The film starts out as a typical self-struggle story. After the hardships and wonders of seeking knowledge, I have seen the estrangement and helplessness of the family, I have answered questions in the office of a university professor, I have studied poetry in the summer camp for college students, I have wiped the table in the bar and memorized recipes, and I have done haircuts in the hair salon. Volume, Rita's life always seems to hover in the "I'm not here, but I don't belong there" embarrassment. Later, Rita had a roommate of a young literary woman. The two discussed poetry, drama and art. Rita felt that this was the life she wanted. But suddenly one day her roommate committed suicide at her residence. This roommate understands poetry and loves literature and lives in art. In Rita's opinion, she already has everything she wants. Her suicide makes Rita puzzled. But the roommate cried and told Rita, "I have nothing but these." Rita is very confused, what do people need and where should they go? Will her hard work return to the same ending as her roommate? Everything that I had been fighting for suddenly turned into a mirror, and the big deal was to start all over again, but if I found out that it was completely different when I walked in front of it, how should I deal with it?
All the previous decisions were just for the dream of wanting to sing a "better song" in my heart. When the professor told her that if she didn't insist on being herself, she would just sing a "different song" that was different from the one you had before. sad. The professor is the person who saves people, but the person who can save people can't save himself. His pain is the epitome of the problem of the homogenization of college education and the separation from reality. , but could not extricate himself. In the strong social literary atmosphere, his voice is very small, he hates those obscure metaphors and empty expressions that only pursue alphabet games, but he has to teach these skills to students every day, so that they gradually understand how to use only the so-called cultural talents. From the perspective of understanding and discussing those nihilistic poems, those who make them form a small group seem to understand art better, but they are fundamentally separated from the actual group. He was in a dilemma, and he used alcohol to escape. He empathized his confusion to Rita, taught her poetry and literature, and taught her to maintain her identity, hoping that Rita could open up a new path for herself. Near the end, he read his poems to rita, rita understood the mystery of the metaphors and the arrangement of words, and praised his poems, but he was full of grief and anger: rita finally did not become a "better song". But what he didn't know was that perhaps for Rita, mastering these useless skills was half the dream. She may have noticed it, but she didn't frown for the pain to come, and she wouldn't embarrass herself for this. Just as she was able to leave her family and her original life in order to study, she still has the perseverance and fearless courage of the market.
The professor insisted on watching her open the transcript before boarding the plane: she passed. She might go to college to continue, or she might not. Where is rita going? The video doesn't give an answer. At the end, she left the airport, still with such brisk and firm steps, that she could go anywhere. After all, people are different, and better songs must also be different from person to person.
