Nathaniel is an idealist, even if he suffers from racism, even if the mother who loves him the most in the world dies, even if he is schizophrenic because of escapism, as long as he touches the cello, he is still moved by the heart And hair moved. In the park, in the underpass, in the slum, anywhere, he immersed himself in the world of his music, with or without an audience. He can wander, he can have no fancy food, he can have no dignity, but he cannot live without music. Lopez is a realist, so he's far better off than Nathaniel. He self-righteously helps Nathaniel, thinks he is the savior, and succeeds by writing Nathaniel's column, in fact, he is a poor man without faith. In his life, music is boring, marriage is a failure, and writing, which he once loved, is now just a means of making a living. Lopez, who has lost his faith, is actually far less real than Nathaniel has been. Nathaniel's obsessive belief in music made Lopez reflect on his life, from seeing Nathaniel as a stepping stone to success to actually seeing him as a friend. He started writing, and thus, had the original novel for the film.
Some time ago, I read "The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life". People in that era were full of ideals and were obsessed with beliefs. Just after watching the TV series, I found that I still have no faith. It's a sad thing to live like a walking dead every day, just running for a living. Nathaniel asked if Lopez was a writer, and Lopez replied that he just made a living by writing. In fact, why don't we have ideals, but when the ideals are brought into reality, how many people can stick to it?
