The most conventional is the most beautiful

Times have changed.
Eleven years ago, a one-dollar ice pop could be the best sweet memory of the entire summer night.
Eleven years later, couples in the cold war in Haagen Dazs can use expensive ice cream as chewing wax.
How can you ask everyone to express the same sigh for a movie in this world?
Unless the end of the world comes, it will not happen again.
"A young man with unique musical talent", "Eleven years looking for a father and a mother", "The encounter between a classical cello girl and a band lead singer at the Arc de Triomphe in New York", if you enter these tags into the google box, I don't know how many similar ones can be found movie.
What makes many people feel irritated is that it's a big hit, and the plot is so ridiculous. You see, kids who have never been in formal education can learn and compose guitar, piano and stave in one day (for me it is still tadpole writing). Then, in an incredible short period of time, as a social wanderer without identification, he was arranged to enter the Juilliard School of Music and participate in the New York Philharmonic Symphony concert as the finale. What is even more irritating is that he is unreasonable. The mother, who has not seen each other in eleven years, is actually the second in command of this concert.
Those young people who clamor and slander the film will see this, and they will squeeze their fists impassionedly and shout: "Yes! Such a bad plot, I dream of better than it!"
Slow, but I can't wait To show your identity. After all those lousy bullshit, I really love this film, it can even be called the most comfortable experience of watching a movie in a few months.
What the movie brings is only a purely personal impression. The reasons why I like such a movie are just like Lixiang love Wanzhi, Jack love Rose, and why the mouse loves rice become popular. It is unreasonable.
Music is the best emotional agent in the world. With music, the romance of encounters can easily become heart-warming, and the interludes after eleven years make people feel emotional. Music can make artificial coincidences invisible, and music replicates the collisions between people.

Just now it was a simple and false script, and it entered your heart in an instant before you could react. Just like magic, superficiality and nonsense disappeared within 1/25 second. You saw yourself in the wandering of Jonathan Les Miles. You don’t want to face the unchangeable past, you Follow him to find the past, connect with the past, make up for the past, and realize the past.
Even Robin Williams, who is unconventional but deprived of his soul by music, once again blooms, watching him counting money, it is really hateful and distressed. Like our reality, the biggest enemy is money except money.
Life is not a movie. Even if life is more exciting than a movie, it is bigger, more complicated, and more boundless. With a difference of one second, your chance encounter with him becomes nonsense, and in front of a boring life, even if it is a cliché, it has become an extravagant hope. And this movie turns clichés into good wishes, and enhances your sustenance in the movie.
There are many reasons to hate something; and to fall in love with it, you only need to be clichéd once.
As we all know in our hearts, the harmonica man who helped them meet under the Arc de Triomphe and opened the life of a child prodigy must be Robin Williams.

  • Richard Jeffries: You know, a lot of kids don't want to leave their first home, because they're afraid that if they do, their parents won't be able to find them. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen to you.
