"Alright, we won't change"

Whoever said this is a comedy, it shows all my desperation. When Frank heard that more than 20,000 hits were nothing, he hid under the dining table sadly, when he danced and played the "most acceptable and favorite" tune for everyone, when he stumbled down the street thinking Different from the intoxication of the world, when everyone has left, he wears a hood with funny and exaggerated makeup on the stage and sings a song that does not belong to him... What is his expression under the hood? I remember him enthusiastically saying to Jon, "Now it's a welcome smile" "now it's a shy smile" What a free soul he was back then, everyone wanted to be a Frank and everyone couldn't be a Frank, an independent soul can only now Is it called neurotic? The male protagonist has been trying to change the band with his universal values. He posted You to be and Twitter to let the outside world know about this neurotic underground band. In my eyes, he is the "mass" of contemporary society. "One, the people I hate, and myself. I hate that I also like the convenience of social software and I can't help myself. I try to use this public platform to prove myself. At a young age of 20, who doesn't want to let the whole world praise him vigorously. From the beginning of the film, Jon has He showed us his star dream to the extreme. When he meets a keyboard player who is trying to run into the sea and drown himself, he seizes his chance when he meets a band member, and Frank invites him to join the band. In Jon's mind, the members of this band are all people with neurological problems, like Clara who is always cold and prickly to him, Frank who always wears a hood, Don who mates with a puppet... I love Clara She was very impressed. After she had sex with Jon in the bath, she said to him, "If I fail, I will stab you to death." Chekov has a satirical novel called "The Man in a Sleeve". He wrapped himself in a coat and overshoes to resist the world and satirize those timid and withdrawn people who are unwilling to change. Now it seems that he has nothing wrong with him. Why is the way of life being pointed at by others, this is what I thought when I was studying this text. Of course, the irony might be with the heart he wants to assimilate with those around him. The same, and I don't know where, the sense of purpose in the film made Jon want to change them, and he ended up killing Frank. The moment the hood was smashed by the car, there was no Frank in the world anymore. Thankfully, he came back and sang "I love you all".

"The world kisses me with pain, but I return it with a song." He still chose to join the band without a mask, and his pure life has not changed.

"Pain can't bring music, music is everywhere, and if you have to say, mental illness is just holding him back."


That's the gist of this movie.


Those who are regarded as mentally ill, just live with their own thoughts and their own way. Is the outside world important? Are outsiders important? When Facebook, Twitter, Weibo platforms make us seem to be connected to the world and follow the so-called mainstream, the power of independent personality is weakened. Those who stick to their natural nature can only be called - "mentally ill"? I admit it's an absurd world because we have the world and lose the ability to think for ourselves, the world works according to a pattern. I constantly feel Frank's innocence and kindness. He treats the world clumsily but tries hard to learn to get along with the world. He has never complained. Incidents like being unplugged when he is on the stage should be a frequent occurrence in his life. , and he said, "My face is smiling." Seeing that Jon kept saying F**k because F spilled the food on him, F hurriedly helped him take the food down, and Jon aggressively asked him to put the headgear off. Go down, he rushed out like crazy. How much I hated Jon at that time, why would you do such a cruel thing to a broken soul, not everyone has to act according to the rules of your world, he is just wanton expression, doing casual and extreme Music, why did you step in and stir up the water. Not that frank is a genius or a geek, he doesn't need that title. Shouldn't the world need people who live with their hearts like this?


Don't change your nature because of the development and changes of the times. People are beautiful because of their differences, not their commonalities.


Don't be the shadow that doesn't need to bear others' share, our soul is light and shouldn't be heavy because of it, just be yourself.





"The balance of terror in this world/We chose the hard one/Don't lose yourself/Don't lose yourself/Won't surrender/We won't change if we promise"
