How did you become immortal?

Melville once said
arrogantly : "First become immortal, then die." The artist's pursuit of extreme gestures is always full of beauty, but the road to glory is often too harsh. It is almost the same as taking life for life, taking soul to prove, or as Rilke said: "The temperament of an artist can only be achieved outside the obligations of the world." In

junior high school I saw [She is lonelier than fireworks] ([ Hilary&Jackie]), but because the author is Baby Annie, the article is naturally strong and mysterious, and the background introduction is completely lacking. After watching a niche film about the paradoxes of the two sisters, I was not interested in it, and I didn't care about it, and then I regretted it. This is clearly a biographical film commemorating my beloved cellist Jacqueline du Pré (Jacqueline du Pré).

Watching this movie many years later, the mood is unexpectedly very complicated.
Biopic films have routines to follow, and naturally they will put gimmicks in them. Therefore, after watching it, the director often feels that he is over-conscious and unconscious. Emily Watson interprets Du Pree's demeanor, which is considered a shot in the heart, but I still have a burden, because I have been a fan of Du Pree's music since the first time I listened to Du Pree's CD in junior high school.

To be fascinated by a person, it is difficult not to pay attention to her life experience, and it is also difficult not to examine the viewpoints and narratives of the film.
Fortunately, the cello and piano performances in the film can withstand scrutiny. From the perspective of music fans, this film is worth recommending. If you indulge in the Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor played by Jackie in the film, you can rest assured that it is almost the same as Du Pré's recording in London in 1965.

Many people appreciate the translation of the film's title. It also fits the director's perspective to sum up Dupree's meteor-like short and brilliant career in six words. I prefer another much simpler title-"Crazy Love for Cello". Her whole life, from the beginning of her childhood, was one person, one piano. Later, her life was filled with long-distance flights and playing competitions. Needless to say, she was lonely. Several performers and musicians did not spend their lives like this. Rather than saying that she feels so much loneliness, it is better to say that her loneliness is the most worrying for us, because even in the camp of geniuses, she is special. She and her cello are themselves irreplaceable creations that cannot be copied.

In the film, she has a pair of smart eyes since she was a child. She and her sister Hilary are connected with each other and have their own private and beautiful little world. At that time, my sister was the one in the halo, and she surprised four people with a flute. Little Jackie moved his fingers in class and practiced piano skills vigorously, in order to be able to play on the same stage with her sister as soon as possible. That day soon came and passed quickly. She surpassed her sister and surpassed all the opponents in the competition. She began to perform solo concerts at the age of 16 and received the famous piano as an anonymous gift. She was going to Russia thousands of miles away to accept the master Rost. Robovich’s guidance. After that, she will win awards, she will go to parties, she will meet her intimate partner in her short life, and the movie is also here, starting to enter the realm that may be contrary to reality.

Daniel Barenboim (DanieI Barenboim) is treated charmingly and cruelly in the film. He played the piano in the salon, pressing 88 keys up and down, his skills were mature and his affection flowed, so close friends such as Jackie couldn't help but look at him. He also saw her in the crowd at a glance, and listened to him with great interest. His big eyes were bright and direct, staring firmly at him. A few minutes later, he struck up a conversation like a prodigal son and was hit by Dupree's Kuairen Kuaiyu, and she won the first round.
They must have heard of each other's accomplishments and accomplishments a long time ago. The two young geniuses met in the love field on earth. They met each other with sparks and sparks. Regardless of whether he had his blond girlfriend waiting in the hall, Jackie decided to keep him in that second. Her weapon is the ally that she will never let herself down, the viscous cello.

They got married in Jerusalem. She converted him. She has not returned to the British accent for a long time, and her accent is starting to be a little strange. The lover next to her is busier than she is and is almost happy with it. After their marriage, they spend more time in CD recordings and concerts. At this time, she began to think of her beloved sister and decided to intervene in her quiet life.

This probably cannot be true. During the break between the concerts, he disagrees with Barenboim and hides in his sister's country house thousands of miles away. Sister is the source of her sense of security and certainty, as well as a way for her to release her stress and nervousness. She exchanged her unreasonable willfulness for sex with her brother-in-law, and then claimed that she was just to prove that she could be loved. (This passage is regarded as the center of the movie by many people, and from this it is concluded that Du Pre loves her brother-in-law deeply. I think it is absurd.)

Her love followed her, and Barenboim's glamorous suit looked so weak on the muddy road in the country. He apologized, he said that we should also buy a villa in the country and be company with your sister. She sneered at him.
She is a child. Apart from being entangled in art, the child's heart can only be calmed by blood-connected compatriots. She doesn't even know how to wash clothes by herself. Can she feed sheep and have a bunch of children in the country with Daniel?

For Du Pree, art is talent. For Barenboim, love is a greater talent. Their relationship is not equal, they are two types of people. But she loves him, hoping for his long-term retention and companionship to solve the loneliness of life that can't be solved whether in love, marriage, or having children. It's a pity that this kind of loneliness will begin and end with their souls. She is always fighting against the unshakable suffering caused by the cold conditions in her life and the excessive talents. What about Daniel? His will will only be destroyed by failure, and will not be fettered by mediocre sadness and human affection. He used three minutes to boil the blood, three minutes to let the tears roll, and another three minutes to turn a whole world into the back garden of the gods. His baton and piano keys were all cold weapons for his overbearing love and fierce ideal.

One of Dupree’s teachers, Sir Barry Lowry once praised her: "People sometimes accuse her of giving too much, but I love it. If you haven't an excess of everything when you're young, what are you going to pare away as the years go by?"
At the age of 26, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and could no longer play the violin. Later, Barenboim worked as the conductor of several orchestras. Whether he cheated her during her illness (as described in the movie) is unknown. After she died, he did marry another. I know all kinds of bridges in the chest, but still in the images of her convulsions, she is unconscious and speechless, and she feels deep pain. The genius is cut off its wings and thrown into the deep darkness, even if it is too fate, is it too harsh and cold for a woman?

The good news for Daniel is that Zumank, Menuhin, and Perlman all feel that the film is faked, while Fu Cong, the matchmaker of Durbar, bluntly confessed his anger at the distorted facts of the film.

Immortality is like this, and future generations will comment, and the truth will never be known.
For me, she is the tears of life. Anyway, the CD left her soul fragments for a while, I am satisfied enough.
Even so sadly satisfied.
