The bracket starts, 1962-1990, the bracket ends. The mark of the year of birth and death is stamped on the screen, a kind of imprint of life time appears cruel, it seems to mark not the length of life, but the end point that came to an abrupt end: in 1990, as the greatest rock band "Keno" The lead singer, Victor Choi, known as the "Father of Soviet Rock and Roll", died in a car accident shortly after his concert at the famous Luzhniki Stadium.
And when this series of birth and death year numbers was hit on the screen, Victor was singing rock songs on the stage to his heart. He was passionate, he was full of pride, even if only in the Leningrad "Rock Club". "In this small theater, Victor is still immersed in the great enthusiasm of the rock world, and the people underneath clapped hands and sang together. But when the mark of life became a kind of comment, it seemed that the death behind him was surging, and the band’s name was changed to "Keno Band", Victor, whose flowing hair was cut short, when he sang that song. Song, it seems that all this has become a prophecy: "I know that my tree is destined to grow for no more than a week..." A week is short. When a tree has only one week of life, does it desire to grow quickly or accept The ravages of fate?
From 1962 to 1990, this was Victor’s birth and death mark. Outside of him, the Mike who was standing in the aisle and listening to the concert with his wife Natasha. String of numbers: 1955-1991-still a sign of the year of birth and death, still the cruelty of fate, still the death of rock and roll, and still the tree of life that will not exceed a week. Victor and Mike, the influential figures in the history of Soviet rock and roll, when they finally explained the process of life in a digital way, they seemed to become doubts about the rock itself—the deaths of Victor and Mike had nothing to do with conspiracy theories. However, "I would like to dedicate this film to the one I love" seems to have established a weird relationship between the impermanence of life and the fall of the world of rock and roll. Take away those memories at any time, take away those love, take away the tree of life.
Rock belongs to that midsummer, midsummer, "I bought a newspaper in the city", midsummer, "there is a grand concert today", midsummer, "thugs carry the iron-toothed tiger"... "Midsummer" is Mike's The masterpiece, Mike, who always wears sunglasses, has actually become a monument in the history of Soviet rock and roll. In his world, newspaper news, grand concerts, and thugs seem to have become a metaphor of the times. Living in Leningrad in the early 1980s, Mike seemed to deconstruct tradition in the world of rock and roll, interpreting passion in the dazzling light of midsummer, but in reality, Mike is not a non-mainstream existence. He Married to Natasha and gave birth to a child named Zegna, the rock band was registered in the rock club that "Soviet musicians must find all the good things in human nature", and the performance seemed to be only on the club stage-abide by Rules, observance of order, Mike's life is deduced in this reality.
When Victor found him and followed him into the world of rock and roll, the concepts of the two people actually had a certain conflict. In this conflict, on the one hand, Victor’s freedom injected more passion into Mike’s creation. , On the other hand, in front of the rules, they had to compromise or even make concessions. At the beginning, it was a contradiction between the two people. Mike’s philosophy was: "There are two kinds of wine, good to drink, and particularly good to drink." Music, or rock, is also like wine, and of course their goal is to do it. The kind of "very good", but in the very delicious interpretation, the two people are actually not consistent. On the beach, Victor and his companion Rorschach found their idol Mike and presented their own songs. Mike said, "Music Very good", but "Mom, Mom" was added in the "Lazy Ghost" at the end. Later, in Victor's "Eighth Grade Girl", Mike suggested to raise the key, or suggest that the songs be more lyrical. And Victor seemed to disagree with Mike’s opinion, "I don’t like being revised." So when Mike gave his opinion, Victor always insisted on himself, but as a leader, Victor had no choice but to give up his own. View.
The two people may only have different musical ideas, but as Victor gradually builds up a band and joins a rock club, he is confronted with a conflict of compromise or perseverance. To apply to join a rock club, the lyrics written must be reviewed. Ivanova is the founder of the club and the gatekeeper of the lyrics. When she heard Victor’s music "Eighth Grade Girl", the first question was It was: "What did this song criticize?" Mike answered first: "Criticized promiscuity." Ivanova asked, is this a comedy? Mike nodded, and when Ivanova asked Victor to answer by herself, Mike deliberately distracted the three members of the band and asked them to pour boiling water, and when the three came over with water glasses, under Mike’s efforts, these The songs have passed censorship, and as "comedy works" they express the club's mission of "Soviet musicians must find all the good things in human nature".
After joining the club, Victor’s rock career seems to have been legalized, but the contradiction still exists between him and Mike. The band’s drummer Oleg passed the conscription, and the band has no drummer. In order to release his own album, Victor hopes that the drummer part will be replaced by recordings, but Mike thinks that "this is not rock, this is disco." When recording the album, Victor finally couldn't stand the music that he had originally imagined, "This sound is too bad." While smoking in the hallway, the band member Rorschach said to him: "When the kids are in the hallway Sing your song, that is the real rock, don't care too much about the amateur effect of the recording." In desperation, Victor chose to enter the recording studio again. Let the children like their own songs and sing their own songs, is it really rock? Victor once answered this question. At a small promotion meeting composed of professionals, someone asked Victor, what is the concert in your dream? He said a word: Everyone, everybody likes it, everybody carves, it is the real rock and roll, it is the concert in the dream, and this is obviously not the "children" that Rorschach said, the kind of "for children" Music in the sense of education is undoubtedly the existence of rules, just as Ivanova defines them as a "new comedy rock band", it is nothing more than a product of censorship.
Therefore, for Victor, and even for Mike, when the rock world is restricted by these rationalized rules, the spirit of freedom is slowly fading, and the feeling of "midsummer" fanaticism is gradually fading—their carnival. , Their passion, their destructiveness, happened in another imaginary world: on the train returning from a beach vacation, facing passengers accusing them of their music is "scream like a beast", it is "American enemies sing Everyone began to subvert the song, they played pranks among the passengers, they beat those who slandered, and sang loudly in a world that completely deconstructed the order, but the man with glasses held up a sign: "None of this happened. "When Victor and Natasha brewed a new song, they sat on the bus, and all the passengers in the car began to sing the song. Even the site announcement and the conductor’s speech turned into rock and roll. While driving, the man with glasses riding a bicycle said to the camera: "This didn't happen." After the small concert exchanges, as the music started, everyone began to dance frantically. Victor sang with everyone, the man with glasses In the crowd, he said to the camera: "This is not true. "...
Music sounds at any time, everyone will sing, or this is what Victor said in the dream concert, and everyone is "everyone", this is true freedom, and it truly conforms to the spirit of rock and roll, and it is midsummer. A portrayal of, but when all this turns into an illusion like a MV, when all this has never happened, the world returns to reality. Music is separated by two worlds, one is the eruption of emotions, the other is the convergence of emotions, the other is imaginative, the other is the rules, the other is the music itself, and the other is the restriction of the rules, so In the great loss of "this has never happened", everything in those dreams is nothing but illusory existence, it cannot reach reality, let alone change reality, there is no "grand concert" in midsummer, no "with iron teeth" "Tiger" thugs, and it is precisely because the tree of freedom was predicted to grow for a week, so both Victor and Mike chose restraint.
This kind of restraint shows a kind of tolerance in the relationship between Mike, Victor and Natasha. Natasha sneaked into the club with her female partner and held a heart-shaped sign to show her love. It was a proof of their love, but when Victor appeared, this relationship was threatened. On the beach, Nata Sha and Victor are together. This is their first meeting. It seems that the ambiguity has been passed on. Mike looked at them and said: "Eventually she will create a scandal." As Victor went in and out of Mike more and more frequently. In his home, the relationship between him and Natasha has also become delicate. They ate the heart-shaped tomatoes together, they walked together and bought priceless cups and double-strength coffee, and they bathed their child Zegna together, but What Natasha told Mike was: "I want to kiss Victor, but guilt will kill me." It seemed to be a kind of trust, and Mike didn't feel angry, but said, "Go kiss. "When Natasha faced Victor, she also told him: "Mike allows me to kiss you." Victor said, "Is there written permission?"
Natasha did not hide from Mike, Mike was not angry with Natasha, Victor wanted the so-called permission again, it seemed that they both gave each other a kind of freedom: Natasha really kissed Victor, but it was only After kissing, she introduced her best friend Mariana to Victor; and Mike knew that the scandal was unstoppable, and it didn’t matter on the surface, but when he was alone, he was suffering. He stood alone in the pouring rain. , Standing in the phone booth, did not make a call to Natasha, he felt a kind of thoroughness in the heavy rain, and a woman entered the phone booth, the coins were swallowed time and time again, she and Mike walked together in despair, "Did you get kicked out by your girlfriend? I was kicked out by my father. I took a plane from Vladivostok because I was so proud." The two seemed to be sick and pity each other, and Mike was getting caught in the heavy rain. After I got it through, I went to Boris again as if I was okay, "I want to write a meaningless song." After the song was written, it seemed that the emotion had ended, and when I returned home, I lay next to Natasha as if I was okay. .
Two people were lying down, quietly and terribly, but in fact everyone was struggling. After lying in the same direction, Mike turned around and turned his back to Natasha. Then the day broke, and then he got up, alone. When Natasha knew Mike’s pain, he said to Victor, “Mike is on the verge of patience.” Then he raised her hand when she left, “I can’t take my ring off. "A sign: I must return to the world of marriage. Did Victor really fall in love with Natasha? Did Natasha find a different love from Mike? Will Mike really break out? In this end of tolerance and retreat, love seems to be hidden in the heart, marriage seems to maintain the status quo, and all this is also a rule and order, just like the man in glasses said when he held a sign facing the camera, this The love story is not true, "It never happened."
The band "Garlin and the Hyperbola" has been renamed, Victor’s hairstyle has changed, and love ends on the ring that cannot be taken off. When Victor is performing passion on stage, the off-stage Mike walks out of the corridor ahead of time. Natasha was full of tears, staring at Victor, and then she also left behind, "I know that my tree is destined to grow for no more than a week..." So the passionate summer ended, and the grand concert ended. , So life becomes a string of numbers written in parentheses, just like the era when rules and order were emphasized, only it ever happened.
