"Music Never Stops" Film Review
Fortunately, such a film did not teach people to popularize common sense of rock and roll, and there is no glamorous genre disputes. Every tender or angry song constitutes intermittent memories. It is related to the political differences and musical estrangement of the two generations 20 years ago. It is about the salvation of the father and the "rebirth" of the son after twenty years, and it is about love and understanding.
After the brain tumor is removed, the son only has "goldfish memory", and the only thing that can awaken the archived fragments is the familiar melody in the past. Just like the majestic and irresistible father of each of us when we were young, old Henry always insisted at first that the mainstream music he instilled in little Gary should and should be what he loved. So at the beginning of the rehabilitation plan, Gary started to hear music, played the trombone vigorously, and then asked his father’s name innocently. Old Henry thought it was a Marseille, but in fact it was the "All You Need Is Love" with the same prelude. "It was the Beatles in the sixties, and Gary's rock and roll enlightenment.
I often think about the mechanism by which music and other preferences, such as color and smell, melt into the blood of preference. Some people like metal, some people like folk songs, some like jazz, some people like blues, and I like a certain temperament that is high but not overbearing and low but not overpowering. The first move was in the age of "make love, don't fight", the age of advocating "peace, anti-war, fraternity, and equality". In the movie, Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" sings in a low voice. The lyrics keep asking children what the gunfire is. This reminds me of the same anti-war classic, The Cranberries' "Zombie". The head slowly hoisted and the child who was slowly taken away.
Rock and roll is such a kind of existence, it has a large and refined pattern, but also has a specific and subtle feeling. The commonality is the truth of straightforwardness, and it will not be pretentious and cannot tolerate compromise. It is a measure of ideals and reality. As long as there is a gap, we will always need it. The music will not stop, the rock will never die.
