I haven't watched this movie for a while, because I like the song shallow so much, it fits my feelings all along, I'm afraid the movie will ruin my feelings about the song. But I'm also curious as to what kind of movie could bring out such a song.
Although the heroine was born and became a star, more shots were given to the hero Jack. But Jack I think the character is more relatable.
Jack has always given people a greasy and decadent feeling. From the beginning to the end, the only time when he is a little bit more energetic is when he is on tour with the heroine. What was he doing before the heroine came?
Drink, give a concert, drink, give a concert, drink, drink, drink.
Why is this happening? I think it has something to do with his tragic upbringing, which has caused permanent psychological damage. After he has gained fame and wealth, it will only become more empty, and his inner pain and struggle will increase. day. It is also possible that in this era, folk and rock have been greatly impacted by popular music, which led to Jack's frustration. But I prefer the former, because when Jack talks about his happiness with others, he is always talking about the old things from the past, and I feel that he has also largely lost his love for music and his upward mobility. He never worries about himself. His career and even his ears are going to be broken, and even in the end, there is only guilt for the heroine, no regrets for himself.
However, the appearance of the heroine changed him. I believe that Jack has also been waiting for her to appear, a chance encounter, a good night, and the most important thing is the heroine's character - simplicity.
Why do you say that the heroine is simple? Because from the beginning to the end, we can find that the heroine has some opinions, but lacks real thinking.
Jack is a very smart person. It can be seen from the part where he flirted with the heroine. He is very clear about everything from beginning to end. Emotions, unable to control their alcohol addiction.
The first half is indeed as beautiful as a fairy tale. Jack also found his passion during this period, and after establishing a relationship, he stopped drinking too much. However, when an agent finds the heroine, it is the flashpoint of the conflict. At this time, Jack already knew what was going to happen, and it was also the beginning of his drinking again.
The packaging of a new star by modern pop music has changed the heroine. The heroine also said that I don't like this, but I can only obey the manager. She wants to develop herself quickly on the road of music. In today's era , and can only take the popular road. She couldn't give up in order to truly be herself. She didn't have a firm stand, so she could only choose a shortcut and listen to the agent's words.
Jack saw it in his eyes, and felt unhappy in his heart. She was not the girl he liked who danced hot, but he probably knew that the heroine's character also determined her to be like this. He liked her simple and gentle character. He can't destroy the heroine's career. He may still feel a little guilty. He made the heroine become like this. So he brought the guitar ring to her. However, in one detail, he didn't get down on one knee when proposing marriage. I believe he was still hesitant in his heart.
So this still can't change his inner struggle and pain, and the only thing that makes him happy is gone.
The replacement of his lead singer at the Grammys was even more of a fuse. He picked up the glass again, ruined him, and almost ruined the heroine.
However, the heroine, who loves him from beginning to end, no matter how decadent he is, shouts "this is my job" when the hero is drunk and wants to shower, and runs to him like a child when she sees the hero. He never told him the harm the male protagonist gave him, and he did not hesitate to give up the tour in order to get the male protagonist's life on the right track.
Her attitude towards love is still as simple and gentle, just like when Jack first met her, she has always been the girl he loved deeply and has never changed, which is why Jack always loves her and supports her.
In the end, Jack, like all alcoholics, wanted to rehabilitate and quit drinking for a while. But the agent's words woke him up. He didn't want to hurt anyone again, and ended his life with guilt for the heroine.
The heroine must not forget that on that ordinary night, a drunk but very gentleman singer took her through the happiest time of her life.
