Maybe people always have to wander between reality and dreams, swaying, until a certain opportunity arises. Thomas Searle, his mother was a pianist, and his father was a man who lived a luxurious life by collecting rent. After the death of his mother, Thomas, who once loved music and was considered to have a talent for the piano, became a debt collector for a living. His occupation was to disturb other people's lives, let snakes, disturb people's dreams, and destroy living facilities to force people to submit. . He also seems to be enjoying a life full of excitement and violence.
But those rhythms that have been forgotten by our hearts are actually only deposited in a certain corner of the heart over time, like seeds deeply buried in the soil, as long as they meet the right temperature and moisture, they will germinate one day.
By chance, Thomas met his mother's agent, and he promised to give Thomas a chance to watch. Thomas's inner rhythm was touched by this sudden opportunity. From then on, everything in reality became illusory to him. In the Mercedes-Benz car, in the noisy bar, at every moment, the once forgotten rhythm was like the flood of the Yellow River. Packing up, let his life regain meaning.
But the death of his father brought him back to reality from the world of music. Later, before his girlfriend's piano concert, he discovered the murderer of his father. He fought with him to the death, but gave up killing him at the last moment and returned to the performance hall. The rhythm of the music slowly calmed him down.
When we are polished by reality closer and closer to the "father" who symbolizes reality and away from the "mother" who symbolizes dreams, those inner rhythms can free us from trivial or even boring reality and find a new back to self.
It has been said that we and our dreams are like a tree and its reflection in the water, and what makes us miserable is that we fall in love with the reflection. Maybe people always have to hesitate between reality and dreams, swaying left and right, just like we always have a difficult choice between father and mother.
In the shadow of reality, probably only by virtue of those rhythms that have been forgotten by us from the heart, can we find the light of life in the dark.
