This movie is a music movie, and I believe that many professionals and music lovers will interpret this movie from the perspective of music. I have no knowledge in music and lack of knowledge of art history, so I can only talk about my personal experience.
This is the first movie I watched in the cinema this year. After swimming, I hurriedly went for a swim. After watching it, I didn't know if I was too overwhelmed or tired, and my mood was abnormally low.
There are a few things about this movie that are not what I expected. For example, the appearance of the male and female protagonists made me feel that they were not good enough when they first appeared on the stage, and the more I was surprised later. For example, the male protagonist just started to be obedient, but he did not expect to be a master of flirting with girls. Like how they formed a band so randomly. The members of the band joined very casually and smoothly. (Forgive me, I can't remember the names.) The two little boys who joined in the end saw the recruitment order issued by the male lead and said that they needed people like us, so they joined. . Among the four band members and the little boy, except for the boy who can master all kinds of musical instruments, there is very little communication with the male lead, and the audience does not know them. They seem a bit like tool people, and they exist for this band. And the boy who is proficient in all musical instruments has always been supporting and encouraging the male protagonist. When I watched the movie, I also wondered if the male protagonist's brother didn't exist at all. It was imagined by the male protagonist to give him guidance, accompany him to grow up, and empathize with him at the same time. The role of the younger sister also seems to be to set off the male protagonist's daring to pursue, she is an image that meets the expectations of society. From the character's point of view, the supporting roles are all very thin.
The male and female protagonists in this youth film are all cool guys. The female protagonist jumped into the sea to shoot the MV even if she could not swim; the male protagonist asked the female protagonist not to take risks together, and the female protagonist closed the door and happily went to the appointment; the male protagonist dyed his hair and made up to play in the band, and the party resisted the principal's passionate youth. When I watched it, I suddenly understood why many girls were so fascinated by young men who played music. If a handsome young man wrote me songs and sang to me, I would not be able to resist, how romantic. The climax of the movie is when they turn the party around and the students sing against the tyranny of the principal. Young people, enjoy the feeling of working together against authority. The heroine regained her dream of being a model and left as soon as the hero said she wanted to drive a small motorboat from Ireland to London. The elder brother, who was bound by love and gave up his dream, helped them, and was pleased that his younger brother was brave enough to pursue his dream. What a perfect ending, but I know that if the movie doesn't stop at this moment, the high probability of waiting for the hero and heroine is a down-and-out life in London. They came to the big city. Some time ago, they may have high fighting spirit and feel that they can have great luck. After a period of time, they will return to their hometowns, or they will live in the big city and work in order to fill their stomachs. After living together, they will eventually Complaining to each other. Or if they are unlucky, they hang up halfway, knowing that they will encounter wind and waves as soon as they set sail.
I didn't believe in the movie's perfect ending, and suddenly felt like I was being disciplined too well. Watching them play the band, enjoy the moment, go to her mother's study, is their youth wonderful? Brilliant, almost in line with all the vanity and fantasies of adolescence. If possible, would I choose such youth? I won't, because I know there are very few people who can be models, and it's likely to be a McDonald's girl in the end.
I was very sad on the way home. I felt that although I was in my twenties, I didn’t seem to have accomplished anything. Years passed, and I grew older but not mentally long. Maybe I was in my thirties in a blink of an eye, and one day I suddenly thought, why am I so old, what have I done all this time, I feel that I am confused. In my twenties, I am so powerless. What kind of person will I be in a few years? Ordinary people.
