The nine movements that cannot be stopped, whether to stop or endure their respective out-of-tune and finish the movement. The nine movements are like life that cannot be stopped, and a quartet is required to find the soul of the work, so the four people are entangled with each other and out of tune in the non-stop movement.
The Fugue Orchestra was originally a balanced whole. The four members had an intimate and intertwined relationship, and each had its own musical performance, which made the orchestra sublime. Alex's words clearly showed its characteristics. The balance is upset when cellist Peter suffers from Parkinson's disease in his old age, and the orchestra faces a restructuring. Philip wants to be the chief, but also doubts his wife's love for him. Daniel pursues perfection and the soul of the music. He is focused on music and restrained in emotion, so he even appears ruthless in reorganizing the band. When Philip thinks he is rigid and has no passion, he indulges his feelings for Alex, and this relationship is completely destroyed. the balance of the fugue. Jules is emotional and sad. After her husband cheated and did not cooperate, her daughter fell in love with her former lover, and Peter gradually didn't know how to feel when he retired due to illness. They were completely out of tune.
How can I complete this movement and feel the soul that Beethoven infused in Opus 131? Alex understands the meaning from Fugue's documentary: three generations of quartets, which will take over like wheels, never stopping to complete the movement, over and over, over and over. So Alex can no longer be with Daniel after understanding the quartet. Halfway through the concert, Peter had Nina in his place, the quartet was rebalanced and sublimated, and the trio left the score to play freely, as they had experienced the depth and soul of 131.
The film uses interludes, beginning and ending with a concert, similar to Tarantino's youth, reflecting the meaning of 131 and the silent surprise it brings. The cast is strong, the performances are ingenious and in place, and the music is applied appropriately to match the development of characters and stories. The meaning of 131 is pointed out at the beginning, and the end successfully returns to 131, but the meaning of 131 is not filled slowly, because the music is abstract, and it will be cut if it is too obvious.
