People settle down in their lives, in the wind and rain, their enthusiasm wears off, and their lives gradually lose their elasticity. The soda that has been open for a long time, how quiet is after the youth has evaporated. No matter how good they were, they were still sent to dim lights. An outdated band, the leader of the band said that people don’t need music, and people are busy chasing what they think is more important; in a desert town that is closed to the trend of the times, the proprietress said lightly, It's deadly quiet at times, no cultural centers and shows, no Arab culture, no Israeli culture. The two teams are destined to have similar temperaments, whether it is the enchanting proprietress who still has the enthusiasm for life, the taciturn, restrained and forbearing old team leader, or the handsome young boy who is good at picking up beautiful women, waiting at the phone booth every night. The young man who missed the call from his girlfriend, the girl who yearned for love but was withdrawn and gloomy; the sweet marriage deteriorated, the constant quarrel with his wife, the young father who could only look at the child in the cradle in a trance... Lonely, became people of different ages and stages of life The eternal problem that cannot be avoided, when loneliness meets loneliness, the light is still weak when they meet, and life cannot be changed, but we can greet each other and make us mourn but not hurt.
In my opinion, "The Band Visits" is also a travel movie. It is similar to Taiwan's "Etudes", France's "Love Before Dawn", and Japan's "Seagull Cafeteria", that is, walking, feeling, Seeking, giving and receiving for a short period of time, and sometimes walking away in order to escape, the gesture of escaping to protect oneself and gain safety is good, but it cannot last.
After the band's visit, the proprietress stood at the door of the store and waved goodbye to the band members. Everyone smiled and had the courage to face loneliness. Everyone will not forget each other's giving and influence. We saw that the old head finally confided his family tragedy to the proprietress. Finally got a call from his girlfriend, the girl who was rejected because she didn't know how to express her feelings cried sadly, and the boy who had never dated the opposite sex at a loss took the first step successfully with the help of the band members. The lonely man and woman finally completed a dripping lingering, and the sad man who was struggling in the marriage said to the musician who never finished the ending part of his song: "You know? Maybe your song can end like this: I mean...not the grandiose kind, with a trumpet and a violin or something. Maybe it could end like this, that's the kind of...sudden end, no sadness, no joy, just a small room, a lamp, A bed, the child is sleeping soundly, and... endless loneliness."
The "Seagull Cafeteria" I watched not long ago was also a film that reflected loneliness, but the temperament was that of being content with loneliness, and could draw an upward arc in loneliness. The simple story of the line. The lines of "The Band Visits" are gentle and peaceful. I also like them very much, and pay tribute to these works full of sincerity and human care.
