For 15- or 16-year-old dream-chasing teenagers, what remains the same is that they also have a musical dream. Director John Carney is a full-fledged director. He abandoned the first-line Hollywood cast and chose a group of amateurs with musical backgrounds to appear. In this way, it makes the film more real. He also calls it a natural and organic Kids' movie. Compared with the other two "Once" and "Begin Again" in the music movie trilogy, this "Sing "Street" is more "honest", interpreting the "happy-sad" of dream-chasing teenagers from the perspective of teenagers.

Love | When the fantasy "band" meets the mysterious "model"

She appeared across the street from the school in a posture of keeping no one close, with a silk scarf wrapped around her neck, a pair of large golden earrings hanging under her earlobes, and an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth. In the eyes of fellow Conor, Raphina is an extremely arrogant being.

In Conor's mind, she is a near-perfect human being.

"The way she talks and the way she looks, her eyes when she takes off her sunglasses, it's like clouds crossing the moon, and sometimes, I just wish I could just see her."

For the future London model, he walked forward with the thick bruised teenager who had just been bullied at the corner of his eyes:

"Do you want fire?

No, I am quitting smoking.

I have no fire either. "

After the collaboration on the first song, Conor took Raphina for a leisurely stroll around the quiet road in Dublin at night. Raphina laughed and complained: You are the slowest biker I have ever seen.

The flirting skills are simply max!!

And as Conor told his brother:

Some people are much more interesting when you don't know them, and they can be anything you want; but when you do, they're going to have some deficiencies in one way or another.

All the chips in the boy's hand are lyrics made up of tender notes. What he has to contend against is a mature man who drives a convertible. This man has a plane ticket to a foreign country and has the boy's dream come true. The priority of the model's wishes, among them, is separated by a dream capital - London.

After Raphina finished filming the second MV, Conor and her looked at the other side of the island and sighed:

- When the weather is good, you can clearly see the British islands, just 30 miles off the coast of Wales, and you can see it as soon as the rain stops and there is no dust in the air. My grandfather worked on the boat to Holyhead and he used to bring me here and we used to go out fishing in his little boat.

— so I can wave to you when I get back to London.

—My brother told me that all the great artists had to leave the island, and those who stayed were depressed and alcoholics.

Until Raphina was abandoned by her boyfriend, she lost her thick makeup and replaced it with light makeup. This little detail was like a real examination of herself. Wearing a blue sweater, she squatted on the bench with her knees bent, like an injured deer.

Dream | The note of youth, the passport to the future world

Divorced parents were bullied by classmates and made trouble by teachers. Before meeting Raphina, Conor seemed to be walking on the ground in the dark night. Until the appearance of this enigmatic model who doesn't eat human fireworks, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world and instantly lit up, from makeup to dreams.

This trick originally started from flirting with girls, (at the beginning of the story, the female protagonist said to the male protagonist, "Since you are in the band, sing me a song. You will sing in front of thousands of people in the future, I just One of them.") has become a lever to shake his musical dreams.

Compared to his brother, Conor was simply too lucky, and the journey was smooth sailing. You see, the model didn't care about the danger of drowning for the sake of artistic effect, jumped up, and said, "This is for our art, you can't do it halfway." There is also the beacon of my brother, the music dream that I can't realize, and the younger brother will take over the baton to complete it. The vinyl records handed over are actually more like the process of handing over my dreams one by one.

After the second family meeting of the whole family, the brother who seemed to live the most unrestrained and unrestrained finally took off his heavy disguise and poured out his anguish. This body trapped by the island was once a jet engine. . Falling off his beloved vinyl record and turning against himself, this seemingly powerful man, his dream was ruthlessly kidnapped by this family, this isolated island, and this era.

In fact, I still like the character of my brother the most in the whole film. He is like a luminous body and will help my brother to elope with his sweetheart and dreams, and let them ride the wind and waves to the depths of the sea in a boat. It seems that the open ending of HE just cleverly leaves the subsequent problems of future life to us movie watchers themselves.

Happy or sad doesn't matter, as long as you remember you were your own captain.
