This film is divided into two parts. The first part is looking for and the second part shows life. During the process of looking for it, Rodriguez's music is interspersed in it. I was also deeply attracted by these music, and kept thinking about what kind of person he was.
I'm someone who knows very little about the rock music of the 70's, other than a few names, I don't really understand their lasting influence, but after listening to these songs in the film, I even know Excited to cry, perhaps this is the power of music, it can reach the heart and relieve the loneliness in the heart. Those questioning and thinking about life, those depicting and puzzling about one's own situation, can arouse profound resonance for everyone who is good at observing the surrounding environment. You may keep wondering who the person who wrote these songs is, is he a melancholy poet who roams bars and street corners every night, making a living from words and music?
"Sugar Man" at the beginning of the film, I thought it was a nursery rhyme at first, because the melody is catchy, the rhythm is lively, the imagery is beautiful, the silver ship, Palm Springs, fresh like the scenery in Disney animation. When I watched it for the second time, I realized that "Sugar Man" turned out to be a drug dealer, and I immediately felt that the reality was too cruel. These beautiful scenes were actually fantasies after drug addiction. Crossovers make people go deeper and understand the ugliness of life, but no matter what, the illusion of nothingness can rise from sin, and flowers can bloom from the stagnant waters of despair.
In the second half of the film, the winding path leads to the secluded, and it suddenly opens up, creating a beautiful psychedelic. The crazy cheers and the much-anticipated splendor are no longer brought by "Super Man", but real. It exists, but the reality is so unbelievable that it seems fake.
Even in such a beautiful reality that is not created by taking drugs, our protagonist is still calm. I have long been aware of my own achievements, but I just accept it with peace of mind. Why is he different from us ordinary people?
It seems that underappreciated talent will always be full of complaints, and sometimes bad luck will inevitably lead to persistence. When you know that you have been very popular, you can't help but feel that your life seems complete. But there is one person who is different. Rodgris told us that we can also achieve a kind of peace between ourselves and ourselves, and people who do hard labor can also have beautiful feelings and beautiful music.
Just imagine that the person who laid the floor or installed the lamps in your house is a poet of music, isn't it incredible? Is it more incomprehensible that he still came back and continued to lay the floors after dozens of games were sold out and received countless screams and flowers? In fact, his existence is to tell you that there is peace in your heart, and there are mountains everywhere.
