I want drums, not melody

It is easy for people to get bored with a kind of life, perhaps because they have been in a certain environment for too long, and they have seen themselves too thoroughly and fear. Walter is such a person. For 20 years, he has tried to restore his life to the way his wife was before his death, but everything is in vain. He just keeps spinning around in his original position. Maybe it is really because he is not talented enough, but if We only want to take pictures and how to create a new life. What he has repeated for 20 years may be our unstoppable affairs from birth to now. You can't ignore this universal law that is driving us, let Everything becomes safe and self-preserving. We dare not try to use our heads to break through the sense of resistance in the plastic wrap, and we will not be able to let ourselves fall into a certain abyss and experience the end of life. As Tarek said, you do not experience this situation in this situation. There is no deep hatred inside.
Regarding the transformation of an old man, there is a lack of new ideas, so the director involved the old man in an illegal immigration storm. Interestingly, Walter is also an expert in developing countries, but the international situation is surging forward. He is always stagnant. He likes the new and dislikes the old or the sadness of the spring and the autumn. The seasons always alternate, so we borrow the name of the season to indulge our never specific emotions.
The soundtrack of the film is very symmetrical. The substantively boring life, to the djembe and the quiet passion of the old. When Tarek went into the wrongful prison, he returned to the entanglement and entanglement of the piano. Regardless of the director’s party color, the intention of discussing immigration issues has been roughly manifested. And what is really moving in the film is just a small trade-off. Walter sold the piano, played with African drums on the subway platform with a passion that was disproportionate to his age, and finally the figure was crushed by the Mercedes-Benz train. Or this is it. All "comfort syndrome" people can't imagine the picture.
When a person discards classical music and finds another kind of "drumming", can it be said that he has betrayed his own class? Immigrants are a unique class, they can use pure Handmade bracelets occupy your wrists, or they can break through the windows and occupy your life. In American society, all classes and classes are not so distinct, even if they have inferiority or self-sufficiency in their hearts.
