In terms of technical processing, the performance level of different orchestras in different periods, the performance level of the same actor in different periods, and the comparison of the performance of different actors in a story scene are very real. If you listen carefully, there is indeed a problem with the rhythm of the bridge drummer who directs the abusive drummer into the next bar. Regarding the double rhythm of 350 or even 400, I think it is almost a myth. It should be the level of top thrash metal bands such as metallica.
From the story setting, this film reflects not only the field of music, but the reality of a wider range of professional skills and occupations. In today's post-industrialization to information age, every professional practitioner is facing competition and challenges from 6.5 billion people and the outstanding people bred by this civilization. People who are not extreme enough and paranoid are not qualified to talk about their inner weakness and sentimental emotions. Calling it love or obsession is actually a flamboyant self-dressing and obsession. I still remember learning guitar when I was young. The 16-hour piano practice time of Ding Wu and Liu Yijun in the Tang Dynasty was a legend that everyone told each other every day. Later, the protagonist of the story became Li Yanliang, but the truth and logic remained unchanged.
What immediately reminded me of this movie was the shine with the same theme of crazy musicians and the four minutes of restraining violent excitement. Although the former is based on stories of real characters, the movie portrays the protagonist as a victim who is bewitched by music and difficult performances to a madness. It is a classic ordinary person's perspective to some extent, and it does not understand or show the artist's artistic pursuit and personal limits. The confrontation between will, the confrontation between will and reality, the contradiction between personal cognition and social role. The latter more shows the process of communication and reconciliation between individuals of different eras and different cultural backgrounds. European films have a deeper humanistic depth, but the description of individual struggle and growth is not as good as this one.
An important theme that appears in this movie is the interaction between educators and learners, or the influence of external forces in the process of personal growth. The impact of events in the objective external environment on individuals is often multifaceted, with both positive and negative meanings. How to recognize and understand these meanings and make personal choices is the core issue of this film's thinking. As the famous saying goes, the world is neither well-intentioned nor malicious, it is unintentional. Lao Zhuang said that the world is not benevolent, and that everything is a humble dog. This is the truth. And what the Western saying can't kill you will make you stronger, so it directly gives the code of conduct, this movie is a good guide.
By the way, for ordinary people, too strong feelings are dangerous, and too persistent behavior is dangerous, because it is beyond the scope of control ability, or risk expectations break the bottom line. Those who advertise the true love once in a lifetime, from one end to the end, are roughly the same. Of course, advocating this kind of moral concept is also conducive to the stability of social morality at a relatively safe level. Many negative interpretations of this movie are roughly the same. To make matters worse, those mediocre people who cannot understand such strong emotions can only compare and evaluate such concepts with their flat and pale life experiences, and then express some incomprehensible feelings. These feelings are nothing but weak mental excrement.
The music of this film is excellent, and the integration with the lens language is almost perfect. This is related to the rich stage shooting and the accumulation of MV directors since mtv. The only drawback is that the post-production light processing is not stylized enough, but the color palette is very bold. I personally think that the color is too heavy, and the warm yellow tone that represents the classic jazz language is a bit too subjective.
