I didn't understand it at the beginning, thinking that the male protagonist's son was also one of the victims in the shooting, so I imagined the big development of the story. The father and another boy he met were arrested because of his son's posthumous music. The tender story of salvation, I slowly understood after seeing the hero and his ex-wife cleaning the tombstones in the cemetery. After that, the development of the story also reached a climax. Various Mao Duns and controversial topics were displayed in front of the audience. The emotional catharsis of the actors, the appeal of the music in the film. Personally, I find the second half of the film to be very impressive.
At the beginning of the film, I saw my son Josh recording songs in the dormitory. He was no different from an ordinary college student. His father, Sam, was a typical modern elite. He had a successful career but rarely cared about his family. Son Josh turned out to be the gunman who killed 6 students and then committed suicide. Sam gave up his old life to become a painter and lived on a small ferry. I numb myself with alcohol at night. Until one day, his ex-wife gave him his son's relics. When he was sorting out, he found the songs recorded by his son before he died, and he learned to play and sing them. By chance, he sang his son's songs in a bar, and was caught by a young guy quentin. Attracted, q thinks he must have good music, so he hopes to play music with him. During the days they were together, sam gradually felt the joy of life again, and q gradually became better, and their band began to gain popularity.
The first half of the film is well developed, they have a great opportunity to perform, it's a moment of talent for the three young guys in the band, but it turns out that sam's songs were written by his son , by the criminal who killed 6 people. Q naturally won't accept it, his relationship with Sam has also reached a low ebb, and Band has also given up the opportunity to perform at this music festival. How the story should develop at this time is also a topic that the film gives us to think about.
Why can't the music of a child who has made mistakes be accepted by everyone?
Should parents be blamed for their children's mistakes?
When we judge others from the highest point of morality, please put yourself in a different position and think about it. There is a scene in the film, Sam is crying bitterly at the school shooting memorial, and all the depression and grief are vented at that moment. Come out, he is also just a father, a father who has lost his son.
The film is an open ending, q did not give up and re-formed the band. sam is singing his son's "sing along" in the bar,
my son's name is josh, he killed 6 people two years ago, this is his song......

    "Xiao Shou" was caught in the grip of "Old Attack". Many things are really a dilemma. As a father, I can't get out of it, and I can't face it. What should I do? . .

    School shootings are a shame for America. Father Frank stopped badass and became a director. Let a father sing his son's relic and be cast aside. It was later revealed that he was the son of the murderer. In the end, this father sang the song of the murderer's son. It was a lot of guilt, sadness and self-blame, but it was also a relief.
