Wish to be treated kindly by the world

Schumann's tunes hide sadness, even if it is exposed, there will be a kind of shame and anger that is peeped at. Just like Mrs. Kruger, who was sitting in front of the piano in the basketball hall and crying alone, when she was discovered by the prison guards. Black music is exposed, and I want to declare all my dissatisfaction and anger to the world. Why hide it? I am so in pain. When a person is deprived of everything and the only thing left is emotion, I can only choose the most direct expression. Like Jenny playing black music in the library, in the basketball hall, upstairs in the church.
We are all people who have been hurt by the world, but we all behave differently.
I can't stand black music, just because I'm afraid I'll shake my head and realize that what I've endured for 60 years is meaningless. So, how will I survive then? People, always give yourself a hope.
Why endure? I have been hurt so much by this world that I can't even protect my own flesh and blood, and even the person who was supposed to bless me has become my nightmare. So, what else do I need to endure? What else should I be afraid of?
Yes, I still have the piano, I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to find the person I want to protect, so that the sound of the piano can continue forever.
Yes, I still have pianos, pianos that have given me fond memories, pianos that let me know, at least some of the time, that I am alive.
So we met, I found you, and you fell in love with me. This is just a fulfillment, both to fulfill you and to fulfill myself.
When Jenny conquered the audience with a piece of "Four Minutes" that combined black music and Schumann, when she made a deep curtsy to Mrs. Kruger in the stands, her raised face With a happy smile; when Mrs. Kruger stood on the stand with a glass of wine, looking at Jenny who was swaying freely on the stage, with a hint of relief on the corner of her mouth, I knew that they all started from the piano. The world has been redeemed.
The film has been interspersed with Schumann and black music as the background, taking the piano-talented murderer Jennie as the main line, and portraying more than just Mrs. Kruger's role. A father who redeems sins, a prison guard who wants to be a good person, a warden who wants to stand out, a female prisoner who wants to avenge his fellow inmates, and a prison guard daughter who never learns to curtsy.
From the very beginning of our lives, we were destined to suffer in this life. In the struggle, we gradually found a way of life that made us feel more comfortable, so we kept convincing ourselves that we were right, chasing the direction we identified, and there was an inextinguishable hope in our hearts, that is, being The world is kind.
No matter how fierce the struggle is, it will be neutralized by the flowing waters of the world, and no matter how sharp the rock is, it will be smoothed by the wind, and in a way that at least you think is harmonious, "perfectly" combined, painted on with a curtsy. Full stop, but when you ask to salute, you and I can raise our faces and smile.
