Dan and Gretta, two frustrated people who met through talent and minor collisions, go through hardships and get life back on track. "begin again", the old-fashioned plot can still bring me pure joy. It can be seen that although human beings cannot escape the trap of history and keep repeating themselves, the sincerity of the feelings can still bring forth the new.
The movie cuts from a song, with a light tone, dedicated to those who were once lonely in the city, and it makes people happy to put a question mark in their hearts at the beginning. Through reasonable flashbacks and interludes, the theme is introduced step by step. It seems that every excellent movie must have a serious and excellent director and screenwriter behind it. The cuts of the shots and the rearrangement of time make people feel subtle and inexplicable.
—————————————————Spoiler dividing line—————————————————
It is not difficult to imagine when two people with the same dream meet What happens, a movie, when the plot and the results are not enough to move the heart, the pure narrative is easy to make people uninteresting, the details become the magic weapon, it leads us to be the people in the film, to feel them, to understand them.
When Dan first appears in the film, he wakes up in a single room, sleepy, confused, lying on the bed with black soles. This is the daily life of an artist (of course, only a part of the artist), such that he exists in the pursuit of art and the thirst for talents every day, which is admired but like a life of rape. He has a daughter who has just entered adolescence, and her clothes are scantily clad and thoughtless, although this movie is obviously not enough for this little girl.
When he takes his daughter to his company, he flaunts their achievements over the years, the pride of a achiever in every expression. However, everything did not go well. The so-called trend and orthodoxy challenged him, and this unwilling man was finally expelled. It should be so.
He said:
"I'm taking my client list. I'm out of here, man."
"I'm taking my art. That's it. I'm taking the art."
"it's my art. I paid for it." Just
like a teenager, when he is in a weak position, he tries his best to show his strength and wants to threaten the opponent, but he can't scare anyone. The actor's acting skills are absolutely displayed here, quite in place. At this time, the alarm equipment sounded, which was wonderful. With the sound of the alarm, his love career fell in all directions. In the face of such chaos, he is helpless, it seems that the distribution of talents is too concentrated, causing him to be completely incapable in life.

That night, when he met Gretta in the bar, G slapped Dan's conceit in his own way, and Dan, who was already frustrated, was like a ditch and could no longer turn around gracefully. Finally, outside the bar, two people with bleeding hearts face each other with their true colors.
This creative girl said that the song she composed was done by her boyfriend Dave in front of everyone, and really did the most considerate a woman can do. Of course she also has the insight of a mind reader, which unfortunately comes in handy. A woman's intuition is always hopelessly accurate. After G was disappointed, the camera switched to the scene of the day when Dave came back from LA. It was smooth, but with the change of clothes, there was a certain degree of distinction.
After the quarrel, she left the apartment alone. The only thing left in the camera was the bicycle and luggage. She was wrapped in loneliness and moved slowly. But not so, when steve saw her, a warm hug, we knew that a very important thing she had not lost. She also has a friendship that supports her at all times. It's not that bad yet. The old friends gathered together, nested in the crowded and messy small house, complained about the past, joked, and got drunk, as if nothing had happened.
She wrote a song to Dave saying "and you have broken every single fucking rule." This is a British woman's publicity and self-control, her heart is bleeding, but her eyes can't contain the unbearableness of this person.
Dan's first referral to Gretta was unsuccessful. They were sitting outside an open-air coffee shop, talking about doing an open-air recording, and they were arrogant, whimsical, cool!
"will you produce it?" "cuz i want you produce it"
she smiled, her eyes glowing. A woman becomes beautiful when she intends to be with the things she likes and the people she understands.
There is also a moment in the movie that makes people cry, and that is when the pianist leaves the ballet class to work in the band. The resignation was clean and tidy. At first glance, it is exaggerated, but it is true that not everyone has that kind of courage. But again, what I see is an artist who has nowhere to show his talents. He supports himself by accompaniment to the dance class every day. His actions are not artificial, but an explanation of his own dreams. pursuit of self-worth. We all know that when all problems in reality involve art, it is no longer as simple as common sense. For this reason, millions of people can avoid disadvantages and avoid advantages.
This frustrated and unpopular band roamed every corner of New York. Residential areas, rooftops of the Empire State Building, intersections, subways. They were watched, disturbed, and mocked. They were chased by the police and enjoyed themselves. Everyone in the band has no air, they are doing their best to be a part of their dreams. If they are good enough in themselves, the music and drums make these moments shine.
Yes, movies always make everything seem perfect, so people who have been beaten to death by life scolded it as unreal and called on people to face reality. But the world needs you, not for you to understand the world, not for you to learn to be low, negative, and realistic, but for you to create the world and make everything more beautiful. This movie is not for those who have been eaten alive by life, but for those who are still enthusiastic about life after being injured, tell them, you are not alone.
At the end of the film, Dave indulges in the active atmosphere that is sought after by thousands of people, No longer the person G once knew. Therefore, Gretta chose to leave, "I'm sorry to let him do what he wants, but I don't want you anymore." The moving part of the
movie is precisely that the two protagonists did not fall into a stereotyped relationship. People meet when they are lost, inspire and warm each other, and go their separate ways after sunny days, begin again. Don't pursue perfection too much, this is a movie, and a director should have the self-sufficiency and restraint.

    This is a movie that makes you unconsciously shake your body with the rhythm while watching the movie. Before watching the movie, I had cycled "lost stars" countless times, and I liked this song even more after watching the movie. Although I always want to capture every frame of Knightley's footage as an expression, I still want to say that she performed really well in this film~

    Best soundtrack of the year! It's also the most heartwarming movie I've seen so far this year. The entire 100 minutes of watching the film was a wonderful enjoyment, the rhythm was just right, there were a few songs in it that made you feel goosebumps (you need to brush the original soundtrack hard), and the concept of outdoor MV is also super fresh. Knightley's character setting is a bit musty: write songs for her boyfriend after breaking up lol. The last big aperture lens saw tears!
