Opposite of regular drama

"The Sound of Light", I thought it was related to music, but it turned out to be a school shooting when the friendly teacher in the classroom was suddenly shot, and the brave female student was shot. Then ten minutes later, the end-of-title subtitles...? ? ? But it’s actually related to music (although the last concert clip is also a bit strange, the female protagonist’s appearance as a queen does not match her singing voice...)-because of the shooting, the female lead sang a song and left. Entering the path of performing arts; taking the path of performing arts, the character becomes weird and strong; under the weird and strong, the heart is actually very fragile. The old trance thought of "The Queen of the Voice" (maybe because her sister said that the song was actually written by her, and vaguely thought that the star behind the heroine was about to collapse), and also thought of "Black Swan" (maybe the heroine sometimes looks very hard-talking People think it will darken). But there is nothing... the director is very annoying. He just doesn’t follow the routine of regular feature films. After watching it, I am at a loss, as if I haven’t waited for anything. For example, the movie suddenly ends when a shooting occurs at a concert. The shooting incidents experienced by the times, the crime of the shooter wearing the mask in her MV during the comeback, plus this ending constitute a complete line of clues. Of course, as viewers, we follow our thoughts, the director is not in the routine, but can be different. It just feels really unfriendly to the audience...
