As far as book adaptations are concerned

Before buying this disc, I bought the book, and as usual, it starts with words of course. But I don't know if it's the quality of the translation or the author's own problem (but he spoofed alan de boton's passing time), I couldn't bear to read this book, I had to quickly find the disc after reading 1/2.
As soon as the music came out, I felt much better, but as a music movie dominated by rock music, it was mediocre. It is said that the movie has many more songs than the book, but I think the selected songs are mediocre. The director gave more shots to the male protagonist's emotional distress, so the supporting roles were given the opportunity to show (that little fat man also played pick of destiny), and in terms of subject matter, the theme can actually be derived as a role that is about to enter. A middle-aged shop owner thinking about life, but apparently the director/writer thinks love can solve everything.
Plus, um, speaking of it, it's really cool to have such a store and crazy staff.

    Hahaha :) Compared with the original drama, jack black is really suitable for the character of Barry, so cute~ I deleted a few "dark" plots, and the male protagonist is not so jerk, huh huh.

    Well, this is a record store opened by Haruki Murakami in the United States. There is no bright spot in the movie, but the record store and music are indeed playful and constantly. As for the story itself, let's forget about it.

High Fidelity quotes

  • Barry: Top 5 songs about death. A Laura's Dad tribute list, okay? Okay. Leader of the Pack. The guy fuckin' beefs it on his motorcycle and dies, right? Dead Man's Curve. Jan & Dean.

    Dick: Do you know that right after they recorded that song Jan himself crashed his car...

    Barry: It was Dean you fuckin' idiot...

    Rob: It was Jan. It was a long time after the song.

    Barry: Okay, whatever. Tell Laura I Love Her. That would bring the house down - Laura's Mom could sing it. You know what I'd want? One Step Beyond by Madness. And, uh, You Can't Always Get What You Want.

    Dick: No. Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with The Big Chill.

    Barry: Oh God. You're right!

    Dick: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot.

    Barry: You bastard! That's so good - that should have been mine... The night Laura's daddy died. Sha na na na na na na na na! Brother what a night it really was. Mother what a night it really... angina's tough! Glory be!

  • Rob Gordon: She LIKED me. She liked ME. SHE like me... At least I think she did.
