from two perspectives

The story is simple and cliché: the story of a girl who chooses between ideals and commitment.

What attracts me is its cheerful rhythm. The beginning of the film is a piece of music with a clear rhythm (even thought it was a musical), which I like very much.

I really like happy plots, it can be the music in the play, the plot content, the characters, the ending setting. Life is bitter, it never makes you happy; life is sweet, it is full of love everywhere. When you have a happy family, you may see the endless hardships and hardships you need to bear; when you enjoy wealth, you may yearn for love and being loved. Are you willing to trade wealth for love? not necessarily! Do you want to mortgage suffering with happiness? Wouldn't think so!

It is inevitable to gain some and lose others, because they do conflict, love takes time, success takes time, and wealth takes time. . . Look, the most basic conflict.

Don't make yourself unhappy for a long time. Why don't you think about what you really want desperately, and what else you're destined to lose when you choose it, is it something you can afford? I think that people live on a scale, and the middle is the balance point of suffering. Everything you get (possessed) and everything you can't get (lost) are at both ends, plus or minus changes at any time. So, there are gains and losses, gain or lose at will.

The content of the film is an inspirational story based on love. The love of the family makes parents worry about the child who travels far, so they want her to stay by their side, even if they have never seen the outside world. The girl's love lies in music. Even though she lives in a hearing-impaired family, she now has the opportunity to see farther and sing more, so she doesn't want to rest on her laurels and want to fly far away, but the family's difficulties make it difficult for her to take care of music learning, can't choose for a while.

The same world is the same family (mostly), the parents love the child and the young bird will eventually spread its wings. The parents who love you love the ideal child. They are all paying for love, but don't forget, there is love and there is love. May all the loved ones in the world see those who love you. I think the director of this inspirational film also wants to tell the audience that in fact, you have always had love, and it is love that gives you courage, not desperate or hopeless. Love, with you for a lifetime!

Finally: Chicken soup is cookie-cutter, but the world needs cookie-cutter solace. The film is not perfect because of the clichés, and what moves you and me is also the clichés. It would be great if it could be non-conventional and mind-bashing.

    On the point of "telling a good story", I don't think there's anything wrong with this film. The flow of the plot is like flowing water, with high intentions, downstream, and a stable ending. The card positions at the turning points of each story are so precise, the choreography is meticulous, and a big hand firmly grasps the hearts of the audience, and can even be included in the screenwriter. The textbook for the course is out. Although it also makes the movie look too neat and the carving marks are too heavy, the actors' simple and life-like performances neutralize this very well, which is quite clever. The slightly underappreciated vocal teacher in the film left a deep impression on me. Although he also has the arrogant temperament of being from a famous school, he is still able to stay close to the ground and sincerely listen to the voice of grassroots life. His social status may not be as high as those of his famous alumni who don't touch the ground, but he alone deserves some extra applause and respect.

    It's the kind of movie where you clearly know what's good and what's bad, but you don't really want to say it, you just know you'll watch it many times in the future and recommend it to everyone you know.
