If you meet him, please just be his confidant and friend.
After listening to keria sing the song a step you can't take back, I knew that I would like this movie, because there is almost no opening scene, only her Dedicated to all lonely people, I burst into tears while listening. The more lonely people are, the more eager they are to be understood. During the process of Keria singing, almost no one is listening carefully. It is very lonely like Eason Chan's King of Songs.
This is how I understand singer-songwriters. Without the influence of market and money, their songs are actually their souls. They want to be understood and read, but there are very few understandings that can achieve their expectations, so they become more and more Lonely, and increasingly unable to show their courage.
Greta (played by Keria) is lucky that one person in the crowd other than her best friend gets hit. So there is a second interpretation of this song, and it is also the second version, because in his world, the original simple guitar playing and singing has added an entire band! When the frequency is right, is your world instantly full of flowers and trees budding? That's what it feels like, again tears welling up in my eyes.
If you meet that person, please only be his confidant and friend.
Before Greta met dan, she and dave were an enviable couple. The two singer-songwriters admired each other and loved each other deeply. Greta's Christmas gift to dan was a song she wrote. Such a romantic gift is I can't think of what ordinary people like me can't do, but everything changed with Dave's popularity. Dave met another person who understood him, soulmate, and she fled in front of their love.
Before Dan met Greta, he was very depressed. Before that, he and Miram got married after listening to the playlists on their mobile phones and traveling around the city. And the result of 18 years of marriage is that Miram met another person, soulmate, and fell in love.
After Greta and dan met, Greta in dan's eyes is magical, even more than bourbon, the magic that can make the piano stand up; dan in Greta's eyes has talent that can be admired and looked up to, and Be able to read her and understand what she believes in her. "You can get to know a person through a list of songs on a person's mobile phone" is so true, because you can even judge a person's emotional state by looking at the songs that a person has listened to recently. One night, they listened to the songs on Greta's mobile phone, walked through the streets, danced and sang and danced. I can feel that in a noisy bar, when the two of them danced with headphones to the music that belonged to them only. Is it too romantic! Who can deny that this is not love! However, they didn't have more intimate things as we hoped, and the appearance of the roommate Fatty was reasonable and reasonable. I can understand that dan is thinking and Greta is hesitant.
Greta and dave After Greta sent him a message and sang like a fool, dave changed his mind, but as dan said, fame and fortune changed him, and even his style of writing and performing songs, what's worse is that he actually said you won Back to me...Dan and Miram, in the process of repairing their relationship with their daughter, making the album, their marriage has also been repaired.
Greta and dan have become partners who trust each other. They can cherish each other's partners at the loss of fame and fortune. This is the longest companionship. So, when you meet someone who will not make your soul lonely, please be his partner, confidant and friend~
The film also has a title called "can a song save your life?", and in fact there is such a line in the film. After listening to greta and singing a step you can't take back, Dan, who was down and out of work and drinking and who planned to commit suicide, found out what he had to do next, and the world had a direction. The delinquent boy who blackmailed Dan for a cigarette lighter while recording a song in the alley, after chorus for the coming up roses, his eyes showed the innocent and bright eyes unique to the boy. After Dan and his daughter collaborated on the score for tell me if you wanna go home, the relationship was restored, and the appreciation and worship of each other was re-established...can a song save your life? It must be!
The biggest feature of the film, I think, lies in several points The major turning points are all changes in the music, there are almost no lines to describe what happened, just rely on the performance of the actors and the interpretation of the song, like the interpretation of the two versions of the opening song, Greta found that dave fell in love with someone else, dave changed his mind, On the night where the story between Greta and Dan was supposed to happen, Greta finally left Dave, and it was all about the release of emotions and the development of the plot in the music, or even with only the music. This is really amazing, no other movie can compare. of.

I love this movie so much, it's not a review, it's just an afterthought, I should revise it, but I'm so sleepy, good night~
