In the beginning part, the father of the male protagonist proposed to "be like a man", which obviously became the Stated Theme of the whole film. By extension, it is to let the male protagonist grow from a boy to a man. In the Opening Image and subsequent Set-up sessions, the description of the male protagonist's N defects did not put him in a situation in which he was in urgent need of growth: he was actually a character who had an opinion and would fight against the world. And the whole story basically just amplifies this resistance. In other words, the growth arc of the male protagonist is not tortuous enough.
Character Setting: Take a look at the personal choices of the male lead. In the process of growing up, all the actions of the male protagonist were not placed in a dilemma that needs to be chosen by the screenwriter. Whether he decides to form a band, fight against the school, take his sister, or leave the family, there is no entanglement or choice, and the journey goes smoothly to the end.
Type analysis: After the male protagonist entered the school, he was originally out of tune with the entire atmosphere, which made people extremely sure that this would be an Institutionalized type, focusing on describing the disharmony and confrontation between the protagonist and the entire organization. But the only thing that troubled the male protagonist from beginning to end was a teacher who didn't show up for half a day, who didn't show much drama, and a big silly guy who gave in quickly. This villain offers little hindrance.

    The story is a bit messy, there are good sentences but not good chapters, and the music is a bit far behind the previous two. After reading it, there is no passage that can echo in my mind. Under the hopeless world, the youth looking at the distant direction is very small and fresh, but the emotional theme is deeper, and John Carney is somewhat incapable.

    The photography is so beautiful, the music is so nice, and the story is so straightforward but with a thousand twists and turns. Explaining family relationships in two minutes and portraying the characters, using the mirror to be casual and nonchalant, without any fuss. Every scene shimmers with a youthful gleam, and every character is imbued with memories of you and me. The troubles of young Connor, the sorrow of all living beings. The whole process is immersed in the story of his first love. It's really beautiful, and he fell in love with the boy who played Amon.

Sing Street quotes

  • Eamon: So how do you mean you're "happy-sad"?

    Darren: Yeah, how're we supposed to market that?

    Conor: It means we're not pop anymore.

    Eamon: We were pop? Listen, I'm happy being anything. I just want to play music.

    Conor: That's fine. Be who you are, Eamon.

    Eamon: Well, I don't know who I am. Maybe I'm happy-sad, too. I don't know.

  • Darren: What does "happy-sad" even mean? How can we be both things? It makes no sense.

    Conor: It means that I'm stuck in this shithole full of morons and rapists and bullies, and I'm gonna deal with it, okay? It's just how life is. I'm gonna try and accept it and get on with it, and make some art.

    Eamon: So how does that affect our music?

    Conor: Positively.
