Let us follow the Yankees back to the 60s and 70s, the age of rock music glory and dreams, the age of geniuses.
As the director’s autobiography, the film allows a 15-year-old boy to witness the growth, joy, pain and helplessness of the second-rate rock band "Stillwater" from the perspective of an outsider. There is passion, dreams, love and abacus, as well as anger and anger. Dissatisfaction, anyway, these are all part of rock.
They also witnessed rock music together, witnessed the glorious era of David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, and Bob Dylan. We can also see the struggle, submission and integration of "immortal rock" and the music industry. When Stillwater listened to the advice of the agent When you boarded the plane and abandoned the bus that accompanied them all the way behind you, you can feel William's sorrow, and then think of Lester's prophecy about the end of rock music.
Of course, the outsider cannot be just an outsider, he must share everything as a member, even though Penny said "You
are too sweet for Rock'n Roll", he still did not leave, and grew up here and fell in love.
Yes, this is a...epic about rock? Forget it, forget the word, this is a rock music about rock music, it is not Punk, not Metal, not Gothic, it is everything, just like the word rock.
I like their "truth or adventure" when the plane was about to crash, tearing off the skin of hypocrisy and pretending to be noble, no matter good or evil, noble or humble, beautiful or ugly, when they merge together, they can become a team. A real band plays real music.
So I hate false propositions such as "what rock is good". Usually such stupid propositions will lead to countless fans attacking and despising each other. In fact, rock and roll is the most inclusive music in the world. It has never been distinguished from high or low. As long as it is true, it is good.
After watching this movie, I almost got the urge to dig out the guitar making a little noise in the middle of the night, even though I only have a few simple chords.
just forget it.
PS: I like Zooey Deschanel with big eyes. Remember last year's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?
In addition, I swear that I have watched this movie's discs hundreds of thousands of times, but I haven't bought it every time. I don't know why.
