The plot of the whole film is calm and even a little dull. The love between the apprentice and the teacher's daughter is too numerous to enumerate in art history, and the tragic ending is also expected. However, this film has a strong and unique literary atmosphere through oil painting-like images (especially indoor scenes imitating still life paintings) and the simple and elegant Violet soundtrack (Master Savall's performance is indispensable); concise dialogues and large narrations The narrative features are also typical of French New Wave cinema. Several classic scenes in the film are intriguing. The old apprentice condemned and recalled himself when he instructed the musician, and finally saw the master again in the air. Even though he was wearing a Chinese robe, he treated music like a monk in his heart; , the figure of the deceased wife emerges, the trinity, not only the superposition of artistic beauty, but also echoes the artistic conception of the old master. Of course, the most intriguing is the reunion of teachers and students in the middle of the night, two sad voices under the candlelight, discussing the meaning of music together and interpreting the scene of the ditty in their hearts. Reveal the core theme of the film: the existence of music, the things it expresses in different languages, do not belong entirely to human beings, not for secular money and fame, not for imperial power and religion, not for entertainment and sweetness, not for silence, not for Athletics are the thoughts of the deceased and the whispered comfort to those who cannot speak.
This film also has its shortcomings. I personally think that its plot development is a bit abrupt, and the handling of character relationships is ill-considered. The plot is moving too fast! How can I continue to learn the piano with my daughter since I turned my face and got kicked out? Secondly, the unreasonable plot arrangement: a 17th-century musician actually lived in such a large manor, which obviously did not meet his income level (the broken windows on the second floor and the weed-covered filming site had been abandoned for a long time); he communicated with the upper-class nobles through concerts? In fact, it was just the opposite at that time. The musicians were attached to various nobles or churches. It should have been the musicians who worked hard to perform in noble houses to seek rewards. And with the old master's stubborn temper, rejecting one and hating the other, and neither performing nor publishing music, how can he support a family for so many years? The obvious departure from the background of the times places the artist in a noble and invincible position. Of course, for its core theme, this treatment is also in line with its metaphysical point of view.
