After watching the biographical drama Rocketman (2019), the rock star Elton John (1947- ), I knew he was a rare talent.
He wrote and sang Can You Feel The Love Tonight , the theme song for Disney's "The Lion King" (1994) , which was a household name at the time, but I wasn't attracted to his songs, which I remember as such. two.
This film makes it clear to this self-taught genius through just a few scenes. For example, when Elton John wrote the music, it must have been the soundtrack of the movie, and then Elton John's fingers touched the keyboard.
When Elton John was very young, he once heard music playing on the radio, and immediately tapped the melody with one finger on his dad's broken piano.
The movie spends a lot of time describing how little Elton John was hated by his parents. Lack of love, he can only play a fun he accidentally discovered in his spiritual world - music.
Her grandmother loved this little grandson and found that he had this talent, so she sent him to the conservatory to "train" him.
On the day of the interview, the presence of Elton John interrupted the examiner's piano practice. Then the examiner asked him what song did he prepare for the test?
Elton John said he didn't know it was "preparation", so he "photocopied" the sound he heard when he entered the door and gave it to the examiner on the piano. The examiner asked him why he suddenly stopped playing? Elton John said he had just heard the sound is like that.
Although the examiner didn't know what was going on, the sound of Elton John's piano made her feel that she was a talented person.
The piano teacher was very serious about teaching Elton John how to sit and fingering. This reminds me of the piano geek Glenn Gould (1932-1982), whether he is performing live or recording in the studio, he is always sitting on a small bench with his own sawn-off legs. , the cat plays the piano with his waist down. Could it be that Gould used such a performance art to laugh at the dogmatism of the world and their incomprehension of genius?
I think the most amazing scene in this movie is that Elton John's "magic power" that can "download Tianle" like Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756-1791) is also contagious. Accidentally, he infected Bernie Taupin (Bernie Taupin, 1950- ) who later became his golden partner and wrote lyrics. Judging from the scene where the two sparked in the restaurant, Elton John didn't seem to know that there was such a "genius contagion" in the world, but I think Bernie did. I think that's why Bernie has been helping Elton John all his life, no matter how Elton John misunderstood him.
If it hadn't been for a serious lack of love since childhood, Elton John might have been an unknown Reginald Kenneth Dwight all his life, rather than a rock star who once accounted for one-twentieth of the world's record sales. In this regard, I believe that my Patriarch Bodhi will be deeply touched.
Bodhisattva is an accomplished scientist (see: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Fu5MaWZDgurLCQ8zLy4ZFg ). One night in early 2006, he told us this:
Why do people fail? He didn't find anyone who loved him, and he always suspected that others would harm him, and he was very suspicious.
If you do not find love , there is no love.
So, as a scientist, the first thing you need to do is to find out that someone loves you, which is very important. [I think, this is also the reason why Elton John sings Can You Feel The Love Tonight all over the world. 】
I grew up without a mother.
I think a child without a mother is good or bad, but overall it's fine.
A child without a mother would love to have a mother. Seeing someone else have a mother, he would love to have one.
When he went to someone else's house and saw that they had a mother, he was very envious. When they see their mothers caring for their children, they are envious next to them - that kind of impulse. I find that kids with moms are not impulsive, he says moms are commonplace. Because being with you every day makes you feel unimportant.
I see that all children with mothers are happy. However, children who have mothers often do not know that they are happy.
I dream of having a mother.
But on the other hand, where is the happiness of a child without a mother?
Because mom is not around, mom won't teach you what that word means, you can figure it out yourself. I have done a lot of experiments, and they all talk about the word "Taiwan". For many people, it was because his mother told him that it was "Taiwan", the word "Taiwan" in Taiwan, so he wrote it, and he wrote it anyway. I never knew what that word meant.
(Master Bo drew a human face.) Since he is a child without a mother, he looks at this character. The more he looks at it (“厶”), the more it looks like a nostril, and the more he looks at it (“mouth”), the more it looks like a mouth, so he is wiser.
I didn't go to school at that time, so I just looked at it at home, I could see the words, and I was enlightened .
Children with mothers cannot understand God. Everything has been taught to you, and you are so used to it that you don't feel it. If you teach directly, it is equal to harming children. to enlighten him.
"If you can find out that others love you, you will be successful." If Bodhisattva's statement is true, then why does Bodhisattva have the protection of nobles in his life? Why is Elton John's life full of ups and downs? Why did he reinvent himself after dealing with interpersonal relationships? These all seem to be in order.
