The original intention of watching this movie was because it was a music movie, and I thought about the idea of watching it and listening to the song casually. After watching it, I searched it again and found out that it is still a religious movie. Although I am not religious, this is the most touching movie I have watched during a summer vacation.
I have seen some short comments, saying that the plot of the movie is old-fashioned and there is nothing outstanding about it. I think it’s probably because you don’t have a strict father, no similar experience, and you don’t appreciate the music inside, so you find it plain and unremarkable. This is originally a movie that affects emotions. You have no experience or emotion, and you think the movie is good. Strange. And the filming is great! (Personal opinion, don't spray, don't use it)
When the protagonist Bart was young, his father was violent towards the family, just like the family was his catharsis. Although my father was not like this and it was not like this, but Bart was overwhelmed with his father when he ran away from home. I have deep feelings for certain emotions in "feet".
My father has been strict with me since I was a child, almost rigid. Every day except for homework and study, other things are not allowed to touch, even sports such as table tennis and basketball. I have resisted but I can’t help my father’s feather duster, and in the movie Bart's hatred of his father when he was young, and even his dissatisfaction with his father when he was growing up, those emotions are just like going back to the past for me.
So I followed the foreshadowing of the movie and came after Bart ran away from home. How much I want Bart to know that his father has cancer sooner. I want Bart to cherish his father as soon as possible. No matter how he was before, he will always be his father.
Because now I have also grown up, my father has not been strict with me, and my father has become kind, so from the bottom of my heart, I forgive the past feelings to a certain extent. Naturally, I also want Bart to let go of it sooner, and have an explanation to his past self and father, which is the forgiveness I hope.
But Bart did it, and my father did it himself. What I was moved by was not who I used to be, but my father.
Because the movie allows me to understand my father's thoughts from another angle, see my father's perspective, and understand what my father does. I understand why my father would dismiss his son’s dreams, and even crush them. It’s just reality destroying the father himself, and the father understands that instead of letting the child try to dream and fail, it’s better than the child’s unrealistic dreams. Existence, so there is a series of violence, which can be regarded as the love of the father, but the way is outrageous.
But then the father learned that he had cancer and knew that he was running out of time, so naturally he wanted to spend more time with his son. For example, Bart was going to church to sing that morning, and the father took the initiative to make breakfast for his son, but the father's original thoughts were , The majesty that he had been accustomed to for a long time was offended by Bart, who had discovered the New World and started to find his way a little bit, so the two naturally had a big fight. Bart's departure was the true beginning of his father's own reflection.
But after Bart came back, he didn’t know his father’s cancer, and his reaction to his father’s attitude change was also great, because it contained Bart’s opinions about his father all the time. He was so angry that he smashed his car, but the father was more angry with him.
And when Bart helped his father go back to the basement bedroom to rest, the surroundings were covered with dust. I could feel the deep sense of loneliness from Bart's perspective, the feeling of his father alone when Bart was away from home. Obviously his father is old, he needs company, needs Bart's care, needs Bart to give him a chance.
In the movie, what I started to cry was the scene where my father left Bart’s dream-catching savings at the end of the day. Those were all his father did his best to give Bart. In the end, my father still loved Bart very much. It can also be understood from beginning to end. Father loves Barthes very much, but in different ways, and belief in religion is just a way to change the direction, but the driving force is always love for Barthes.
The film uses interspersed shots to tell Bart’s process of composing the song, and even at the end Bart’s revolving close-up around Bart after singing the song on stage, and the switching between fantasy and reality is moving.
The plot is naturally boring and old-fashioned in the eyes of people who have not entered the movie, but in my eyes, the real thing is like this. Do you still need those fancy to express those parts of life and memories?
Another point is that choosing Dennis Quaid to play his father is great. His acting skills show his father's sternness, stubbornness, etc. In the end, the kindly and joyous smile of the father that Bart imagined can be said to be a concern for me. The door of the door was finally hammered gently.
Thanks for letting me see this movie, thanks!
In the end, it is the first time I really wrote a film review.
