Musical movies have always been tough to crack.
There are only a handful of good music movies out there. In addition to Anglo-American and French, few filmmakers from other countries are involved. This "God Helps Girls" directed by Stewart Murdoch (also translated "Love Song" in 2014) highlights the strength of British filmmakers in this regard.
The Scottish Highlands, together with cities like Glasgow, have always been a place of cold beauty that people yearn for. The girl Eva came from Australia, but she can only stay in a mental sanatorium and pass the boring time by writing some music she likes.
The summer flowers are swaying, and the heart is sprouting. She ran out of the bondage place, came to the concert hall and came into the crowd, where she met James and the girl C, who also liked music. The three meet to form an original band.
Little stars, melodious music. Eve's psychological recovery would not be immediate. But music, as the punctual standard of the healing department, relieved her depressed mind. After several twists and turns, a girl who looked forward to using music to heal her inner predicament finally opened her gloomy heart through a rare friendship and moved towards a new rebirth, which is undoubtedly full of positive energy.
There are more than ten original songs in the film, the first one is clear, beautiful and interesting. The pictures are full of crossover, and the comprehensive skills of the film are fully utilized, so that the vitality of youth is always full of tension in the rippling of singing. When the singing will appear depends on the plot. If it is too hasty, it will be abrupt and clumsy. It is precisely in this aspect that the film is just right without showing any traces.
The freely retractable music movie, like the wind passing through the bamboo, can wake up the sleepy soul even though it does not make a sound. Wild geese cross the cold pond, and the song does not leave a picture, but it can make us unforgettable, which is really rare.
