Many times, we listen to rock, we play rock, we talk about rock, we scold those commercial record companies, despise those TV music talent shows, clamor for the ignorant and naive pop fans, pretending to be pretending to be fake in our eyes. The debate of rock and roll, constant listening and constant feeling, listened to hundreds of thousands of albums, and mp3 filled all the hard drives of the computer. Hey, friend, then I want to ask you, why do we have such an attitude toward these things, and why did we listen to rock in the first place? Where was the origin of the rock we came into contact with? Very good explanation, this movie. If you think you are a rock music fan, think that the instrument in your hand is rock and roll, and the yelling and singing in your mouth is still rock and roll, you should use your eyes, ears and brain to record this movie. You will find the explanation you want, remember, just an explanation, not an answer. This is an autobiographical film about a 15-year-old boy interviewing a band on tour in order to write for Rolling Stone magazine. And the story of the protagonist is exactly what the screenwriter and director Cameron Crowe experienced when he was 15 years old——————Cameron Crowe wrote an article about new bands as a critic of Rolling Stone magazine in 1973, when he was 15 years old. The footage of the film is less documentary, and more similar to the narrative and editing of feature films. The protagonist William’s microphone pen and paper records his following interviews with the band Stillwater’s attitude and ambivalence towards life, music, and rock. When Russell, the core character of the band, faced William's questions one by one, Russell did not give the exact answer to the question we often argued over-what is rock? What is the rock spirit? He just gave us explanations, yes, just explanations, and the thinking and understanding of these explanations is just a personal question for every fan and musician who has expectations of rock and roll. I think there are two explanations for rock and roll, one is music style and the other is spirit. The latter is often carried by the former. How do you feel a spiritual level from the former? Rock and roll is a very personal thing like sex. Everyone’s feelings and understanding are different. I can’t use the spiritual analysis to judge what this movie wants to tell us-what is rock. I can only make my understanding from the musical level. The band in the film, Stillwater is a second-rate rock band with a reputation for music fans, but it hasn't reached the level of SupperStar. The current situation and problems of this band are what most rock bands have experienced and faced: warming up for big-name and well-known bands, bus tours across the country, crowded by a group of women, casual sexual relations, marijuana drugs, the music soul of the band and The disagreement of the team and the ambivalence of choosing music or business in the face of money, fame and fortune. These various records are typical of rock musicians. During the tour, you can exchange women for board games on the table, you can indulge yourself on the stage, and you can be crazy in the clouds in the hotel. The behavior of rock musicians has a contradictory and confused understanding of what rock is. "Why play music" "Because it makes us look cooler" Very real thoughts. Not for the sacred rock spirit or to make a lot of money. Several young people started playing this so-called rock music style just to make themselves cooler and different. When Russell asked William to utter this sentence before performing on stage, I suddenly found it funny, what is the spirit of rock and what music, when we are thinking about some rock and roll questions that never have an answer. , Nothing exists. You can say that guitarist Russell’s motivation for playing rock music is pure- -Just to make yourself cooler, you can also say that they are just a pseudo-rock band dressed in gorgeous rock and roll, but in fact grandstanding pseudo-rock bands-no rock spirit. It’s just that once the pure motive is truly on the stage, and after being so hysterical and unhesitating in front of thousands of people on the stage, he feels that it is a struggle in some aspects, from reality --- fame and fortune, but also from himself. Attitudes towards rock and music-----how there is a commonality between music and spirit. And when William went to interview the other members of the band, they were at a loss or didn’t know what the purpose of playing music was, everything also explained the meaningless state of rock, as both music and spirit. . "If someone says that he doesn't like his music to be popular, he must be a coward. I have studied the entire history of music, and usually the most outstanding music is often the most popular. If you insist on saying that being popular is bad, then At best, I forgive myself because of popularity, but I never forgive myself easily, how about you?" Russell said to William who was full of doubts. A very powerful sentence is also the most powerful counterattack for every guy who likes to rely on rock and roll pretense. It is also a powerful explanation that the charm of good music is not because of the commercial operation that makes it popular, but because of the excellence of the music itself. When the editor of Rolling Stone magazine eagerly asked William about the content of the interview manuscript, when the new agent hoping to make a lot of money came to the band to plan for the band how to get more money in the future, music really is no longer music, music thinks The spirit of expressing thoughts has been replaced by matter and others. The editors of Rolling Stone Magazine are not concerned about the band music itself, but the intrigue between band members to tear down the stage. The economic man only wants to make a sensational performance in a crowded city to gain popularity. The band members seem confused and contradictory, because this state of life is no longer the simplest purpose for them when they first started playing rock music. Go forward to gain more fame and fortune or stand still and wait to be replaced by another band? In this state, they chose to continue their journey, no matter what the purpose, to continue, touring, screaming, lost, sensual, crazy. During the band’s flight touring, some small accidents happened. Everyone thought they were going to die. Everyone confessed their true inner thoughts and what they had done. In the face of death, the inner confusion, struggling and contradictions seem insignificant, and the attitude of those people towards life is not as meaningless or nihilistic as the lyrics they sing on stage. At that time, no one was thinking, no one was thinking whether my music was cool or not , No one thinks about how much more money I can make, no one thinks about whether I should continue to stick to my music or compromise with the record company, no one is thinking about, hey, I still rock or not. Everyone just repents what they have done to ask for forgiveness. At this moment, there is no bullshit rock spirit, the kind of thing that many believe in the philosophy of life is so ridiculous in the face of death. After getting out of danger, get off the plane, very calm, everyone. William is gone. "Write whatever you want," Russell said. In the editorial room of Rolling Stone Magazine, no one believed that a fifteen-year-old child was a writer, and no one believed the manuscript written by William. The incredible and interesting band story that made the editors was true. The editors confirmed the authenticity of the manuscript with the band members. Denied, yes, the band members want to be famous and want William to get along well during the interviews on the way to follow the band to try to conceal the band’s problems. So that his articles can praise the band more. But the fifteen-year-old child didn't think so much. He was still a child, and his attitude towards rock and music was just his idealism. He wrote a true story, but everything was rejected. The band's road to fame also seems to be far away. When everything calmed down, when Russell seemed to understand something, he came to William's house and he told William that he called Rolling Stone magazine and what William wrote was true. "Then Russell, tell me, what do you like about music?" "All" So, life continues, Stillwater is still the second-rate Stillwater band that continues to tour by bus instead of plane. William and his conservative mother continued to live. In any case, life is still going on. If I really want to say what rock and roll is, I will leave a bunch of rock records under the bed and leave my conservative mother to pursue my sister who dreams of a flight attendant. After graduating from high school at the age of fifteen, a man followed the rock band's national tour of William who wrote for the magazine. My sister came back as a flight attendant, and William followed the interview to end. In 1973, when the rock craze and the hippie movement gradually receded, what was left to that generation? One thousand people have a thousand Hamlet in their hearts, perhaps freedom, liberation, equality, or rebellion, madness, and depravity. But we are independent, alone, independent , In front of death is so ridiculous. After getting out of danger, get off the plane, very calm, everyone. William is gone.
