As the lead singer of the band sang "You are trash!", the censors in the audience gasped, gritted their teeth in anger and had blue veins on their faces. The female fan wanted to shake her body and hold up the cheering card, but she was decisively stopped.
Leningrad in the early 1980s is even somewhat similar to what we have now.
Standing seats are not allowed at rock concerts, performances must be approved, lyrics must be reviewed, and the security guards will remind you to sit down several times.
Perhaps it is precisely because many similar things will always exist that each generation of rock and rock fans will always carry the labels of "rebel" and "pursuit of freedom".
Regarding the handling of this aspect, "Midsummer" uses the most dramatic way.
On the train, the "Patriots" shouted insults at the young man with long hair and guitar: "You scream like beasts, the Americans are our enemy, and you are singing the enemy's song!"
The young man responded with a song: Don't touch me, I am a living wire.
In the theater, electric guitars replaced acoustic guitars. The audience raised their hands and cheered and screamed in the arena. The judge was furious: "I'm going to lock you all up!".
But the mysterious character who started it all tells you: none of this happened.
Young people were arrested, and the audience still had to sit and listen to the song. It's just a few tens of crazy seconds, the black and white picture clearly turned into color.
In such a sultry summer, three young people have a story about rock, love, and friendship.
In addition to the insinuation of political factors, "Midsummer" is more like a youth love film. On the beach in summer, there is wine, music and watermelon, and a bonfire is lit at night to take off your clothes and run naked into the sea, and then meet interesting people. Basically completed the most perfect summer in my mind.
The ambiguity between Victor and Natasha is inevitable, but I didn't expect that in this love triangle, the three of them showed some kind of interesting purity.
Natasha and Mike said, I want to kiss Victor, Mike asked me how I can help you, bless you. Then, he took the initiative to ask Victor to accompany Natasha home.
Natasha and Victor kiss deeply, but it ends immediately. Natasha felt that the child was next to him, and he would see it.
It's not at all like the rocker's infinite open and don't care about anything as long as it's crazy.
Victor even has a pure romance. I met Natasha at the market, bought coffee in a porcelain cup from the old man, and took the bus with her to find Mike (this part is really romantic). He also made a foot ashtray out of wood carvings as a gift. Willing to give attention and fun, how attractive to girls, not to mention talented.
I believe this comes purely from the music. Just like Victor doesn't want to change his style at will and contradict the censors in public, Mike won't give up making an album because he's an amateur in the studio.
"It's pathetic for music, if it only stays in your head." Express, express is the greatest value.
It's just that such a youth film, with the aura of Victor Cui, makes it less likely to become an explosive classic.
Everyone expects to see legends, struggles, and victories. (Feeling that "Bohemian Rhapsody" might be the way to go)
This revolution did not show the madness of the masses. In Victor's singing, the subtitles ended everything with "1962-1990". So the rest was done by his own comments on Wikipedia and NetEase Cloud.
So when trying to put aside the biographical factor, this summer of fighting for dreams is also colorful.
When I looked back from the perspective of God, I found an interesting point. Someone asked Victor and Mike what the dream concert was like.
Mike said that in the gym, there should be sound, lights, smoke, and elephants. "I can't see the joy of a stadium concert," Victor said. "It's my dream to sing in a bar."
In the midsummer of 1990, Victor Choi boarded the Moscow Olympic Stadium. Also in this midsummer, he came to the end of his life.
The summer that changed Victor, also quietly changed countless young people.
