Story summary: Tell the story of four young people who are obsessed with "heavy metal" (later the drummer hangs up), working hard and forging ahead for their ideals (showing on stage)

The "Music Film" produced in Finland, the "Nordic Heavy-Duty Country", fully demonstrates the passion, charm and momentum of metal music, awesome!
As a pure Scandinavian musical comedy, the plot of the film is simple, brisk and popular, and it is clear at a glance. In short, it is "the dream journey of a metal macho". Based on this, the author will not involve too much plot content/analysis in the following comments, but will focus on many thinking points implied by the film. (Hereby inform)
Brief plot
The four metal parties embarked on a metal music journey with the goal of "going on stage".
Lead singer: Turo (sanatorium cleaner), crush on Miia, stunt "black voice"
Guitar: Lotvonen (butcher), special effects "speed play", performance characteristics of "heavy metal", similar to: American Metallica...
Beth: Pasi (librarian), "black gold" addict, the second half of the film, the attire of tribute to "Immortal", you can see at a glance.
Drummer: Jynkky (professional unknown), crazy drummer (a bit like X-Japan captain Yoshiki). Later, in order to avoid the elk and crashed while driving. Its successor is the "patient" Oula.
Thinking Condensation
Enter the main topic of film reviews. think...
1. Pride and Prejudice
a, the prejudice against men with long hair
The man with long hair has a problem! This view is deeply ingrained in many people's minds. As for this argument, is it correct? At least, I can't agree. Judging a person's quality and inferiority based on his appearance (length of hair) alone is unfair and difficult to convince the public. What's more, short hair and long hair are just the difference in styling (of course, it is not ruled out, some people are to vent their emotions), and they are related to character, which is really ridiculous.
b, the arrogant maintenance of traditional views
Another reason people oppose men’s long hair is "disturbance of traditional thinking", because in the traditional concept, "women’s long hair is glory; men’s long hair is humiliation." So, if things go on like this, short hair becomes male. Standard configuration and logo. (Isn't this sexism in disguise?)
Two, be yourself
In this era, it is becoming more and more difficult to become "you". Many people play "you in the eyes of others" in their daily lives. Your kindness, your low-key, your calmness, your patience, all your appearances "Acting", everyone is an acting school, and everyone hides their true self for what? Able to live in this material world (the age of complicated interpersonal relationships) calmly. However, people are different from person to person. No matter what era, there will always be some people who don’t take the usual path. They have personalities, true selves, and insist on being themselves, just like the metal parties in the play. They are the same for ten years. Day, do what you want, and contempt those boring noises around you. This kind of life may not be praised, and it is inevitable to be trapped in realistic pressure, but this is the independent life that every person/different person should have.
3. Middle East immigration issues
There is an episode in the second half of the film, "The border guard was ordered to stop Turo and his party, but he made a mistake and caught a group of transit people who looked like the Middle East." ), but the most fundamental intention is to satirize "a series of biased policies implemented by the Nordic countries towards refugees in the Middle East" (deliberately).
Fourth, the spirit of rock and roll
What is the rock spirit? Chinese godfather-level rock singer Cui Jian explained: The spirit of rock is the spirit of man, so don’t emphasize the two words rock...
In fact, this explanation is still "cloud mountain mist cover". To understand the "spirit of rock", we must first clarify the meaning of the word "spirit". What is spirit? To cite a popular example: people have to eat when they are hungry, and are satisfied when they are full. This "satisfaction" caused by "satisfaction" is a kind of "material satiety." And "spirit"? To put it more abstractly, it is the "nihilization" of matter. To be more specific, take the above "causality" as an example. People are hungry and have no food (materially unavailable). Then, people can only use "illusions" (imagine in their minds, eating delicious food). , Well, are you actually full? Of course not, but is there psychological fullness? have. It's like entering a dream state. In your sleep, you are delicious and spicy, don't be too comfortable, and feel happy in your heart, but the actual situation is "a dream of yellow beams". "Spirit" is like this, it allows you to "fill your brain", but you can't get "substantial material help."
After understanding the “spirit”, let’s look at the “rock spirit”. I still agree with Lao Cui’s words “rock is a dissatisfaction with life”. The real rock music is very real, very touching, and very life. That’s really "sent with feelings", unlike pop music, which is full of "sounds and boring", but actually "empty and boring". This kind of "little freshness" is for brainwashing, while "rock" is for people to see clearly. Reality, see if the world is beautiful or ugly!
In short, the "Rock and Roll Spirit" is not to let people settle for the status quo, but to "be prepared for danger in times of peace". The "Rock and Roll Spirit" is essentially an unyielding cry for life and the status quo.
