I watched it today and I have to say that this film is really unattainable.
First of all, the exaggerated stage performance makes people feel very contrived. This kind of comical-like thing is more disgusting than "Les Miserables". The overall gloomy environment can be funny, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Secondly, the song itself is not contagious. Both the melody and the lyrics are so pale and weak. As soon as the protagonist starts with a few shit words, he is praised as a genius, inexplicably.
Third, the fantasy love of literary youth is disgusting. The pen is used to commit sexual obscenities, and the down-and-out young people in literary and artistic works can always get the heart of the goddess and win the love that transcends worldly money. Really bullshit.
