Ordinary is your home

I have to admit that the core of this story is too tmsad.

Let's talk about the story first. The ordinary young John has a musical dream, thinking of writing his own music one day. Until one day he met the Freak Band, and he was so excited that he finally had a place to flex his muscles. Pay for the band and try to write songs to prove your talent. During the period, the band's bits and pieces were uploaded to YouTube, and a music festival took a fancy to them and invited them to perform. At this moment, the collapse of the band gradually became apparent. Freaks' music is, after all, made for itself. Even if Frank tried hard, he was still defeated at the feet of the secular society.

You think good music is made through a lot of pain. In fact, it is just innate talent. Even if you try your best to try, I'm sorry, they don't like what you do at all. You think that you are integrating into their world step by step, but in fact you are always an outsider. And the genius Frank, too, wants to integrate into this secular world and doesn't want to let down the people who like him. In fact, after all, what you do is for yourself and the people around you to see, and what is popular in secular society, you cannot force yourself to think it is a good thing.

The film unfolds from John's perspective, allowing people to see the whole thing more from the perspective of ordinary people. Maybe, from the very beginning, your circle has been set, and all you can do is to take a glimpse of the scenery of that world, and you will eventually come to your own small ordinary world.

Frank quotes

  • Jon Burroughs: Miserable childhood. Mental illness. Where do I find that kind of inspiration?

  • Frank: I've always dreamed of one day having a band member who shared my vision of creating extremely likable music. So, thank you, Jon. You gave me the little push I needed.
