raw music

Probably when I was in middle school, I looked through the "Popular Movies" that my family subscribed to, and saw the poster of this film, without even an introduction, but inexplicably liked it. More than 20 years later, because of the popularity of the Internet, I have a chance to see it. Glad to see it now and not miss it. Many movies have wonderful storylines. After watching, the wonderfulness becomes known, and the degree is weakened a lot. Some movies, such as this one, don't have a particularly prominent storyline or a particularly prominent personal performance, but there may be many parts other than wonderful that are worth savoring again and again. The father's childhood musical dreams were trampled on, and he lost his parents, and years later, he committed it all to his children - what would that be? A child with unparalleled musical talent who is not blessed by his own father - what happens? He became a psychotic, incoherent, dysfunctional man, but that innocent part was the same as ever. Did the music move her? Or his talent? When he saw him approaching her like a child, throwing himself into her arms completely open, such intimacy, simplicity, and all the conditions for a "perfect marriage" collapsed. When life meets life, what conditions are there? A musician is not only a musician on stage, his life is that music, that expression. But it's only when he steps on stage that he completes himself - because, "Shine".
