I have never met anyone who is interested in rock music. It is said that 囧mei and classmates abroad know that if you talk about the old bands in the 1960s and 1970s, you can only chat with people in the Dakou shop more than ten years ago-in other words, their business has already closed. There is a post-85 generation in the unit who sometimes can’t hold back a song like Top Horse or Wanqing, and the post-90s generation collectively protested “unpleasant”. But it's better than hearing Cui Jianhui as a hooligan back then.
It's not a better place to hang out with friends. After years of diving, I have come to the conclusion that in forums, post bars, and cloud villages, it is better to make less noise. Sometimes I really want to express my feelings, but some people will interpret it as offending his god. The boat fans suddenly started to spray Pink, and the worms angered the gun flowers for no reason. The sights look like a sad cycle: the more you feel lonely, the more you slap each other in the face.
This part is also covered in this film. Even if it is a band that has just gotten into the warm-up, the lead singer and guitar must first figure out who can be more attractive than who. Although everyone knows that 99% of the results of this kind of thing are disbanding, but they can't help it. Just like everything in this circle, it has the temperament of self-destruction (if even the agent follows suit, it will basically end). No one wants to control themselves, from all kinds of crazy fantasies in their heads to their infinitely inflated ego, to their excited lower body, they love everything. Even brief periods of sobriety and rationality are smothered again by alcohol and drugs. This is a world completely ruled by Dionysus. Just like the wine mysticism in ancient Greece, it must be despised, feared or spurned by "normal society".
Some people do play music "to be cool" as Russell said, but that part is really the job of the music industry. According to William Manchester, the first incident of a girl fainting at a Cinque Nara concert was widely reported, so the record company began to hire people to faint and scream, and then there were crazy fans. . In fact, every music fan who has listened to one or two hundred discs knows how far they can go without good solos, riffs and arrangements, just with long hair and fancy clothes. The truth is that there is simply no band on the planet with that kind of fame - at least before the idol profession.
So many people are dissatisfied with this film because it mentions too little music. Thirty years later, Crowe is still like an underage entertainment reporter, staring at gossip and fruit. That's why the band saw them as "enemies" at first. But that's the news that the outside world likes to pay attention to and that brings the magazine's biggest sales. Who wants to watch them sit in the studio drily practicing and rehearsing over and over again, how to cut out those bootlegs, compare demos over and over, and keep mixing and re-recording? They have to go out on tour like their predecessors, the bards and buskers. Even if some of them are originally shy, introverted and even socially fearful, in order to make a living from music, they have to force themselves to bear these (but there are also good people in this kind of life, see "Finding Sugar Man"). And even if you turn to alcohol and drugs to relieve the pressure of stage fright, no one will sympathize with you.
The male protagonist's senior warned him not to make friends with musicians. If he's referring to alcohol, drugs, and feminism on tour, he's right. As with all Vanity Fairs, there is only mutual use and mutual contempt. Even if it is true congeniality and infatuation, no one wants to get himself into it. In order to win the recognition of the circle and maintain their status, everyone strives to show their ruthlessness and cynicism. In the end is a contest of selfishness, indifference and irrationality. Only when the new idol slaps the old one to death on the beach will the person sober up and find that he is nothing serious. But until then, everyone is going all out, willing to do whatever it takes to live one more second of that illusion.
So are the flesh and blood. Although Xiao Pan is the image of a victim in this film as a whole, why didn't she quit this circle? Does she really want someone's commitment and happiness in that ordinary sense? Or the meaning of the fruit's existence is not in line with the normal concept of love and desire. The most successful of them, like Bibi, became a adored goddess, and turned the musicians themselves into fame and legend. Desperate for everything and thinking about everything, just rush to the person you want, or invest in the person who wants you, without any responsibility or consequence to stop it. And the most "professional" Guo'er is obviously Sophie. She doesn't get entangled with someone, and she doesn't want to live or die. Just like coming to work, she accompanies the band to have dinner. What is she drawing? I wait for mortals to think of a memoir in a few decades.
To put it bluntly, Crowe was actually going to make a comedy at the time. The part of "Airplane Confession" is an embarrassing black humor now (it is rumored to be the real story of the who, thinking of Mr. Townshend's later experience, I can't even laugh), and the final ending is also seriously distorted. . But no matter how low the probability of the lead singer and guitar reconciling like this is, whether it is reasonable for the band to allow the media to publish "true reports" of the reunion, hearing Russell finally sit down and say his original intention to the male lead: "I love everything about music. ." That's why I haven't run too far. As for why, watch Guitar Hero.
