Ronnie After the pianist father Steve was obsessed with his career and divorced from his mother, he never touched the keys again. During the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Roni reluctantly and her younger brother came to the beach on Tybee Island, where her father lived. As a result, Roni got to know the boy Will, who made him tempted, and her relationship with her father eased, and the warmth was strong, but Steve died of an incurable disease. At the memorial service, Roni once again In front of everyone, I sat in front of the piano and played again...
The beauty of "making mistakes"
is addictive, and this addiction comes from exploring where your emotional bottom line is. Roni's indifference to Will when she first met her and her indifference to her father's concern were not "silly and naive" expressions. A nest of unborn turtle eggs can arouse her emotions. Can't two big living people show their love to her every day? Naturally, the stubbornness and willfulness of adolescence had a great influence on her attitude, but the subconsciousness that "life is perfect only with regrets" is the main culprit that caused Roni to reject other people's emotions at the beginning of the movie.
The result of making mistakes is to pay the price or be forgiven. And the director's favorite scene is to make the characters pay the price and be forgiven after they make mistakes. It is the most satisfying thing for directors to see an audience with watery eyes walking out of the cinema. When Roni played the "last song" at her father's memorial service; when the sunlight outside the church shone on Roni - this is a kind of beauty intertwined with regret and forgiveness. We all look forward to a father who is tolerant and understanding like Steve, and a boyfriend who is rich and low-key like Will and has a 100-point temper. But unfortunately, that's not possible. Regardless of the director's intentions, "The Last Song" tells us a simple and cruel fact: this emotion is also "one thing falls to one thing". And the unfortunate pine nuts in another "Pine Nuts' Disgusted Life" are definitely the undoubted "negative teaching materials" to verify this truth.
Needless to say, people's emotions are also "snobby", and Loni's charm lies in "rejecting others before being rejected". This kind of lethal and penetrating emotional cloak makes others love and hate, and this is Roni's trump card.
There are again and again, not again and again. Roni's emotional bottom line lies in this "again and again". After she and Will had a wonderful night of "Saving the Turtles", Roni voluntarily backed down and showed unprecedented kindness to Will. And seeing the happy Will dance with the shark in the water, Roni's "mistake" was rewarded, how could she not be overjoyed! Naturally, the director's intention is not to make Roni a scheming "emotional conspirator", the beauty of literature and art, without one or two "subconscious knowingly committed" characters, can't construct "incomplete beauty". Just like Aini in "Being the Head", just like He Feng in "Thirteen Paulownias", she is both flat and cute.
Emotions: Our weakness, our strength
, "It's gone, we know what it means to be gone", yes, emotion didn't give you a chance to sing "the last song", the sudden departure of father Steve made Roni truly Experience the greatness of my father. The disorder of emotion makes its explosive power more violent. Roni opened her heart and dared to express her emotions, which is also due to the powerful power of this emotion. In the face of the gun, the death row prisoner was not afraid of danger, and in the face of a word of admonition from his lover, he burst into tears. Emotions are our common weakness.
"The Last Song" plays the emotional card. When weakness becomes strength, when regret creates forgiveness, the audience's tears naturally flow out after the director's order. The same is true of "Tangshan Earthquake", which controls the audience's tear glands. Who can control whether the characters are seductive or not, and whether the scene is grand? When "The Last Song" sounded after the end, this emotion turned into a fist, hitting Ronnie and each of us hard.
This kind of emotion that acts as a "warning" can really hold everyone. Yes, a "the person who loves me the most in the world has gone", "the person I hurt the most in the world has gone", isn't this emotional price enough to resist the rebelliousness and stubbornness of adolescence?
Emotions did not give anyone the chance to "last song", but gave everyone the courage to "sing" again.
