I don't care how the world treats me, I know that I love the world enough.

Let me live in my own world and be what people call a freak. ——Introduction This is an R-rated literary and artistic film in 2014, with a score of 7.0 on IMDb. The director Abrahamson's most famous work is ROOM. There is not much to elaborate on the cast. , Fa Shark played a geek wearing a hood throughout the whole process, and only showed his side at the end. In short, this is a serious literary film, a dark humor film with a grotesque tone. The film tells the story of Jon, an office worker who loves music, meets a quirky band who live and make music together in a remote wooden house somewhere in Ireland. During the period, Jon posted their lives on the Internet. Finally, their experiences came to the fore.

Everyone in this band is not normal, Don having sex with the puppets, Clara the grumpy, the exclusive Nana and guitarist, and Frank, a brilliant genius who wears a hood all the time, even in the shower The weirdo who doesn't take it off. Among this group of people, only Jon is a normal person who joined halfway. I think, maybe this is the reason why the director chose to shoot from Jon's perspective - to observe them from the perspective of a normal person. Unlike Frank and Clara, Dan and Jon aspire to fame. Dan sings the song, his disease is still not cured, and at the same time he resists his disease. After the album was recorded, Dan committed suicide, wearing Frank's headgear - he envied Frank's talent. As he himself said, "There can only be one Frank here." I think Clara is the most sober in the whole film, she resists going to the festival because she knows very well what kind of people they are, not normal The world cannot be integrated into normal society. She wanted to protect Frank, they just had to encourage each other. But at this time, Frank yearned for the outside world and took the first step. The first part is the happiest part of the whole film. They are free and live the life they want. For them, this is their ideal land and utopia. It's not so much that they're recording a new album, it's that they're living at ease in their own world. When they came to the festival, they found that they couldn't fit in with the normal world. Jon forced Frank to take off his hood - Frank's hood was his protection in this world. And the torn hood meant that Frank had to leave his world. Frank and Jon represent two kinds of people. Jon is an ordinary person who wants to go to Frank's world and have the same talent as Frank; Frank originally lived in his own world, but Jon let him see the outside world, so he Want to go to the outside world. After Jon sent Frank back to the band, he left their world. They belonged to different worlds, and after briefly intermingling, they soon fell apart and returned to their respective orbits. When Frank tearfully sings "I love you" to the band members

    The film pits mediocrity and show, kitsch and art. In fact, art is also an expression, seeking readers/listeners is also a way to establish expression. Like electricity or water, it finds a way and starts to flow. Just, between coming and going, don't be confused, that's fine.

    Many people sympathized with the obstacles and trauma of the music freak, but he was lucky. You are obsessed with a creation and are good at it. Isn’t that the key to a wonderful life? The real poor are those mediocre people who work hard. This movie is not sympathy for artists who cannot enter the world, but a mockery of ordinary people who pursue art. It tells you that the essence of talent is talent. Without the 1% inspiration, you 99 % Of efforts are in vain.

Frank quotes

  • Jon Burroughs: What goes on inside that head... inside that head?

  • Jon Burroughs: [narration] Despite all the hardships I have suffered here, something inside me is beginning to stir. I've come to realize that this is my Bluff, Kansas. That here in Vetno, I have found my abusive childhood, my mental hospital. That which pushes me to my furthest corners.
