Like Stone's "The Gate", "West Germany and Nancy", "Fame" and so on belong to this category.
I think audiences who don't like rock or don't understand it will not be interested in who the prototype is. The accidents they look at are and technology. But what will these viewers say to the stories inside? "Boring, rotten, perverted..." This kind of comment is not unfounded.
Most rock movies show drug use, promiscuity, and even without it, most of the process is a lost process.
One of the most unique perspectives is Van Sant's "The Last Days", which shows a person's despair and rebirth from a non-rock perspective, a very calm and even cautious wandering.
It's not that it's bad, Zi Zuijin fans did reflect a representative speculative attitude at that time. But I have to admit that it is not deep enough, or it is simply a tendency to infatuate.
In addition, the independent spirit of rock and roll is gradually replaced by the spirit of entertainment. "Rock School" is a classic example, which expounds the spirit of rock and roll positively, gets rid of the spiritual shackles, and develops one's body and mind. To die or to live is no longer a theme.
