Peter, the father of the piano prodigy David, always reminds me of my father.
Because of his strong personality, his mother has no sense of presence at home. I have to live in the shadow of my father and fight against his autocracy and willfulness all the time. With a father like this, children would be very tired. By showing off his success to demean other family members, my father was never ashamed to do it.
To live with him is to blaze your own way; or, you have to sit on others and be mocked all your life, carry the psychological shadow of "tall father", and walk on the road of life for a long, long time.
But I don't hate my father, I love him very much. Because of his perseverance and his tough personality, I also learned a lot of things.
My best friend said that I am "soft tempered, hard-bodied". I am cowardly on the surface and do not have my own opinion. If I can bear it, I will let it go, but as long as it touches my most essential principle-"Blackening" "I am basically unstoppable.
I feel that I have a black belly, but my father described me as "devilish".
To be honest, this is thanks to him. Because of his autocratic rule, I learned to be like an earthworm, nestling in the soil. It is precisely because of his autocracy that I will act like a slave against the slave owner when I am upset. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. .
Therefore, I particularly understand the mental pressure faced by the hero of the movie, David Hefgart, when he left home for the first time to go to London for advanced music studies.
Father Peter said: "If you dare to walk out of this house, you will never be my son anymore!!" He didn't scare the little devil. To the extent of the old man's stubbornness, he just said, "If you leave, I will kill the door." He can do it too.
David is very awkward, and he can't make a fart with three sticks on weekdays-this time he has also risen.
"Just go! What's so great about it!?" I think he must say so in his heart.
At the beginning of the film, David's performance is basically a silly talk. You can't wait to repeat a sentence N times before you can find the main point he wants to express from his continuous language.
According to my friends who study psychology, the causes of TB and stammering are actually two extremes: stammering is thinking faster than speaking; while TB is the opposite, saying faster than thinking.
People who have the problem of talking are often aphasia at a certain period of their lives-that is, talking less. After being induced by a certain event (to put it bluntly, it means being stimulated), it is not TB, but eventually it becomes TB.
An authoritarian father, no right to speak, sudden freedom, Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 (referred to as Lasan)...
Such a combination is definitely not a cocktail therapy panacea, but a crazy one. Depth bomb. I also know that a kind child like David, who has a simple thought and independent personality, but who has grown up physically, will sooner or later be driven crazy by this song.
Everyone who has studied piano knows that if a person can control this work under the premise that the technique reaches the standard, it mainly depends on whether he can control the spirit that the composer wants to express. The "large chords" and the flowing waters in the "Rasan" score have proved the fact that Rachmaninov is a man with complicated thinking.
It's a pity, David Huffgott, he's not.
At the end of the "Rasan" performance, David finally fell ill... After falling ill, I understand that he became a child again.
He can't control the adult world. All he can grasp is the feelings of children who cannot be indulged under the iron curtain of his father-and now he can finally indulge.
Thinking about it now, I think David's first official piano teacher was right.
When his father Peter showed the score of "La San" to the teacher, he said, "Don't let him play this, he is not ready yet... Let's start with Mozart."
Mozart, who lived in his 30s , But still put the spirit of his music in the plastic wrap of his teenage childhood.
David, you are still a child, let us start with the joy of the child.
David Helfgott (David Helfgott), there is a man in the history of music. He was a musical prodigy when he was a teenager, but he was a late bloomer. It took more than half of his life to hold his first solo concert. The reason, like the movie, was that his father tied him at home and was not allowed to go abroad for further study. He used a Jewish paranoia to maintain the integrity of the family. But this kind of paranoia should come from here).
For this movie, I searched for Hefgott's recordings everywhere. It seems that the genius really has very little in his life. After looking through the domestic and foreign web pages, he found his only recording work.
The beginning of the repertoire is: Rachmaninov piano concerto No. 3... On
the cover of the record, David Hefgott has white hair like snow-he is no longer a child, and can finally control this work.
David in the movie, with the encouragement and support of his wife, successfully completed his first solo recital.
In fact, this is clearly praising the greatness of our women! I see it very usefully (...).
David was very lucky. He finally found someone who could understand what he said-most importantly, that person loved him, besides music, she also loved him.
To be honest, I'm really surprised how this guy would say "Can you marry me" to the real goddess so solemnly-and only said it once, and didn't make a lot of shots.
But this is also what touched me the most in this film. Perhaps for the first time, David finally wants to be a real adult.
Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto, whether it is Argerich or Byron Janis' version, is so magical, so unrestrained, so free... In the silent night, turn off the lights and listen to it, and it will drown you like the sea. ...
When you can fully master such a piano concerto, you truly become a completely free person-you can manipulate the most complex thoughts in the world, allowing yourself to fly freely in the sky of melody and spirit.
You are a child, but finally, you have grown up.
Note:
The film has won unanimous praise from the film critics. The leading actor Jeffrey Rush won the 69th Oscar Award for Best Actor in this film. Because he has played the piano, there is no substitute for the third-age performance scene of David starring him in the film. He was holding a cigarette butt in the bar, and his fingers played like an enclave of "Bumblebee Flying" for the audience.
