First of all,

the men and women of two different schools in the rivers and lakes fell in love at first sight and had a passion for one night. But due to reality, the two separated. After October, the female hero gave birth to a son, but was secretly sent away by her father without knowing it. It was not until he died that he told his daughter that he really wanted to. In ten years, the situation has changed, and the two of them are in the sky, but they are both depressed and withdraw from the arena, but they don't know that their son grows up slowly, looking for his parents everywhere. What is even more rare is that this child is talented in martial arts. Under the training of an elder of the Beggar Gang, his potential is stimulated, and he lives incognito by performing arts in order to find his parents. By chance, he joined another sect and created a unique martial arts here. The leader was very surprised, so he decided to arrange the disciples of this sect to learn this martial arts, and invited a famous female hero from this sect back then—— That is, the child's mother came to cheer. At the same time, the child's father also miraculously came to the local area to discuss with the teenager without knowing it. Until the beginning of the martial arts conference, with the help of magical telepathy, the three finally gathered and finally reunited.
Isn't it a cliche plot? The young genius is talented, has no father or mother, and has many adventures. In the end, he is proud of the rivers and lakes, and he has the shadow of Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji. But this kind of plot is completely different in another environment - "August Love", the music version of the martial arts movie, brings the same story mode, but has a different flavor. Music is different from martial arts. Everyone can touch it, and it is possible to feel the power in it, which can bring people a more intuitive and real feeling. The perfect cooperation of different musical instruments in the film closely fits the mood of the characters and brings a more shocking effect. From the huge ups and downs of wheat waves at the beginning of the film to the interplay of various sounds on the street, they all profoundly demonstrate the theme of "music is everywhere", showing not only beauty. It inspires us to open our eyes to discover beauty. The original "martial arts" created by the young man in the movie is inspired by the usual situation. Just like Yang Guo's creation of Ecstasy, the mood plus the situation, the strength plus luck, the success becomes unbelievably simple.

I watched the whole play with tears in my eyes, but after a careful taste, I finally figured it out. It is the music that enhances the feeling of the whole play. In the substituting music, a play with a bizarre and possible plot also becomes warm and tender. , makes me want to believe that this is a fairy tale, a fairy tale full of love.
"August Love" is not only limited to music, it expresses a kind of persistent belief and the courage not to give up. The songs sung by the people in the church express this, and the storyline of this film is also that a child faces all kinds of difficulties, but he still insists on his dreams and wishes, and finally finds his parents through music. And the "melody in the heart" that many people say in the movie may not be so magical, but just like Tristin can hear the inner voice in "The Burning Years", no matter how many fetters there are in the world, as long as we are willing to listen, we can all Hear your inner voice and stay true to yourself without wavering.
All in all, there are many coincidences in the movie, and there seems to be a hint of magic in the movie, and the telepathy between the teenager and his parents is too strong to be outrageous. At the beginning of the movie, it took less than five minutes for the two of them to meet and kiss, which made me feel that even Aunt Qiong Yao would be ashamed, and as the movie progressed, I felt more and more that this was not a Qiong Yao drama but a Jin Yong drama. Since we can tolerate the countless adventures of the protagonist in the martial arts world and all kinds of masters flying all over the sky, I don't think we have any reason to accuse "August Love" of anything wrong. As long as you can find a touch of emotion and feel the lingering but infinite power of music, it is already an unexpected surprise.
