Being in the Big Apple, the band in the bar, the violin in the square, the Be-Bop in the subway, and the erhu in the park will instantly raise your aesthetic threshold for folk performing arts to the highest level. Those in big European cities are already amazing enough. Folk musicians were quickly killed. It seems that if he does not reach a certain attainments and cultivation, he is completely embarrassed to sing and set up stalls.
However, a lot of geniuses don't make it here, like Llewyn Davis, who was beaten outside the bar in "The Ballad of the Drunken Country." I've been to that bar that has changed its name many times, and the band on stage plays a banjo. Qin sang a lively American country ballad, and the excited lead singer stood on the drum and shouted: "I really love myself, and I have to play with my name every morning." Another underappreciated Llewyn.
Therefore, Keira Knightley and Adam Levine, who played the singer-songwriter couple in "Go Again", are the lucky ones who "can succeed anywhere", but according to the plot of the movie, there is a first-come, first-served order. Unlike the Coen brothers who show the real ruthlessness of Llewyn's failed life, Little Fresh director John Carney's love poems dedicated to New York are warm and meaningful. Compared with Dublin, the city of folk songs in the previous work "Once", the rich diversity of New York first makes the soundtrack dominated by Adam Levine and his band Maroon 5 to a higher level; New Yorkers are full of opportunities The story of coincidence is also destined to be much more exciting than the dull and peaceful Dublin.
Or the New York show full of hope and disappointment, let the three people with stories in "Go Again" meet together. Greta, a British girl who was cheated on by a famous singer, Dan, a record producer who was in a bottleneck in her career, and Steve, a nerd who sold songs on the street. The movie went hand in hand and brought the three together on the stage. Greta reluctantly finished a song. "One Step You Can't Take Back".
In the noisy bar where few people listened carefully to amateur singers, the producer found a good voice that he had been looking for for many years, and the proud female Wenqing met Hao Bole. It has always been a clever play structure. In order to bear fruit in New York with the highest nutritional standards, green leaves as supporting roles came over, academic sisters and brothers who are tired of classical music, funk musicians with solid basic skills, rebellious daughters who hide a talent for guitar, and violent people who are eager to reciprocate. Rich hip-hop singers, and even kids playing basketball in the poor alleys, are like musical instruments entering one after another, making this daring record set against a real city scene, reaching the most colorful climax of the arrangement.
At the same time, Greta's popular star ex-boyfriend Dave developed the sub-theme of this New York symphony poem, and in an effort to save the relationship, changed the part at the end of the film to A duet of love songs that are neither happy nor sad, and set off for each other again.
As early as the middle of the last century, New York, which had been sculpted with a warm character by the musical "West Side Story", deserves to be further demonstrated by a musical film like "Go Again" in the new century. "If I can be successful there, I'll be successful wherever I go, it's up to you, New York, New York." It's equally fair to music and love.
