The protagonist of the film is a very cute and honest little boy, William, who has received a strict and rigid education from a single mother full of traditional ideas since he was a child. Fortunately, he also has a rebellious, rock-loving sister (in fact, I think his sister is also very cute), I like the part where his sister recommends a rock record to his brother William: with Simon & Gunfkel's "America", His sister had left the home that was under the control of his mother. Greeting the classic rock records of the 1970s, accompanied by the strong rhythm and dynamic melody of "Sparks" music, William found the key to liberate his youth from under the bed: rock music. That's the opening part of the film, my favorite part, it's lighthearted and humorous. Seeing those classic vinyl records, I really want to be in this film and go back to that passionate rock and roll era.
The whole film revolves around the rock and roll dream. The band dreams of rock and roll to bring them fame and fortune; Flesh and Skin Penny dreams of a wonderful life with the band; William should dream of completing a job related to rock music and realizing his passion for rock and roll.
Although the band almost disbanded and fell apart in the end; Penny no longer pursued excitement, but only wanted to return to an ordinary and simple life; William was also misunderstood by "Rolling Stone" because of the band's betrayal of him. However, in the end, everyone returned to their normal life and returned to their proper life trajectory.
The purpose of the film is not a wonderful philosophy of life, how to view the ups and downs of life, and use rock music to interpret it just right.
