For this film, Steel Man is a reason, White is a reason,'solo' is a reason, and the biggest reason is music. Yes, real music.

Over the years,'music' seems to have become an abused label. Idol singers say that they love music, and super girls say'my specialty is music'. These people, even the staff, can't fully understand it. I have to say something to everyone who dreams of this so-called "music", sorry, but I still insist on bluntly, you are just "singing", please do not abuse the word "music", even if it will hurt The'dream' in your heart.

It’s good if you can’t get used to traditional dogma, or you can make a name in apostasy, but music is an art no matter how you look at it, and art requires talent and accumulation. It’s not that orthodox music is called music, pop music is also called music. If you want, Yuan Weiren can also be called an artist, because in the past few years, they have already understood the music in their field and will be in the future. For them, even though music is about playing the piano and singing, it is not just as simple as playing the piano and singing. This is the most basic difference between singing and making music.

Jamie Fox in the movie is a genius, but we can see that the real genius does not neglect practice and accumulation. Every movie tells us what is good and what is evil. The principle of music, only real art movies can inspire people in need.

I think if you truly believe in your'music', if you find that you are not a super genius, then you should start with an understanding of the basics according to tradition. This is like Bruce Lee before he learns to squat the first step Being regarded by the master as a'fighting bastard', if you really love your music as you express, I believe you will automatically and spontaneously find a way to figure out what is a chord and what is a variation at a certain moment. , What is a major and what is a waltz. When you understand it in the boring process, if you can still maintain the original love, you will be more determined and proud to say that music is your ideal. At this time, you should be happy. Just like when we get to know our lover more and more in a trivial life, we still love him or even love him more than before, and experience the kind of proud and firm happiness. I’m sorry, I once lost my love for “singing” and “learning music” in the boring process. Now it is no longer my ideal. I am like a lover who has broken up with it, far away Place, paying attention to it silently, giving it the maintenance and appreciation I can give.

I have to admit that White’s work is indeed very loose and difficult to concentrate, but it is also such a work, like a broken glass ball, which can refract many rays of light from different directions. Where does your gaze collect? One point, what kind of feelings and even resonances are elicited is your own "acquisition", not what others tell you, and everyone respects. This can also be understood as a different kind of viewing experience. Some people say that such a movie is “boring”, why don’t you put down this sentence and leave in the middle of the movie. If you have to watch it, turn off the player and give three or two stars silently, because , IMHO, this will not reveal our ignorance.

Of course, for Nasni's cello that is'like a sausage', you don't know or don't want to know it at all, just as you will never realize how a tramp who picks up rubbish will perceive sausages. Since it is a different world, you can completely ignore it, but please don't blaspheme the beliefs and expressions of others. It is a viewpoint and perspective that you don't understand. You can evaluate it, but you are not qualified to judge.

Therefore, the advice given to those who choose the film is, if you are looking forward to finding a noble music atmosphere that satisfies your petty bourgeoisie feelings from the movie, if you think that every movie should have a natural ending, if you don’t accept other people’s worlds. It's very dirty and talkative. If you can't agree with "belief is only relative", then you'd better close this window and spend two hours to watch "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" again. Don't get me wrong, Transformers 2, Harry Potter 6 and the soloist, I gave the same four stars.

Here, I also take back the words that have previously evaluated'bad movies'. I feel that I am far from qualified to make such a comment. Three stars or five stars. The truth does not lie in whether the movie is'bad' or not. Was it triggered the resonance of "my world", or was it suitable for me to watch at the time, nothing more.
