He is a very persistent man. The road to music has been ups and downs, but he can still keep going. The turns of setbacks in family and love did not make him lose his fighting spirit. Perhaps, the support has always been his brother, Nate, who died because of his accidental injury when he was a child. Nate is an uncompromising passion for life, very gifted and talented. He was accidentally injured by Dewey and his body was cut in half. Dewey panicked, but Nate could still calmly say: Dewey, I was cut very hard, if I can't do it, you have to double your achievements. Perhaps it is precisely because of these words that Dewey decided to shoulder the life of two people and live a rich and colorful life.
After Nate's death, his father angrily told Dewey, "It wasn't the kid who died". His father has always been partial to Nate, regard Nate as his pride and dream. The shattering of dreams is terrifying. Dewey also lost his sense of smell. Then, following his mother's orders, he went to the grocery store to buy candles, where his maiden work was done. There is no doubt that Dewey is a musical genius who never learned to play the guitar, but soon learned to express his guilt towards Nate and his inner grief in a blues style.
This is Dewey's first performance. It was successful, and there was a magic in his music that made everyone dance together. But in his town of Springberry, such music was the devil's music. So, Dewey decided to run away, taking the woman who was fascinated by his music, his young twelve-year-old first wife, Edith.
A year later, Dewey is still unknown, he's just a handyman in a bar. The cruelty of reality tempered his persistence in dreams. Then, because of a chance performance opportunity, he finally got permission from his manager to start his music career.
In the course of his performance, he has experienced a lot of women, got a lot of admiration, and tasted all kinds of drugs. He always said, "I don't want anything but music."
His second wife, Darlene, the new lead singer of his band, has been full of sweetness in Dewey's songs since he met her. Anyone who loves to create, if he finds the source of inspiration, it will surely make this person have an irresistible love for the "source". So, Dewey was dazed by this love, and started his second marriage without breaking up with Edith. Poor Edith waited for her husband at home, and finally had time to think about visiting her long-lost husband, to his surprise, to see Dewey and other women's bridal night. So both women left him.
For Dewey, drugs were his "partners" for the first half of his life. Because of drug addiction and detoxification, Darlene returned to him and accompanied him to regain his dream. But, in the end, Darlene's departure was also because of drugs.
After Darlene left for the second time, Dewey's creation was in a state of bottleneck. After that, he was once again immersed in countless women and a life full of drugs. Until one day one of his sons came over and asked him to play together. Perhaps, it was at this time that he realized that family love was the most precious thing.
really. Friendship and love are derived. Only family love is innate and no one can deny it. Of course, friendship and love can also be sublimated to the height of family affection.
In the end, Darlene returned to Dewey's side, and Dewey regained his sense of smell and inspiration to complete his "handed down work". Dewey desperately absorbed the breath of all creatures, good and bad, and it turned into good in his sense of smell. So, he remembered his "BEAUTIFUL RIDE" as his last performance at the same time. Three minutes after the show, Dewey died.
After the movie, I suddenly remembered what Nate said about "it's nice to be young and have so much time for big things". Then, I thought, maybe it's time for me to review my life and see the way forward. Not for fame and fortune, but for enrichment, only for BEAUTIFUL RIDE.

DEWEY COX - BEAUTIFUL RIDE
Now that I have lived
A lifetime's worth of days
Finally I see
The folly of my ways
So listen when I sing of
The temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles
Whisky, flesh and pearls
And then in the end
It's family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride
As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
Every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
And you whistle some quick melody
To the ghosts down at the dock
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride
Sing in to your hand
Lead the marching band
Don't you let 'em fade your colors gray
'Cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
You 'll see that it's all about
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
This— is finally what I've learned!
And then in the end
It's family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride
