Nasani is an overdue musical genius. The encounter between him and reporter Lopez was not so good. In fact, they just got what they needed. Because Nasani was once a top student in a music school, and because Nasani was reduced to a homeless man, this attracted Lopez's attention. Imagine a sloppy homeless man standing in a square and playing a violin, of course, attracts attention. Not to mention the reporter Lopez, who is very keen to capture everything. The sense of justice at this time made him believe that Nasani needs to be rescued and a better environment is needed. Of course, his original intention from beginning to end is very clear, that is, Nasani is an important resource for his column.
Then everything develops as normal. Nasani was accepted by more citizens, heartbroken for him, and even gave him a lot of cello for free. He has a house, a key, and more importantly, an audience. And Nasani also brought glory to Lopez, was received by the mayor and personally presented a brilliant trophy.
However, who is the savior of whom? Who is whose God? At the end of the film, Nasani held a small concert. The concert failed. When he was about to become the protagonist, he fled under the expectation of all the audience who came here. Just like when I was young.
Think about it, on the street outside LAMP, there are still countless beggars, drug dealers, and problematic youths. The bloodshed and beatings are still happening every day. How many people need to be helped on this street? It's a pity that they are not Nathanis, they don't know how to play the cello, they are not former geniuses, they are just ordinary people.
Finally, Nasani's sister came to take him home. What will be the result? What is certain is that the genius of the year will never come back. Did sending him back really help him? I'm afraid this is unknown. Who can be sure that Nasani will be happier than the homeless people when he leads a normal life?
