Janus is a two-faced god in Roman mythology, who can look forward and backward, see the past and the future. However, many times, people are not simply two-sided, that is, good and evil, and more often they will make very different choices in the face of different environments.
Although Tom has entered the society, but in his heart, he has not yet stepped out of the confused youth. Even if he does not adapt to the status quo, he does not know how to change his life, and he has no goal of moving forward. The director let him immerse himself in the psychedelic music on the dance floor again and again to show his youthfulness and confusion.

Sometimes he couldn't even tell whether he missed his mother who taught him how to play the piano, or whether he was simply excited by hitting the simple black and white keys.

Although the language is different, music has become a red thread connecting their emotions. .
After the audition failed, Tom walked out of the dim concert hall, facing the rushing sunlight, put on his headphones again, and said goodbye to youth. Although in the end he couldn't sit under the lights of the concert hall and play for the audience, he knew where to look for the sound.
