The music biopic "Out of Pitch" restores the legendary story of Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep), a famous American soprano in the 1930s and 1940s. Love music, be enthusiastic about public welfare, and be charitable. Indulge in your own beautiful singing, indulge in the love of followers. Sitting on a huge legacy, her life is so wonderful and happy for her before and after her lover takes good care of her. But the fact is that Florence, the dream maker, had her own flaws when she started compiling this wonderful thing. The precious thing is that those congenital and acquired flaws failed to pierce her dream after all.

She is peculiar and amazing
. Everyone knows that pop singers hold concerts or singers hold elegant concerts. Whether it is a large four-sided stage or a small mini venue, the organizers and singers will hope that the more tickets are sold. the better. However, the large and small concerts held by Florence have restricted the sale of tickets, which shows that her purpose must not be profit. In addition, even if the tickets are sold in limited quantities, it can be regarded as a kind of hunger marketing, and the quicker the people who buy them will be able to enter the venue and enjoy the performance. It's not easy to hear Florence sing live. Her husband and manager, Mr. St. Clair (Hugh Grant), sets a threshold for the audience, and everyone who buys a ticket must pass him. Strict and careful screening in person. First of all, it cannot be a person who loves music and purely pursues listening enjoyment. Second, whether you have heard Florence's singing, if it is a new audience, it will basically be turned away.

Naive, she is ridiculed
With the support of friends and the support of a small audience, Florence always thought that her singing was so beautiful that she could be as famous as several sopranos at that time. She is not even satisfied with her own small concerts, she wants to compete with rising stars in the music world, and she has to hold a public concert of 3,000 people at Carnegie Hall regardless of the consequences. Because of her wayward pursuit, her husband took great pains to maintain that fragile truth. It was like a raging fire that couldn't keep the paper balls. Florence loved her music career so much that she heard the song on the radio, so she recorded her singing on vinyl records. She wanted to bring this wonderful music to those who were suffering from the war (in 1944), and she sent the records to the radio. Young people are clamoring for Florence's records, just to have fun with such absurd and harsh singing under the popular gramophone. Not only that, Florence gave away 1,000 tickets without authorization to the soldiers who went to the front to fight, because she believed that music could heal the wounded body and mind of the soldiers. On the night of the concert, the soldiers experienced such out-of-tune for the first time live, with exaggerated boos and malicious jeers.

Passionate she conquers people
Florence has always been generous and helpful, and has gained many master-level friendships in the music industry. At first, the young pianist participated in the selection of accompanists with confidence in order to get a well-paid job. The pianist was very happy because he got the performance job, but when he knew that he would perform at Carnegie Hall with such a bad singing skill as Florence, he refused to play, the pianist thought it was out of tune for such a person The so-called singer's recital ruined his own reputation. Until she played for Florence every day, watching her diligently practice and indulge in the self-satisfaction of music, her passion for music eliminated the torment caused by illness. Under the subtle influence of her, the pianist was also moved by her, and he hoped to accompany her as the best accompaniment, thinking it was a feat worth practicing. On the night of the concert, Florence saw the soldiers roaring with laughter, and she had stage fright, not because she realized the truth, but because she thought it was weird, and she was puzzled. At this time, the two audience members who were laughing for the first time stood up for her, scolded the rude soldiers, and led the audience to encourage Florence to continue performing. The concert went on one after another, and the soldiers stopped their commotion and dissatisfaction. Maybe even they were surprised that they would find something beautiful in such an alternative song and could enjoy it quietly. The concert ended successfully, and Florence's musical dream was greatly satisfied. She moved and conquered everyone with such ignorant and fearless enthusiasm. Maybe this is a strange thing in the history of music, if you don't mind the out-of-tune non-mainstream, this is not a prosperous era in the history of music.

Florence Foster Jenkins quotes

  • St Clair Bayfield: Are you fond of sandwiches?

    Cosmé McMoon: Yes.

    St Clair Bayfield: Good, good. Madam Florence is inordinately fond of sandwiches. And potato salad as well. When we throw parties we make mountains of the stuff. It would serve you well to consume both with enthusiasm.

    Cosmé McMoon: I shall.

  • St Clair Bayfield: If you can forgive Madam Florence her little eccentricities, you'll find her to be a most generous and delightful person. Ours is a very happy world.
