She is lonelier than fireworks - there is no sorrow

When I was in the second year of study, the tutor taught a course called "Art Appreciation", which covered many types of arts such as calligraphy, painting, music, porcelain, architecture, etc. It seemed that it was a bit broad but not specialized. I think the original intention of the tutor may be just I think "the master leads the door", "the practice is in the individual". Remember that the end of the class is to write a small thesis. I am writing about music, I have forgotten the title, but I remember the books I have read, including "Sound Without Sorrow", "European Music History", "Western Music History", etc. "What impressed me most. Its discussion involves a series of issues in music aesthetics, such as the ontology and essence of music, the relationship between sound and emotion in music appreciation, and the function of music. Ji Kang said that "the heart and the sound are clearly two things", that is, the change of the music itself, the beauty and the unbeautiful, have nothing to do with people's emotional sadness and happiness. , music only plays the role of inducement and medium. From this, he put forward the view that "sound has no sadness and music", that is, music is an objectively existing sound, and sadness and music are people's original and touched emotions, and there is no causal relationship between the two. I agree with this view.

So, what does "She's Lonely Than Fireworks" (or translated "Crazy Cello", formerly known as "Hilary and Jackie") convey to me? Known as a genius cellist, Jackie was originally just a clumsy little girl who was not as good as her sister. Just to be able to do a lot of things together with her sister, she started her cello career, obsessed, apprenticed, and practiced diligently. Finally being able to hold a concert, it went so smoothly that she didn't understand what it all meant, until she found out that the tour was full and without her sister, she said "I actually hate the cello, I don't want to be a musician", Reputation, focus, applause... all of them are actually not what she wants. Until she knew that her husband wouldn't love her who didn't play the piano, she felt utterly lonely, she ran away from the concert without saying goodbye, and even went to the country to share her sister's husband. The elder sister changed from being cold to loving, and the brother-in-law changed from anger to obedience. Even so, Jackie, who hummed in love, was still lonely. To what extent can people understand each other? Or is this understanding an impossibility? Jackie, destined to be lonely, has only the cello to accompany him. In the tremor of the piano, she exhausted her mind, "playing the piano like this will not last long." The Elgar Violin Concerto reverberates at every emotional climax of Jackie, throughout. Is it Jackie's sorrow, or Elgar's joy, or is it only ancient loneliness? On what basis did her relationship with her sister Hilary and related people develop?

Jackie has never grown up, she only needs her sister to hold her hand, cross the river, cross the mountains...as long as the company and warmth together. When they are dying, the sisters' mutual company is the most reassuring place.
