Female: But I feel that the director is always playing hide-and-seek with the audience! In the film, the theme is definitely not easy to say, that is too low, if the theme of each film is extracted, you will find only one or two sentences of chicken soup, but these are the thoughts and philosophy of life, the director hides them In the story, there may be tricks, hiding, going around in circles, using plots, pictures, etc. to present it in different ways, but in the end, the director still hopes that the audience can understand his thoughts, so that everyone can see his creativity and artistic talent. I don't understand, can the judges give him the award? Woman: So you mean, if this film makes a breakthrough from the title, it should focus on analyzing Crazy Heart?
That's right! Let's sort out the first half of the plot. The key is to find out where the male protagonist's heart is. Is it in music?
Woman: Music is just his way of making a living, but it doesn't solve real problems for him. He doesn't seem to be happy! He sings to earn money, drink alcohol, and engage in women, and he said, no matter how good a song is, it will be boring to sing.
well said! The music created by the male protagonist inspires all his fans and fans, and the wonderful melody accompanies them throughout their lives, but what does music really bring to this musician? no!
Let's see again, the heroine, the new girlfriend of the hero, a single mother, where is her heart?
Woman: On her son?
right! Then something happened, the male protagonist lost his girlfriend's child, and he really began to show a sense of responsibility. But it doesn't help, because his lazy state has already been labelled by everyone, and even his girlfriend thinks that he is an alcoholic and an irresponsible person, and he can't change it!
Let's look at the male protagonist's previous appearance, his behavior is vulgar, he calls the agent, and all the words about prostitution of his sister come out, and he thinks he is humorous and handsome, how do you let others think of him, do you respect women?
Note: At this time, his heart still has no home, no place to stay.
This man is a prodigal son. He has no home, and his son does not recognize him. The key is that his heart does not know where to go. But we have to think that the heart of a musician has always been with music.
Attentive audiences will find that after the male protagonist quit drinking, the tone of the music has also calmed down, including his behavior and style... It can be seen that the male protagonist has calmed down at this time, no longer as sloppy and prodigal as before. .
Woman: That's right! That's when I found out that he's actually quite handsome! I feel that his heart is as quiet as he has found a home!
This is where the heart resides! When the prodigal son returns, the heart must settle down first, emphasizing the return of the soul!
Female: His heart is really quiet, thinking and planning his life, no longer cynical, he began to let go, sent grudges, and took the initiative to help his apprentice write the best songs.
Our key point is to see the male protagonist at the venue and tune the scene. At that time, there was a conflict between the soundtrack and the male protagonist, that is, the lead singer, and the male protagonist emphasized his professional level. In the end, everyone listened to the male protagonist...
Female: But this kind of Things are supposed to be commonplace!
But don't forget, the director wants to explain at this time:
tuning is a perfect state that every musician should pursue.
What is tuning? In fact, it is tuning. Only when the heart is in harmony with the feeling of music can it resonate!
Woman: Oh, if you say that, I have a feeling. It's a symbolic technique! In other words, the musician's heart has not been settled before, that is, the crazy heart, and the music has not been tuned to the best state.
exactly! So you see, the film is to convey ideas through these artistic techniques.
At the end of the film, the heroine finds him. At this time, love comes again. If he can grasp the music, grasp the heart, he will definitely grasp the love.
Woman: But women are already married to other men! Why is it designed like this, isn't it bad to have a happy ending, why do you have to leave these regrets?
Well, let's analyze the end of the film. Your so-called happy ending will not work. This has to be considered from an artistic perspective. Let's not miss any dialogue and pictures.
At this time, what should not appear in the two-person world?
First: the girlfriend's son should not appear, there is no need!
Second: The woman is married, but it doesn't matter, the protagonist has found his true self, because he has his own name.
Third: How should I spend the money I just got? Don't buy wine anymore. At this time, the male protagonist's heart has found its destination. As a gift for his girlfriend's son, it is enough for him to conquer a woman's heart! At this time, the man's heart is no longer trying to occupy, but is optimistic and peaceful, blessing each other, and the prodigal son's heart has found a home.
Woman: You mean, his heart is always attuned to music. As for him, it doesn't matter if he has a woman or not?
That's right! Musicians will always accompany and love women will always belong to music!
Money is nothing, it will come back after all the money is gone, and the people who give it to music all his life, bring people the most beautiful things, let alone take money seriously.
Artists are the most generous to the world!
So you see, to freeze in such a picture, the meaning is long, harmonious and meaningful!
Woman: I feel that the reunion in the eyes of the artist is really different from that of the common people!
exactly! The beauty of art is a state of mind, a state of ecstasy and transformation, not like the tea, rice, oil and salt in the mortal world, whose parents are short...
Female: Well, when two people watch the scenery, if there is beauty, there must be music.
Heart and music must belong, calm down, and position. This is the true harmony pursued by musicians. The film tells us such a thought:
all good things, whether it is music, wine, lover, love words, should appear in the most suitable place, in the right time, in moderation, in the right amount, in order to form the most beautiful scenery...
Female: Oh, now I understand, the artist's crazy heart, to be attuned to the most beautiful things in the world, can present the most beautiful scenery!
In fact, many Oscar-winning films are about the themes of aesthetics such as music, song and dance, the City of Philharmonic, the City of Absolute Beauty, Black Swan, Drunk Country Ballads, etc.
But I found that the audience didn't seem to capture more valuable things with a keen perspective. Often stories of this type of subject matter generally do not have too much passion, ups and downs, life-and-death relations and bloody bridges, they are always narration, but let you experience what music is and what is the life of an artist. pursuit of the frontier.
Therefore, we audiences have to sip the taste a little bit like a cup of tea. The key is to find the eye of the show, so that we can see through the thoughts that the director wants to convey and reach a peak height...
Female: I feel that the more the subject matter is related to art, the more It's not easy to write, the more you look at the skill! The starting point of this theme has already been raised. The director's subtext: I want to talk about art, please pay attention... At this time, all audiences are looking forward to your presentation method and artistic perspective!
