finally I found the most The exciting part is that they all came to New York and prepared to perform at Carnegie Hall. They were strange and surprised at the place "America". Two old men over 150 years old were facing the dolls such as Marilyn Monroe in the window. Point and point, "Who is this?"
Quoting Rolling Stone’s comment “Behind every magnificent song is a beautiful story”, it’s not just the music that is almost forgotten, but the lives of some people, and the past decades of Cuba as a whole. The epitome of historical changes.
My father has a soft spot for Cuba, and Castro is simply his idol. Dad has been in the United States for a while. I think because of the continuous sanctions imposed by the United States on Cuba, Americans’ curiosity about Cuba has never ceased, and Dad has also been deeply affected. He often talked about the sunny beaches of Cuba, especially the health care there, "the best in the world", the old man said, "Look at Castro." Indeed, people all over the world are very curious about Castro's great body. In Wesley's novel, Castro is the dictator who always trades with aliens to buy cloned bodies.
But if you look at this movie, you know why so many people live longer in Cuba. Not only music, some of them have smoked cigars for 85 years (starting by smoking cigars for grandma at the age of 5), some are the greatest pianists, but they still buy lottery tickets to be hawkers, some say, women flowers It is the most wonderful thing in the world. Someone yelled "I haven't lived enough." They love life and enjoy life, no matter what life gives them.
That's why the ending credits are particularly outstanding. In Cuba, they were not respected or enshrined as great musicians, but they still received crazy applause at Carnegie Hall in New York. Maybe they have a hard life all their lives, but when they wander on the busy streets of New York, they still try every phone booth, wanting to "make a call back to Cuba." And they still maintained an extremely childlike innocence in their old age.
Wenders is worthy of his reputation, and the lens is extremely good. I love the scenes he arranged the most. Every old man is arranged in a particularly empty place. The empty gymnastics rehearsal hall, the bench in the middle of the empty park, the empty bar, and the empty street make people have to Focusing completely on the protagonist, the sense of distance caused by this emptiness is just like what he wanted to express "a tribute to the predecessors of music."
In fact, documentaries are very utilitarian. First, there are no plot twists, second without the help of actors, and third without the grandeur of the fake set. The story of every documentary is of course great, but how to really tell these great places clearly depends on the goods in the director's stomach. Of course, this is Wenders, so the street scene in Havana is so gorgeous, the use of camera following and DV is so skillful, and the switching between the concert hall and the daily camera is so tight.
I'm going to download the original soundtrack of this disc. Walking on the road, it sounds like I can't help but swing my waist to dance salsa.
