Few births, eugenics, happy life

It took three separate periods of time to read "August Love" on my classmate's mp4. If I had enjoyed it in its entirety on my own computer, I might have been moved to tears, but... it's happened, and I can't stop a nonsensical thought.
It turns out that two musicians having a one-night stand can give birth to a gifted musical prodigy! Moreover, one of the two musicians is engaged in classical music and the other is engaged in pop music, so the prodigy can play guitar and conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra! The theory of eugenics is really scientific, high-quality parents can give birth to gifted children, and even if they get lost, it doesn't matter, the child prodigy will go home with music. This reminds me of Jerry's body floating in the air into the arms of the refrigerator, inhaling the aroma.
The prodigy is played by the calm little boy in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". He has grown up a lot, and when he smiles, his mouth is crooked, he has dimples, and he is very cute. Harry Potter won't be cute when he grows up, and I'm more confident in what this guy will look like in the future. Child prodigy had auditory hallucinations since childhood, was very restless in the orphanage, and always wanted to find his parents. Finally ran out and got caught by a crazy weird uncle. At first, Uncle Wei acted like a down-to-earth musician, we can call him "a beggar gang leader with musical ideals", and later he became a mercenary villain, or "under the guise of music". Swaggering brokers". Prodigy is naturally unwilling to be at the mercy of such people. Even if he is not a prodigy, he should know that conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra is much better than running around. So he ran away, and when he couldn't, the cliché weight slammed into the back of the pursuer's head. In the end, he didn't know if he got out of the sewer to direct the last show and meet his dream parents.
Although the film wants to highlight the power of music, the music in the film is not very well produced. Except for the crazy guitar performance that shocked Uncle Weird, the other music is really not appealing. The music at the end was supposed to be the climax of the film, but the music played was weak and inexplicable. The child prodigy just mechanically draws triangles, bewitching the audience with a seductive smile from time to time to cover up his inadequacies. How can there be such a talented conductor? ! Take a look at Zhouzhou. As soon as he stands on the podium, he changes from a mentally handicapped child to a profound artist. Art is the fire of his life. He burns, agitates, and enjoys it. How can this calm foreign child experience such feelings? Insufficient understanding of music is the fatal flaw of this film. I can live with your gray tones, your protracted plots, your superficial but pretended deep feelings, but I can't stand you saying you want to make music and you spoil it so much. This is a deception and insult to music.
There is no strength! The actor who plays the prodigy father, whether he is the idealistic war correspondent in "The Children of Yellowstone", or the football coach who loves Xuan's leg scar in "I Love Beckham", I think he is very weak Flat man. And the child prodigy mother, that woman also looks familiar. After ten years of lovesickness and forbearance, when he saw his son at the last moment, he was still so calm, and forced a smile. It's over, no explosive power! To paraphrase Zhuge Chengwu's words: "I need to calm down." After ten years of calm, conspiracy can come up with a big case! Director, are you going to remake "Chibi"?
I wonder if the version I'm watching is an abridged version. I can't find this film in Xunlei, usually the things I can't find in Xunlei are relatively yellow, but I haven't seen anything in the film that is not suitable for children. Must have been cut. The rhythm is chaotic. The actors don't have amazing performances, the storyline is old-fashioned, the film's music fails, and the emotional portrayal isn't subtle enough, so what's left?
The remaining socialist slogan floats over New York:
"Few births, good births, a happy life..."
