separated from his wife and abandoned by his partner; while the female protagonist was betrayed by his boyfriend. They are all people who love music, but because of all kinds of life, they are unhappy.
The hero and heroine's [together] is not because of love, but because of their same love for music and their attraction to each other's talents, which is a pure confidant-like emotion. From the beginning to the end of the whole film, the two protagonists have their own bad love and frustrated lives. They do not have a conventional "together", but become each other's spiritual dependence and support. ]. This is another layer of affection between Boya and Ziqi. When two people wear headphones and listen to the music on each other's mobile phones, they can perceive everything about this person from the music they like. Walking on the street or dancing in the dance hall, sitting on a bench and watching all beings on the street, the world of the two people blends with each other, and the real world becomes beautiful under the background of music. When the female protagonist took the male protagonist's hand to go home, at this moment, a spark might have erupted, but they chose to turn this feeling into a more pure and long-lasting confidant's emotion.
Both protagonists are proficient in rhythm and can hear the meaning behind the music. So the male protagonist and his wife ended up getting married just because they listened to music together. The heroine heard her boyfriend's betrayal from the song and her boyfriend's obsession with fame and fortune. The encounter between the two and their cooperation in music also made the two examine their own lives. The male protagonist and his wife are reunited, and the daughter is no longer wantonly degenerate. A complete family is very important for her daughter's growth. The heroine gave up her obsession with her boyfriend's change of heart, forgave her life, and chose to let go and start over.
Songs change the lives of the protagonists, but in reality, where do we go to find something as pure as music to get us going again.
