It's a slow-paced, heartwarming film based on true events. The first half of the film is not attractive, the whole film is relatively thin, the story is simple, and the relationship between the characters is simple. It is in this simple and true detail that the viewer is drawn into it. The whole play is moved by Aunt Mei's performance, little details and real events.
It's a good movie worth watching, and it's unforgettable after watching it. To entice you to watch the movie, introduce a few famous characters who participated.
Gloria Easteffen, the number one queen of pop music in the 80s and 90s. The colleague who plays the heroine in the play said that he would let his daughter learn the violin from the heroine. And sang the ending theme song "music of my heart", nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars, it was really nice.
Itzhak Perlman, the famous violinist, plays the third piece at Carnegie Hall at the end of the movie, sitting on the violin.
Isaac Stern, the famous violinist, at the end of the movie Carnegie Hall plays the third piece, the old man standing next to Perlman. Before this, there was a scene where Stern introduced Carnegie Hall to the heroine. I was very moved at the time. Now I know that in the late 1950s, due to the needs of municipal construction, Carnegie Hall was facing demolition. It was Stern who initiated it. A movement to protect Carnegie Hall. It was even more touching that she introduced the heroine to the splendid performance history of the concert hall.
Mark O'Connor, the famous violinist, played the second piece at Carnegie Hall, the one with the hat on the violin. This piece is the most interesting. O'Connor is using the piano to fight and sing with the students, and the performance turns into a game.
Meryl Streep, the main actor, took four and a half months to learn the piano, and performed this play on the same stage with more than a dozen violin masters at Carnegie Hall.
