Director Jacques Odiya's "The Rhythm of My Heart Forgotten" is a film that adheres to the style of a consistent French film. However, the vivid elements of contradiction and conflict contained in the content of the film are tightly gripping and memorable. However, the technical style of the film is not the focus of my heart, it is the human phenomenon expressed by the story that affects my heart.
The protagonist of "The Rhythm My Heart Forgot" redeemed himself from a combative, bloody street thug to a pianist. The main line of this story seems to be exaggerated and contradictory, but under the performance of the realistic film narrative technique, it is natural and true.
First of all, music has no objection to the infectious power of human nature. The mother of the protagonist Thomas is a pianist. She has been nurtured in the atmosphere of music since she was a child. The perception of music and art has been integrated into the blood and has become a part of human nature. For the vast majority of people in this world, when they came to this world as beings, their blood and cells carried some kind of special talent. Some people are sensitive to music, some people are sensitive to numbers, and some people are sensitive to color. . . This innate nature needs to be discovered and guided to be fully released, so as to achieve self-fulfillment. But there are very few people in the world who are fortunate enough to fully release the essence of human nature. Because we live in an objective and impermanent world.
Will in "Good Will Hunting" is born with an extraordinary talent in mathematics, but he also wanders the streets, fighting and fighting, and earning a living by doing odd jobs until Professor Rambo finds out. Real life has always been against human nature like this. Many people are deeply or shallowly aware of their own natural talents, and have a strong desire to be able to do things that are driven by nature, the so-called dreams. But most people are defeated in the confrontation with real life, giving up the persistence of strong desire. After the death of Thomas' pianist mother, he lacked the power to drive his nature, and his father was a selfish guy who only knew how to make money all day long. He was defeated in the confrontation with real life, so he also wandered the streets and became a so-called real estate practitioner who used violence to drive out homeless people.
In fact, impermanent life is not always against human nature, and occasionally she will give you a gentle hug. Will meets Professor Rambo, and Thomas meets his mother's piano manager. "You are very talented... I have high expectations for you" ----- A few simple words of encouragement from the manager made Thomas rekindle his piano dream and began to drive his natural self. Many times the change of human nature starts from identification, the identification of others and the identification of self. And self-identity is the hardest and most painful. But it is also the most important, because after self-identification, self-driving nature develops.
Thomas' life took a paradoxical turn when the musical instinct re-emerged. He has become sensitive to details. Previously, he arbitrarily judged his father's girlfriend to be a slut, and now he can sensitively perceive that he and the boss's wife are attracted to each other when they are alone. He found love and longed for it even more. There is growing rejection of jobs that use violence to evict house occupants. The pain of self-driven instinct comes not only from confronting the people and things in the original life, but also from confronting oneself. Thomas had to fight against the opposition of his father and colleagues, and he had to fight against himself constantly during piano practice to overcome his fear and anxiety. The pain of this confrontation, the film also expresses quite carefully, watching the female piano teacher in China who tutored Thomas, suffocating and roaring French in Vietnamese accent, you can get a glimpse of the taste.
Once Pandora's box was opened, things got out of hand. Thomas struggled to become more integrated with music and piano. As long as one finds the id and the self, people will become more rational. When Thomas was on the verge of catching the egg that killed his father's enemy, he didn't choose to shoot him. This may be the beauty of music, the power of love. It is the goodness of human nature. When he returned to the concert hall piano performance scene, Thomas finally completed the process of self-redemption and self-realization from a street thug to a pianist.
I believe that everyone has two lives. The second life is to break free from the shackles of real life before, to discover one's own nature, to discover some kind of gift in oneself, and then to follow one's own nature and start the road to rebirth. When does the day of rebirth begin? It may be when you feel your greatest happiness, or when you are in your most hopeless misery. Who knows? The important thing is that when a certain desire pushes you strongly, follow the trend, just like Thomas, there is electronic music in the headphones, but the fingers are involuntarily playing the rhythm lightly on the table, and the mouth matches the duan duan duan duan .....
Rebirth is to discover and regain the forgotten rhythm in accordance with the strongest desire in your heart. . .
