start again and again

I really like the attitude towards music conveyed in this movie, people have their own free will towards music. It is not controlled by music. Music is good, it is to actively recognize it, present it, and complete it. I can't help but think of some song talent shows on TV recently. Each contestant came on stage, first sloganed about their love for music, then presented a slightly sad or sweet story, and finally, inspirational self-encouragement. Compared to the slack and serious attitude of the musicians in the movie, our contestants seem a little too big and inappropriate.
To truly love something, to love someone, should be like loving breathing. It does not need to be reminded, it exists naturally and is indispensable.

James Corden's performance is natural, and Keira Knightley's laugh always feels uncomfortable. On the contrary, when she is not smiling, for example, she looks better when she is working hard in secret.

I like the conversation between the two of them sitting on the street late at night:
this is why I like music? Some of the most mundane images, which can often be filled with a lot of meaning, suddenly turn into beautiful, charismatic pearls, all derived from music.
I have to say, I'm getting older and these pearls are getting rarer.
You have to travel around the world and experience more of the mundane in exchange for dazzling pearls. This moment is like a pearl.

    It feels great to "explain" what is music production with video! Heartwarming movie. Was the last time KK was so likable ten years ago?

    I like the ending so much. This is how real life should be. Some people will meet, and some people will never see each other again.
