We are a generation deeply influenced by Japanese cartoons, American films and TV series from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We know very little about European culture, and what we know is limited to the knowledge in history textbooks. The story tells the story of a conductor of a band who, in order to fulfill a dream - to play Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, waited 30 years for the opportunity to come to Paris from Russia with his temporary band members. play. However, 30 years is enough to change a lot of things. The former band members have their own purposes in Paris. No one participated in the rehearsal. Even a few minutes before the performance, some members were selling private goods brought from Russia at the entrance of the theater.
In the end, inspired by the music, the band successfully performed Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, which won the applause of the audience. In the world, everyone has their own musical instruments and talents. When performing, they gather and play together, hoping to create a magical sound and achieve harmony. This is the real communism." The actor said to his friends before the performance. This sentence is what impressed me the most in the whole film. It expounds communism from a musical point of view, which is very unique.
The simple "little people, big dreams" style plot, with the right performance of the male protagonist and the symphony as the background music, became very emotional, and I haven't shed so many tears for a movie for a long time. In fact, this is not a tragedy, and there is no crying scene in the play, which can impress the audience, especially someone like me who knows nothing about symphony and has never been exposed to French cinema. I think it is the resonance of human beings for music. People pursue ideals.
In busy or busy life, we have not forgotten our ideals, do not worry about failure, and do not think that the chance of success is only 1/3. Even if we are just a speck of dust on an asteroid in the universe, or we simply live in fantasy and deception, we cherish all of these and are still happily tossing around. As the years pass by, there will be a touch of sadness and helplessness, but from the time, a calm and calmness has also precipitated. I remembered my favorite sentence, "We can't extend the length of life, so try to increase the width of life".
As for the political and religious backgrounds, French humor, and French and Russian in the play, I can't seem to understand them. After all, they are all too far from our lives, but what does it matter? That's just a movie, that's all.

A group of musicians who were frozen and strangled in the Soviet era "pretends" to be members of the current band and went to the concert of Kaichai Xiaoxie in Paris! It sounds interesting. The sincere love and pursuit of music and life behind the story is even more touching, especially when the beautiful violin concerto at the end is sometimes like a trickle and sometimes like a surging river! The comedy treatment is a bit over the top, and the CP conference at the end has no text, and the film is still a little superficial.

In the previous paragraph, it was suspected that the father and daughter recognized each other, but at the end, it was revealed that the musicians had a troubled life to expose the powerlessness and helplessness of music in front of the political situation. At the end, Chai D made me cry with excitement, not because of what I thought of, but because I finally realized the harmony and soundness of the symphony through the combination of the camera and the music. It was an extraordinary shock. PS It turns out that Chinese cottages are already well-known, if the band is so good without practice after 30 years, it can only be surreal
