In fact, this film is a bit literary, a bit dull, without any color or turbulence. If you are not a big lover of classical music, you should not like this kind of straightforward narrative. The picture is simple and the tone seems to be a little dark.
The film always alternates between the reporter's narration and the cellist's babble, and then rushes from finding out that he's helping him, to a break in their relationship, to a deeper friendship again. Here's what the critics said about the film: It's about love, about revelation, and about the power of people to help each other. What we see in the story is a life-changing friendship.
Maybe I can't see it that deeply, but through the film, I can feel the cellist's passion for music, that passion drives him crazy, but it is also the driving force for his life. The film review mentioned the use of Beethoven's No.3 and No.9 symphonies because he seemed to express the core of the cellist's love of music. Beethoven is also seriously ill, but he still loves music, fearless, ignoring the prejudice of the world against him, and clinging to his own musical world. Such fanaticism and paranoia resonated with the cellist in the film. In the process of contacting the cellist, the reporter also completed self-exploration. From him, we can see the growth process that everyone will go through, including myself, evading, unwilling to take responsibility, not understanding the other party's thoughts, insisting on one's own way, self-righteousness , Hypocrisy... But these will change because of some things, the reporter is because of the cellist's love of music, and we ourselves will change because of what?
It is such a story adapted from a true story, but it makes me feel that my soul feels something fresh. Sometimes I think, maybe crazy and stupid people are smart, they recognize themselves more and cherish what they love more, just like this genius cellist with schizophrenia, he is actually very simple, pure only He loves his cello, he doesn't want to compare himself with anyone, he doesn't want to make a living with it, he doesn't want it to become a business, he just doesn't want to sully his dreams, his love, this sincerity, this obsession, I'm afraid we will be captured by reality unimaginable to the common man. The reporter began to think that he had saved him, but later, he was also confused, and gradually realized that he was not saving him but pushed him into the mud. The one who was really saved was actually this reporter, the cellist's Innocence, ego and passion for music gave him a chance to cleanse his soul.
After watching the film, my heart was a little heavy, but it was more moving. At the end of the film, the two of them sat in the theater and listened to Beethoven's symphony. It was very touching. I would ask myself, have you ever loved anything so fervently? Have you ever met someone or something that moved you and contributed to your self-discovery?
Life is a rare confidant! ! Especially confidants who can save your soul! !
