SING STREET, translated as "The Song of First Love", other translations include "Singing through the Street", "Singing the Street", "First Love Unlimited JAM" and "Rock Youth Love Song". The director of the film, John Carney, has written and directed the well-received love music films "ONCE" and "Begin Again" (Begin Again). I am afraid that only a director with a background in music can make such a pure love movie about music. In "The Song of First Love", the "song" is the protagonist.

A child who loves music will not be a bad child. The
Sing street band consists of 6 people, all of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school students who study together in a mission school. The lead singer Connor is also the initiator of the band; Darren and Connor first met as the band manager, producer and photographer; Eamon is proficient in a variety of Chinese and Western instruments, acting as the guitarist and music director; Niji is the only one in the band Black, his role was a keyboard player; two other schoolmates applied for bass and drums, respectively. There is also a role that cannot be ignored. Although he is not a member of the band, he acts as a spiritual mentor for the style formation and actual direction of the entire band. He is Connor's brother Brandon.
You can't say no to a boy who's going to write a song for you to
say that Connor's reason for starting the band was really to get the girl Rafina's attention and to pursue her later. Although Connor was not proficient in musical instruments, with his fascination with Rafina and talent for music, he and Eamon co-wrote the song The riddle of model, which is a song describing Connor's feelings about seeing Rafina for the first time and his love for music. Attracted by her unique sense of mystery, the resulting mixed emotions such as doubt, addiction, and curiosity.
You can't say no to a boy who will write a song for you, and you can't say no to a boy who will put you in a band, shoot a MV for you, and ask you to be the heroine. Rafina was moved to tears several times by the band's creation, once marveling at his talent, and once lamenting her own destiny. Shooting music TV was a trend in the American music industry in the 1980s, and they were also eager to follow in Dublin. In every MV of the band, Rafina is the only heroine. She lives up to her expectations and performs diligently, even dedicating her life to art - she can't swim and still insists on jumping into the sea just to complete a scene.
"Rock and roll is a risk"
Connor's prophet-like brother, who looks like a decadent youth on the surface, always seems to feel that he is hidden, he expresses the main spirit of the film - " Rock and roll is a risk" roll is a risk".
Look at the brave things they do in the name of love, in the spirit of rock and roll. Connor didn't know the instrument but dared to form a band and act as a soul position like the lead singer. The band held a small concert on campus, one of which was a fast song called Brown shoes, which used music to express dissatisfaction with the dogmatism of the Barnabas priest. During the performance, Connor threw the pre-made Barnabas priest mask on the stage. students below. The audience and the band members on stage were all wearing masks, and the high spirits overturned the ceiling with the rhythm of rock.
At the end of the film, Connor and Rafina drove the boat left by his grandfather from Dublin to London in the turbulent sea. Brother Brandon, who had driven the two of them to the pier, watched them disappear into the horizon with only two dots left, he jumped for joy, then got back into the car and began to breathe the air of the future. The heavy rain wet the faces of Connor and Rafina, and they kept moving forward in the cold, laughing and sailing on the future journey.
This is a kind of "RISK" for rock. Going forward in adventure, galloping in risk, reap unsure success and freedom from the future.
