The male protagonist of this film is a weird person with bad personal relationships, and at the same time it has created two heroines, one is Sa5m, a cool girl who also has no friends (played by the protagonist Vanessa of High School Musical's Sweet Sister), the other She is the current blonde girl Charlotte (who is also a singer) who used to be the girlfriend of the cheerleader/school male god.

At the initiative of Blonde Girl, he turned Blonde Girl's new band from a loser group into a band composed of campus losers but with a burst of performances. Sam is wary of the blonde girl and reminded him several times not to interact with her. With Charlotte's encouragement, he took the initiative to pursue the girl he liked, Sam, for the first time. Impressed, Sam took the initiative to invite him to watch his favorite movie together, but the hero let her dove because of Charlotte's invitation. After several setbacks, the male protagonist finally got Sam's forgiveness and learned that Sam also has a natural voice.

Charlotte quit the band because of her father. Not only did she reveal the past that the protagonist was unwilling to face, she also said that she was friends with the campus loser and breaking up with ex was just an experiment. The protagonist who was stimulated resolutely led the band to the competition, sam became the band's new lead singer, and they rehearsed the song left by Charlotte together.

On the day of the competition, Charlotte, who regretted the original, came to the backstage to apologize to everyone. When her ex started singing, everyone looked at each other - he was singing Charlotte's song.

The band was forced to choose another tune, the scene was very explosive, and in the end, although it lost the game, it became popular on the Internet.

Charlotte finally graduated, and she watched the car with the hero and sam drive away with cheers.

Everyone appreciate the plot, what exactly does this movie want to express? Who is the heroine? Why are the two singing heroines giving us so few performances and not enough fun?

I think even if any heroine is deleted, the film is still a qualified youth musical film, at least the plot is not headless and mindless.

  • Sa5m: Well, if you were just part of Charlotte's experiment this whole time, then, what is reality? What if Charlotte and her experiment are really a part of someone else's larger experiment? I mean, what if we're being manipulated by some greater intelligence than our own? And if so, is there really such a thing as free will? Am I moving my hand or was it predetermined by a force I'm not even aware of? Charlotte times a trillion.f you were just part of Charlotte's experiment this whole time, then, what is reality?
