Regressed.

The collapse of Ireland in the 1980s left young people homeless, family, school, love, and the future of life, but in music, all of this has meaning.
Meeting, acquaintance, falling in love, running together, the movie is completely a love between two people, and the song takes up the bulk of it. When they set foot on the campus music stage, they felt that the whole plot had changed again, making me wonder whether his original intention of creating music was for his lover or for his own fame?
This is also the last elopement of this movie, but it makes people feel breathless.
Compared to starting again, the ages of the hero and heroine in this movie are more ambiguous. Is the hero a high school student in Mensao? The heroine is an unemployed young woman? The plot of chasing dreams is a bit old-fashioned, and elopement is even more boring. In the end, the male protagonist still took the lead, saving the young woman from the domestic violence man, and he became a follower. Why bother?
The other band members didn't show up, they just walked through the scene. I thought it would be a portrait of unemployed young people in Ireland, and it turned out to be a love music movie. This is also my dissatisfaction.
Isn't music the dream of all of them? Isn't it something that all of them want to break through? The results of it? Music is just an excuse, from beginning to end, it is an excuse for picking up girls.
Speaking of music, the love songs inside are sweet and greasy. I like the first and the last. The first is punk, riddles of the model, and the last is a mockery of the school supervisor. This is the youth fan.
In contrast, I still like recording songs on the streets of New York, and the struggle of two older unemployed adults.
In addition, I have seen it once, but I am not impressed, so I will check it another day.

Sing Street quotes

  • Eamon: So how do you mean you're "happy-sad"?

    Darren: Yeah, how're we supposed to market that?

    Conor: It means we're not pop anymore.

    Eamon: We were pop? Listen, I'm happy being anything. I just want to play music.

    Conor: That's fine. Be who you are, Eamon.

    Eamon: Well, I don't know who I am. Maybe I'm happy-sad, too. I don't know.

  • Darren: What does "happy-sad" even mean? How can we be both things? It makes no sense.

    Conor: It means that I'm stuck in this shithole full of morons and rapists and bullies, and I'm gonna deal with it, okay? It's just how life is. I'm gonna try and accept it and get on with it, and make some art.

    Eamon: So how does that affect our music?

    Conor: Positively.
