flying red strawberry

New York in the 1960s. A love story in a turbulent time. The two foreign youths went through a tortuous mental journey, from acquaintance to misunderstanding, and finally reunited happily, with a standard Hollywood-style ending. Explore the winding depths of Xiao Ai. Or, full of curiosity and sensitivity to the exploration of the social and historical process, into this turbulent torrent full of freedom, fraternity and peaceful conflict. Even if 130 minutes can touch, it is only a fragmented fragment in the vastness.

Another time and space intersection between social order and human liberation. The war and the resulting death were the first to shock and pierce the sensitive and weak hearts of young people. The human nature in the political system is coldly packaged, and mass production is exported to another piece of soil that needs to be invaded urgently. Family, love, and friendship, after being plundered and torn by force, naturally gave birth to the will to resist. Therefore, the young people choose to scream with all their might, resisting all restraints on free will with the courage of words and deeds. Some of them took to the streets to denounce another, larger political power in the tone of a young politician. The other part puts the suppressed anger and dissatisfaction on all artistic carriers. So there are new music, new paintings; all the exiles related to the spiritual value orientation of behavior, madly breed. Under the strange costumes, colors, and actions, behind every purposeless journey, what cannot be concealed is the young sincere and sensitive heart, and the still reckless and reckless determination.

This can't help but remind me of another group of warriors in another land 20 years later. At that time, the young people in that place were no longer called hippies, but they had the same passion and blood. They are so similar. The so-called world harmony. Today, when we look back on these major historical events and social changes, there are many scene dialogues conveyed by various media forms in our minds, as well as in-depth analysis and interpretation of various scholars, and the conventions of various symbolic nouns and rituals even make these happen just now. The past is meticulously logical and measurable, so the original vividness and freshness are ignored. In fact, history exists in every living individual. The deepest source of human nature is the initial force that drives the evolution of the overall process of society. This made me even more convinced of the inevitability of history.

Let's talk about musicals again. For a long time, the analogy between musicals and dramas, and adding another form of interpretation to the film art dominated by plot stories, inevitably violates its purity. And the success of this musical has given me the opportunity to re-examine the unique virtuosity of such films. The key to a musical is to grasp the transition between song and dance. Whether the lyrics, mood, tune and atmosphere are appropriate to the situation, so as to avoid the suspicion of artificiality and exaggeration. This all requires the director to have a superb understanding of the connotation and trend of the story, and more importantly, to have a deep understanding of the true nature of music and dance. For actors, the smooth transition between dialogue scenes and singing and dancing performances is a higher-level consideration for their acting skills. The colors of costumes in musicals are often perverse and radical. For example, the episodes of blood red strawberries, circus performances and deep sea and blue sky in this film are unforgettable. The unbridled burst of imagination in musicals is a bountiful reward to the makers. The symbolic images of formalism often stimulate the viewer's senses while giving the film a more profound aftertaste.

    I'm relying on this rotten story, all rely on the Beatles! (And there are many details in tribute to the Beatles) The plot is abruptly cut and messy, only the music is left... There are occasional highlights, of course, at the level of effect production, pictures, and MV arrangement; Joe Anderson is handsome, a piece of Kurt face, but this guy is British, hey hey hey
