Sound Dream

1. About a year ago, I began to instinctively dislike "August Rush" because at the Oscars awards ceremony, they performed a movie episode that arranged a church on the stage to sing carols. I thought it was an offense to an atheist like me. For example, although I dislike Christianity, I will not publicly preach how hypocritical their doctrine is, because I do not intend to offend believers who are emotionally dependent on religion. Someone recently said on the Internet that "Sound Dreaming Romance" is great. I didn't realize that it was "August Rush", so I went to watch it, and after watching it, I still didn't like it.

2. In fact, "August Rush" does not explicitly praise God, but its religious significance is very strong. Not only are there musical prodigies playing in the church, there are glorious shots from the top of the church, and there are many scenes like this: someone said where his music came from, and then his eyes moved upwards, and the lens angle of view also tilted upwards. .

3. Since the prodigy’s music comes from God, of course, it’s not too much to brag about. So the child prodigy can play the superb piano skills when he touches the guitar for the first time. However, I know that the hands stroking the strings in the movie must be substitute hands. I know that the owner of those hands must have spent countless hours on practicing the piano. So this movie attributed this skill to a child prodigy gifted by God, isn't it an insult to the real piano master?

4. I think the biggest problem with this movie is that its producers believe that by stacking some beautiful things, such as love, music, acquaintance, friendship, etc., it can be touching and tearing. See how the prodigy's parents met? The two of them were bored at night, left the party, met on the rooftop, and when they met, they felt that each other was their significant other. After spending a night on the rooftop, I won't see you again the next day. Eleven years later, I was still reading each other. Isn't this shit compared to what Aunt Qiong Yao wrote? The producer shows such things to others and expects the audience to be moved by things that are obviously lies. In fact, it is very insincere and very speculative. If I am moved by this kind of thing, I will not forgive myself.

5. The music of the movie is really good and very nice, for a layman like me.

    Musical drama, looking for a violinist for the next generation to find a wife, street performance to symphony orchestra is too fake

    The boy's aura is astonishing, and the music is captivating. Still, the film was overrated.
