This is a movie about niche music, I thought the movie would finally bring niche music to the masses
but he didn't
The lead singer Frank is quite talented in music. He and a few friends create albums in a cabin in the woods. He can turn any inconspicuous fragments of life - doorknobs, sofa threads - into inspiration for his music, and immediately create a spiritual inspiration. music
He is mysterious and special, with an exaggerated hood on his head
He is persistent and firm, demanding that the music he creates must be precise and perfect.
He is simply passionate and wants to create the most beautiful music that will impress the audience
He should be on fire, shouldn't he?
The protagonist Jon is an ordinary office worker with passion for creating music, but no talent
Occasionally joined Frank's group to create music together in the cabin in the woods. He also wants to improve his music through Frank, so that his music is favored by Frank's group, and looks forward to showing his own in front of more audiences. music
The days of creating music in the hut are pure, not disturbed by any impurities from the outside world, and everyone is happy
Jon is not creatively gifted, but he wants to be as casual and creative as Frank. He finds "how to be creative instructional videos" on Youtube, and learns to shave by holding the razor in place by moving his face. Shaved, but unexpectedly hurt himself and screamed through the sky
Clara picked up his scream and put it in the music, but he was furious. Clara is creating, while Jon naturally brushes aside
Jon wanted fire, but he just posted about life in the wood cabin on social media. Of course, they are popular, but it is not the music that is popular, but the unique life away from the hustle and bustle, and what they have won is the attention of the curious
Jon is destined to not be able to get together with Frank, a group of people who just make music. The things they are good at and focus on don't fit
On the contrary, the attention on social media made Frank mistakenly believe that his music was liked by the audience
Art comes from life, and the art that the general public likes is the art that is closer to their own life
Frank's music is destined to fail to impress the general public, because his life is not the life of the general public, so the art he creates cannot enter the public's life
So when there was a chance to enter the public, so-called real world, Frank became confused and anxious.
When Jon said to him "I'm going to make your music more likeable and make the current version a little more regular", he said "Wow, you saved this music, it's better". But those who know the goods can feel, how can Frank admit this kind of music in his heart?
He ducked under the table when he knew the truth that their hits weren't due to audiences liking their music. If everyone doesn't accept their own music, where does their confidence come from, and how do they face these audiences who think they like their music?
As he approached the stage, he really gave up. Since he wants to be liked by the public, does he have to look like he has a smile on his face, or does a well-dressed female dress be more popular with everyone?
Really on stage, when Jon sings Jon's own original music, Frank can no longer fake and disguise in front of his favorite music. He fell to the ground, unable to restrain himself from saying, "Your music is really garbage".
Frank tried to wear a mask on top of the original headgear, in order to cater to the audience
But in front of the music he loves, he can't do it.
If there is only one love in life, you must choose to lose him in the face of fame, fortune and traffic. Does that count as giving up the life you love?
Fortunately, Frank still has a small group of people, 3 people to be precise, who can understand his music, can accompany him, like-minded, and naturally make music that they really care about and like.
In the end, Frank took off his hood and his tangled mask trying to appeal to the public. Sing the touching "love you all". He made clear his love, what kind of music he loves, and what kind of partner he loves
He shed tears, partly to his beloved music and friends, partly to the regret that he clearly realized that he could not enter the public.
Jon finally left, but it was because he recognized himself, went to a real path that was more suitable for him, and found a circle that truly belonged to him.
The friends around me, including myself, are like a group of people who are like Frank, chasing after the love that is clinging to their hearts. However, like Frank, he kept on moving forward with the hope that he could impress the public.
From an objective point of view, this hope must have to bear more loneliness and setbacks before it can be achieved slowly.
May each of us be able to stick to what we love in our hearts, overcome difficulties, and reach the other side that makes ourselves and our loved ones more beautiful
But it doesn't matter if you don't
This time in your life, you have chosen the thing you love, and you have been obsessed with it, enjoyed it, and gone crazy for it, and you have no regrets, don't you?
