Toast to the frivolous and charming details of ordinary life

In fact, if you want to see a real story about and document the golden age of rock and roll, you can go to the woodstock documentary. There are so many movies and documentaries about hippies, so why put all the burden on a comedy movie that most people will cheer up.
When I watched it, I was surrounded by a senior rock lover who had been loving music since childhood, and still maintains the frequency of downloading and listening to several new albums every week. He had a crazy and absurd adolescence, and he was chased by the early urban management alleys and fled at the gate of the People's Great Hall because of selling tacos. He has formed a band and released a record. Seeing that everyone in the room is getting old. Over the past ten years, some old bands have disbanded or defected and become unpopular, and some new bands are young and energetic, but most of them are more Humble and gentle. There will also be a nice melody, but there will be less anger and less power. He also likes these new things, because their generation will laugh together and say "old, old." The golden age of Chinese rock and literature from the second half of the 1980s to the early 1990s. It's the same era as the pirate radio station, and it's also something we, the "post-80s", have never been able to experience even if they are fascinated.
In the first third of the film, he would say from time to time, "This... what is this?" But after watching the film, he would say frankly and without hesitation: "It's pretty good. Really, it's pretty good.
" The movie is made up of many charming little bridges, but the one that impressed me the most was the one that had nothing to do with the music. That was the scene when the little boy's little goddess was snatched by the fat man and sat in the restaurant. The way the men consoled was so funny and cute. Wanting to comfort a friend but unable to speak, he bought milk drinks and biscuits and placed them in front of the sad person. Helpless, seeing that my friend was still indifferent to the sadness, he finally ate it in secret. Until the sad little boy saw that he was about to run out of food, he joined in, and everyone finally started to giggle and eat together.
The Christmas scene at the home of the zxb-like official was also funny. After cracking something, the hostess's reaction made people burst out laughing, covering her ears and moaning softly, as if she could no longer bear the "huge" sound. Exaggerated and rigid.
The scenes before and after the little boy's biological father was finally rescued were too beautiful to die. The plot of the last piece of vinyl that was finally thrown away by the fat man and finally grabbed, is the icing on the cake.
Good music, charming tones, beautiful vintage awards, plus a group of jackass of all kinds, this is enough to make us applaud. I love the polite exaggeration in this whole film, and I love the happy ending of the big rescue by the thousands of fans competing for the final. I don't even think it's impossible for this scene to happen in reality.
It is undeniable that the spirit of rock and roll should always be related to resistance, so it will inevitably involve politics and so-called big events. But in fact, in the final analysis, they all stem from the embrace of love and freedom. It should never be so meticulous. Sometimes it's just the right amount of frivolity in mundane life, the persistence of all that finds and practices interesting quirks, that never gets leaky right. It should be shared by all good people.
So, just enjoy it. Take it as an outlet in your daily life, arouse all the weird thoughts you have ever had, and hold on to it for a while. Even if someone laughs at you that you don't understand anything, you will bravely give him a contemptuous look. And, toast to yourself.

    1. Love Actually with rock BGM. 2. I have been waiting to see if there is any old Bowie song, but even Dancing In The Street is not his version, only to realize that the background of this film is 1960S, which is ten years earlier than the Ziggy era. There was a Let's Dance at the end, yes, Bowie he crossed.

    Black humour is still the best in the UK, always able to look at one's own life after a knowing smile and be enlightened. In the crazy era of belief and impulse, I smelled the smell of "Trainspotting". Their big dream never died.
