1/ Gotta applaud the director for the documentary that made me forget time passing The bonus of the sound effect illustration makes people focus on the TS mental journey from the symbolic meaning, and at the same time more resonates with her inner feelings
2/ So, what's the point? Saw some people say inspired to be a better self but the key to the film is why&how TS broke her previous belief system and reconstructed a new one which proved to make her feel more powerful, happy and true to herself. I see A TS who is always challenging himself, from music to so-called faith. She said, "One has to have a constant strategy to not feel ashamed when looking back at what they have done." The fruit of it is only the appearance of what happened last.
3/ The film does not emphasize TS's efforts in music to explain it in the gossip/scandal, but let me see it in a side way: it seems that no matter what happens, she will never give up music She and music become one, this is her means of self-expression. But how many people can hone their technique of using the means to such a level of proficiency? Words that rhyme right out of the mouth. Brilliant video ideas. A steady stream of scenes in the mind. The film does not clarify the scandal, but instead focuses on why TS felt so painful and how it changed during the rest period. This is also one of the joys of watching this film: I finally know how each song came from! I finally understand the lyrics???
