I said in my Alice in Wonderland review: "I like two types of people, one is withdrawn and the other is crazy." I like them because I always feel that they have some unspeakable pain, that This kind of pain is indescribable, and the pain is so severe that it is fatal. Loneliness and madness are just two different ways they deal with pain. And I think my liking can bring some warmth to them.
So the legend about him at the beginning of the film: "But what about him? A blank... He set himself on fire on stage and burned himself alive in front of everyone's eyes... This is probably the weirdest suicide in rock history... The picture can be said to be ethereal. He is a lonely soul wandering in the city. Sometimes I can see him in the corner of the street. I thought he was no different from a homeless person. Knowing he had a home, he looked like he was going from shelter to shelter..." That got me very interested in him.
But after looking at it, I was surprised and pleasantly surprised that he was not such a person.
Compared to the reason I like the first two types of people, I feel distressed, and I like Rodriguez out of admiration and pursuit.
I want to be like him, master philosophy, understand art, and embrace life. I want to be like him, who likes to play guitar and watch shows when his talent is not seen. I want to be a person like him, who not only has a personal artistic pursuit, but can also speak out and do practical things for the weak and helpless. I want to be like him, treat everything like a sacrament, do the dirty work for 10 hours straight, but wear a tuxedo. I want to be someone like him who can go back to doing physical work in peace after such a dream concert.
He is not humiliated, but he has the world in his heart. I've seen too many people who want to be stars because they like a glamorous, popular life. And in this world of mediocrity, he is the real musician.
