Taking Woodstock, a film about a legendary music festival doesn't even have a single scene of a rock performance, and even the music seems bland. No wonder Americans don't buy Ang Lee's account, even if you've won an Oscar. In fact, in the first two or three shots, Ang Lee explained that he was playing a graceful and graceful style: green grass, alfalfa flowers everywhere, and a small town without competition from the world, but this tranquility will soon be destroyed by hundreds of thousands of people. Young people disturb. The director devoted a lot of space to the relationship between the male pig’s feet and his parents, a Jewish mother from Minsk who escaped racial persecution, a dull and tough father, and a man who was eager to go out on his own. The son of the world. The relationship in this small world is rigid and tense, but with the advent of the music event, their small world is also buried by the human universe. Nervous Vietnam war veterans, hippies, transgenders, drug addicts, sexual liberators, it was an era when all kinds of thoughts were constantly emerging, and Ang Lee calmly presented them from the perspective of an outsider, although Objective, but inevitably mediocre.
Peace & love, this is everything about rock and roll, its origin, and its destination, and all kinds of knots in the film are finally resolved by love. Maybe it’s because of the Chinese people’s reserved characters. We are not used to foreigners’ mouths full of love and love. This may explain the lukewarmness of Chinese people towards rock and roll. Even young people and college students who should be the most vigorous are no longer choosing this kind of thing. musical form. The current university production line produces "mature adults", (Qin Gang commented on Gunhua's album "China Democracy": We all know that rock music is a very loud music, and no mature adults will like it.) Also I worry about many things before graduating, so I learned all kinds of methods, and I no longer care about politics, and freedom and democracy are even more unreal.
A few days ago, I saw a long article in 1510: "Wang Feng: A Cultural Specimen Running All the Way to the Embrace of Nationalism", you can guess one or two from the title: a middle-aged old music fan, finally let go of his heart The last bit of reluctance, like letting go of poetry, let go of the rock and roll that has been with him for many years. We also had such a restless era, although short but also gorgeous, people wiped away the dust in front of their eyes and saw a new world. Of course, I missed it. It ended early. But the few years of this bloom have produced some great fruit.
To a certain extent, I was lucky. When I was a child, I had a few tapes at home. The three heroes of magic rock and Tang Dynasty, these names that should be unfamiliar to people of my age have accompanied me for many years, even It can be said to be the inspiration of music. I was surprised to find that apart from the patriotic songs in school and the innocent ones, the lyrics can still be written like this, and the melody can be so strong. That's what the "Open Your Eyes and See the World" was about back then. The two albums of the Tang Dynasty proved their pinnacle status in the history of Chinese rock and roll, and the concert in Hung Hom can be said to be a review. After that, Zhang Chu and He Yong disappeared, and Dou Wei divorced and gradually faded out of the public eye. , until one day we learned that he burned his car - such an environment is not suitable for the growth of genius. For the rest of the day, Wang Feng was singing about the motherland, the Tang Dynasty had a dream of a romantic knight, and the rest went underground.
Forever young, the blossoming heart of rock and roll is forever young.
