The handsome Harry of the band asked the pretty conductor opposite the pretty conductor in jerky English, and then began to sing affectionately at the girl: "My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine, you make me smile with my heart..."
Haruki Murakami said: "There is an air of unequivocal youth in Chet Baker's music." The charm of this heartbroken romantic is that he uses his sighing singing and his coolness The trumpet conveys a low-key and distant love. I've come to love the movie when the band's trumpeter Harid sings "My funny valentine," which has been covered countless times. I love Sensual Love House and Ugly as much as I would love "Ripley the Genius" because of this song, because Matt Damon did it successfully in that movie too.
The wonderful connection between fetishes always leads to more good feelings. Of course, as you may have guessed, what I know about Chet Baker is Haruki Murakami. Murakami, who loves him, also said: "Chat Baker's performance has a kind of chest tremor." The Israeli film "The Band Visits" is full of loneliness like Chat Baker's Cool Jazz, which is a kind of Unspeakable loneliness, indescribable but familiar loneliness.
When Khalid sang "My funny valentine" again, he was sitting in a cold room with Tajiv and Gina (pictured below). It's still the same sentence, "Do you like Chat Baker?", and then picked up the trumpet and played a short section, but what we saw in the music was Gina's vicissitudes of life. Tajiv, the old head of the group, responded: "I like Chat Baker, I have all his albums." Compared with the previous Tajiv's severe reprimand to Khalid, this time Tajiv seemed a lot more cordial. Such passages abound in the film. The characters speak of loneliness in a unique way, and they confront loneliness together.
I like "The Band Visit" because, as an Israeli film, it does not deliberately reflect the long-term and deep conflict between Israel and the pan-Arab world. It describes the subtle emotions of human beings, and is a sketch with a little sadness and melancholy. Just like the town named Bed Haq where the Alexandria Police Orchestra strayed into, there is no Arab culture, no Israeli culture, only isolation and loneliness.
