Waltz of youth

Miles 2022-03-20 09:01:09

From now on, forget the goldfish and those stones that were put back into the stream by the mother, put the strawberries on ten fingers, and then swallow them one bite at a time; from now on, forget people’s stubbornness, greed, nagging...help them, Let happiness illuminate all living beings like sunshine; from now on, find the person you love, clean up your trivial emotions, and have a childish love chase with him. In the evening, Paris was as sticky as brown sugar. Churches and green trees passed by the sides of the motorcycle. The laughter of youth was heated by the setting sun and melted into the rich and vivid French scenery like an oil painting.

What notes should surround it? It is the melodious jump of the accordion, the light and soothing murmur of the harmonica, the lonely rippling of the crystal piano when the night is cool like water, the loneliness of the piano in the heart, and the joy and enthusiasm of the orchestral ensemble when the two love each other.

"Angel Emily" is a classic film soundtrack. It is said that two months before the film’s release, French director Jean-Pierre Gennet had already captured the beauty of Paris and the ghosts and spirits of Audrey Tarto. However, the soundtrack has not been finalized, and he has never been able to finalize the soundtrack. Find music that is as weird and colorful as the movie, but with true girlish feelings. One day, the director’s assistant told him that recently a composer, Yang Tilson, was very popular, so he might as well give it a try. So on the way home for the director, Tilson's works flowed through the car stereo. Before the car arrived home, the director was already ecstatic: "It's him, it's him, this is the Paris feeling I want!" However, Tilson, who was in his ascendant career at the time, was busy with the new album and couldn't contribute to the whole album. Movie Soundtrack. The director selected the track from the old album, and Tilson drove out the new section within 15 days, and the classic soundtrack of "Angel Emily" was born.

Listening to the original sound of a movie is like listening to a song of a girl's heart. People who have watched the movie will naturally think of Audrey Tato's vivid face. She was silently immersed in her fairy tale world, walking alone through the quiet alleys of Paris, throwing stones across the water, and the piano sounded alone, surging and spreading, as if looking at herself in the mirror. This is reminiscent of "Everything About Lily Zhou", the same piano solo, showing the same lost and lonely hearts of the teenagers.

However, compared to Lily Zhou's cruel youth, "Angel Emily" has more bright colors. Emily uses fantasy to embellish the colorful world. She imagines the white clouds as rabbits and bears, and uses her kindness to change the environment so that the people around her are no longer as distant and helpless as isolated islands. Tilson's gentle music provides the best interpretation of this mood. The pipe organ, accordion and harmonica are warm, pink and light yellow. They surround Emily, whirling briskly, forming a closed ring, giving the film its unique elegance and romance.

Unlike his music, Tilson in the photo has a calm and gloomy face. Perhaps in his heart, lived a soul similar to Emily. In the movie, the external environment such as stations, roofs, carriages, etc. are always rendered in cool colors, in contrast to the warm colors of the living room, bedroom, and alleys, showing the director's resistance to the industrial age and respect for the individual. Tilson's music responds to each other. He used each instrument to describe a face, closed, nervous, rigid, original, frivolous, and flirty... and then connected them with melody. When facing individual emotions, it is a warm instrument such as accordion and harmonica, while when it outlines the external world, it often uses cool sounds such as piano and string. His talent is also expressed in the precise grasp of the colors of various instruments. As the main melody, "Emily's Waltz" (La Valse D'Amelie) is a new piece he wrote for the film, including accordion, piano and Orchestra playing. The same melody has a completely different mood and temperament because of the instrument. The accordion sounded melodiously, it was Emily immersed in the joy of love, gypsy-like joy; the piano played softly, filled with the loneliness and loneliness of young Emily since childhood, and the depression like the Seine Sad; the orchestra spread out, but innocent Emily faced the vast unknown world, dreaming of its vastness, while hesitating like a crystal piano. Three different emotions outline Emily's colorful inner world, as well as the true and moving girl feelings.

Emily’s love journey is the core part of the film, and music also plays an important role in it. The theme melody recurs, the joy of the accordion when I first see it; the sadness of the piano when I miss it; the strings when I hesitate and suspicion Messy and uneasy. At the end of the film, Emily’s father finally decided to go out. The down-and-out writer was full of confidence because of encouragement. The painter who lived alone painted the girl’s most beautiful smile, and Bai Tuotu, who had gained childhood memories, began to love the children... People began to take Ai Millie’s kindness and joy spread, the sun illuminates everything in the world, and the love-earned Emily sits on a motorcycle, hugs her little boyfriend’s waist, and swims along the streets of Paris with the theme melody of the chords. Because of Emily, because of kindness, sincerity, love, and because of the endless warm music, won't our lives become more beautiful and fantastic?

    I like the quirky love of pranks. Although she was unhappy in her childhood, she was still open-minded and optimistic. This film tells the story of a modern version of Cinderella. The composition is exquisite and rich in colors. It is really beautiful. .
