Don't think of Chinese movies!

Rebellion and subversion are the background color of everyone's blood, and music can often amplify this background color and make this blood boil. Just like the beginning of "Cape No. 7", along with the melody of the music, along with the broken guitar, the sentence "Fuck your mother Taipei" resounded in the sky in an instant; in "Cow Herding Class Spring", a burst of The childish voice and innocent eyes are so refreshing; the little guys who don't match up play rock and roll in "School of Rock" and make the audience go crazy; in "Once", the only lovers who can't be together are in Snuggling up with each other in music...and in this British musical comedy "Pirate Radio", government and decree, in the face of rock-and-roll, seem so hypocritical and ridiculous, as if they were born to be subverted .

The plot of the film is based on real events. In the 1960s, pop music swept the world, but the territory of the Kingdom of Great Britain strictly restricted the broadcast of popular music on the radio. A group of crazy DJs who love music, wandering in the vast ocean, use pirate radio to broadcast to people all over the UK 24 hours a day, and this is touching the sensitive nerves of the government, and began to strangle the pirate radio in every possible way... This film The screenwriter and director is the famous Richard Curtis, have you seen "Four Weddings and One Funeral"? Do you like Notting Hill? Have you heard of "BJ's Single Diary"? "Love Actually" is awesome, right? They are all works of this buddy. After coming out this time, he really did an extraordinary job. He drew inspiration from his real experience of hiding in bed and eavesdropping on the radio when he was a child, and redrawn people's enthusiasm for music in that era. The characters, the stories of each person have been carefully polished, clear and distinct, with distinct personalities. Let us not only experience the desire of people for music in that era, but also be deeply moved by the group of people in the film who regard music as their life.

The system, from the moment it was enacted, gave birth to order and change, along with oppression and resistance. The two are like heads and tails of a coin, and when the authorities wish to always be obedient heads up, there will always be a corresponding or even stronger force to bring the opposing sides back to light. Just like the end of "Pirate Radio", when the hull tilted and the sinking was imminent, the government ship that had been hoped for did not appear. On the contrary, ordinary people who also loved music rushed to the scene in groups, and the call for help became Cheers, disasters turned into carnivals, music sank into the bottom of the sea, but it has already taken root in everyone's hearts.

Now that I have finished writing, I once again think of domestic movies and our censorship system with Chinese characteristics. I quickly stop, shake my head and sigh, wash my head and sleep.

In my dream, will I dream of a less depressing domestic film industry? Come back and tell you the answer.
