Nonstop youth

Youth is always good.
It should be said that this is an American film that I like more, and I can realize that the director really lived this period of time. Different from the decadent and rebellious films of "Trainspotting" and "A Clockwork Orange", the protagonist of "Road to Fame" is actually a kind of dumb and good boy. He is not good at drugs and sex, and he is not interested in it. He insists on his own. idea. At the same time, he is not a character in "Bad Boy's Sky", "Lily Zhou" or "Guling Street Teenage Murder", because he is still cheerful and optimistic. The positioning of the protagonist of the film also determines the rational and peaceful light comedy narrative style of the film. Of course, the film is about the story of rock music in the 1970s, so some radical thoughts at that time will inevitably be involved, but the director did it with a retrospective rational attitude when narrating, so throughout the whole film, you can always feel to the warm gaze of the narrator. It is this kind of unstable and neutral narrative that can often more deeply reflect the timelessness of youth and the faint sadness in retrospect. I also thought of another French film "Wild Reed", which also put the past of youth in a large era background. In the turbulence of the surface, we seek the calmness of the essence, and in the calm, people feel a kind of upward tension.
