This "Late Period Quartet" is a music movie. I don't know much about music, so I can only appreciate it purely emotionally. Can you tell me how I felt about watching the movie.
I was shocked at the beginning of the film: the four actors are all big stars in my heart - as long as there are films in which they play roles, they must be interesting. (I don't know their names, and they don't often play the lead roles, but they are all old-fashioned actors. The roles they play must be very good for the movie.)
Really.
The four protagonists of the story, one who has just lost his lover and who is about to lose his beloved music, watch his peak soul wrestle with his declining body; the
other feels that he is not recognized by his lover, his peers, or even his own. Recognized by music, he desperately wants to change his life;
a person who has always been forbearance and self-control is rarely indulged, but faces betrayal and separation;
a person who has always been favored and willful but suddenly loses everything and has to pay various costs. It's confusing, you can imagine.
That daughter is the fruit of what they have planted over the years.
For the cellist, her daughter is a student, and she respects the elder who inspired her music;
for the second violinist, her daughter is a companion, she recognizes her father's talent, and sympathizes with her father's injustice;
for the first violinist, her daughter She is a lover, she is attracted by his talent, which triggers his uncontrollable enthusiasm;
for the viola player, her daughter is the enemy, she takes away the love that her mother did not get, and retaliates for the love her mother cannot give her.
The band is their common child. Because of this child, they can let go of disputes, let go of their own interests, they can give in, they can compromise, and they can lose. Even her daughter gave up her love for the existence of the band just like her younger brother.
So in the end, they stood together on the stage of the 25th anniversary performance, without explaining how to erase the previous dispute, they just looked at each other, and then started to play with their bows. As always, someone is responsible for guiding, someone is responsible for tolerance, someone is responsible for setting off, and someone is responsible for maintaining.
When the old man left the stage, all the disputes settled down. Together with the new cellist, everyone closed the sheet music, forgot the markings and symbols that had been made, and began to play Opus 131, which was completely different from 25 years ago. The passing of the old will inevitably lead to new changes.
Just as the old man led the young students to discuss this work at the beginning of the film: once it starts, it cannot be stopped, but playing it for a long time without stopping will inevitably make the instrument go out of tune to varying degrees. What should I do? Should it stop, or will it play to the end?
Give it a try.
as life.
PS I especially like what my daughter said about the orchestra when she chatted with the first violinist:
"Let me tell you what makes Fugue such a great quartet.
Frist, they have you. And you're hypnotizing the audience with your relentless prescision. The follow you like a cobra follows a snake charmer.
Then…you have my father. And he's adding color an texture and rhythm. He's always enhancing you, he's lifting you up, but he'll never outshine you.
Then there's my mother. She adds a depth of sound that none of you coule bring. She makes you wanna weep without exactly knowing why. Is that the voice of a wounded soul? The survival skills she had to develop prepared her to perfectly serve three masters at the same time. The one she loves, the one she partners with, and the one she desires.
To cclose a perfect square, you've got the big-hearted man with the cello. When the gates are secured, emotions are welcome. We can all sit down ready to be swept away.
It's the ideel quartet."
"Let me tell you why the fugue is so good.
First, they have you. You hypnotize the audience with uninterrupted precision playing, and they follow you like a cobra follows a snake charmer.
Second, you have my father. He adds color, texture and rhythm to the compositions. He's always dying to enhance your playing, to enhance your performance, but never to overwhelm you.
Next is my mom. She broadens her vocal range like no one else can. She brought the audience to tears. Could this be the voice of a wounded heart? She used her housekeeping skills to perfectly cooperate with the three masters at the same time. The person she loves dearly, the person she partners with, and the person she doesn't want.
In order for a quartet to fit together perfectly, the cellist must be broad-minded. When the door of music is tightly guarded, emotions can be fully vented. Everyone can prepare to be enchanted by the music.
This is the perfect quartet. ( The
