Romantic and retro, in the 60s, evoked by brilliant colors. Some people rush towards dreams, some people choose the battlefield, some people choose to fight with anger, and some people sing freely. There is no future, only a touch of sadness and the direction of finding happiness.
I haven't been touched by music for a long time. What's more, the classic melody that has been written countless times has awakened my ignorant youth. The lyrics of the Beatles remain the same, and they write the years. In exchange for some young lives, continuation of the pulsating soul. This is more like a tribute to the Beatles. The popular song tells about love, youth, dreams, confusion, and loss. The music is soothing and mixed with looming emotions, and the beating drums are not rigid. , Interspersed in all the unexpected details.
In terms of personal preference, this colorful and retro song and dance film makes me happy. Music is the main thread throughout. The life of the three characters and the recurrence of love situations are all the stories laid out. I don’t want to go into the details. Describe the feelings of each character. In my opinion, these lively lives write all the goodness, enthusiasm and loss encountered in that era of dissociation. The surprise is not only the music, but the perfect interpretation and bold role-playing of U2 lead singer Bono and the originator of the British blues Joe Cooker are unforgettable.
In addition, the language of the film can be said to be bold and out of place, with the change of the song, and gradually change layer by layer, from the poetic emptiness, to the colorful colors under the confusion, to the absurdity in the imagery world in the pursuit of free dreams. . Of course, there is no lack of detailed descriptions in the film, from Pop to Expressionism, the spread of postmodernism, and the intermingling of installation and performance art, which strongly demonstrate the influence of the evolution of artistic thoughts in that era on individual youths.
For the entire Western world in the 1960s, wars and democratic movements accounted for the vast majority of life. The outbreak of ethnic conflicts, the wave of hippies, and the liberation movements for sex or war all pushed young individuals to the forefront of the times. However, this kind of film is not tacky and straightforward to narrate these histories, but integrates it into all aspects of art, collage-style editing, and transitions these contents into the characters in the film, and restores the history. For those individuals, because the individual exists in the trend of history, let us feel in the individual, everything that history brings, and never restore the individual with history.
If we say that this 2-hour song and dance film allows us to enjoy a delicious visual feast, it would be better to say that we spent two hours immersed in a mtv story about beautiful youth. This is the case, this It's a movie, and it's also an mtv that I will never forget.
