The story of the film begins with the economic depression, and the male protagonist Connor's family also suffers from experience. He is forced to transfer schools. This school is full of violent and surly gangsters. Connor, who looks weak at the beginning, is bullied by the gangster Barry.
But this guy surprised me, he seemed sensible, and the embarrassment was only a momentary thing. The next moment, he had already taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lefina, who looked fashionable and mature, that is, the heroine.
What am more interesting to me is his ability to make nonsense at his fingertips. He fooled the heroine, he had a band, and fooled Amon (a handsome guy with a musical background) to form a band with him. The story begins like this from a group of boys who form bands in a sloppy way and pursue girls as a result of hormones.
This movie made me feel very surprised, and the surprise was the male protagonist. Using a band to pursue female students seems to me very frivolous and a little frivolous, like a trick to coax people. However, in creating music, he began to express and incorporate his own feelings, and this change was very touching.
Connor's family, under the economic crisis, the parental relationship fell apart, the mother cheated, and the constant quarrels tore the children's feelings bit by bit. The rapid loss of security, brokenness and doubt, is probably the first lesson of teenage development.
Brother, who has a unique view and pursuit of music, gave up his music dream for two parents who "married because they wanted to have sex". Before the birth of his younger brother and sister, he followed two immature and responsible parents. In the rental house, endure that kind of loneliness and anxiety. In the past, he was also the jet engine who enjoyed the music on the stage and was chased by the crowd. Now, watching his younger brother Connor seem to be walking the road he has traveled step by step, he is full of excitement, but also envious and aggrieved.
The emotion is too complicated.
In the end, my brother secretly drove Connor and Lefina away. Looking at their backs, my brother couldn't help screaming "Yes". He was really frank and worthy of respect. He protected his brother's dreams and love.
However, what is love - Lefina's sentence will not be happy for your sadness, leaving only the words "sorrow and joy", leaving Connor confused. The family backgrounds of the two are very different. Although Leifina is only one year older than Connor, Leifina has experienced a very ups and downs and complex, and the misfortune of the family makes her more vulnerable and more mature.
Maybe my brother's analysis is right. Lefina has some love for her father and hopes to seek a sense of security, but at that time Connor was not enough to bear it. He still didn't understand how deep his feelings for Leifina were!
When filming the song's MV, Refina, who can't swim, jumped into the sea for art, and Connor jumped into the water to save her. At that moment, if it were me, I would kiss it without hesitation, because Refina is like It was a brave and beautiful spark that was so heartbroken that she was so shocked that she was speechless.
The look that Connor stared at Refina from sitting in the corner was completely different from the look he first approached Refina. There is confusion and depression. Refina and her ex-boyfriend were going to England, and she didn't attend Connor's show that night. Connor fantasized about all kinds of things. He waited from the afternoon to the night, looking at the door. Waiting was the most painful. As long as time didn't stop, there was hope, and people hoped that the next second would be disappointment. The pain of love, Connor finally knew.
Refina once wanted Connor to write her a happy song, but in the end, Connor, who was crying for love, only wrote a very heartbroken and very sincere song. Refina understood it and burst into tears. She bravely chose to fight and ran towards Connor.
I like Refina, I like Amon, and I like my brother.
"All the talented people on this island must escape" - they must escape, escape the whirlpool of family and growth, defeat the cowardly self, hold on to talent, dreams and love, and pursue thoroughly . Tears and smashes those morbid lonely feelings and emotions, don't abandon tears and sincerity, laugh when you love, and fight when you hate.
Also, Connor is really good, and Barry, who only talks with his fists, never intimidates him. Instead, Connor uses his confidence and strength to push down the violence that Barry has always embraced.
The last sentence, the movie was translated into "first love, this love song" really persuaded passers-by to retreat, and did not reflect his connotation.
