"Shining Demeanor" Shine, a movie with a very comfortable narrative , starts from a closed restaurant. On a rainy day, a middle-aged man running, rushed into a closed restaurant, and the story began. Rumbling, stammering, looking crazy, wondering what kind of wonderful story and dramatic transformation this protagonist has.

From his mad words, flash back to his childhood growth and experience, "I want to win, I must win", this is the concept transmitted by my father. Through his stubborn and compulsive discipline, my father kept instilling his personal Musical paranoia and regret, pinning all hope and personal paranoia on his own son. Because he felt that he was unlucky to be deprived of learning music in his childhood, and paranoid that his son was lucky to be able to play the piano, so he trained his son almost madly.

How are lucky and unfortunate defined? Are the established facts and unchangeable pains worth recalling again and again? This is what the film discusses. Perhaps there is an inextricable relationship between childhood experiences and growth, but when life changes and fluctuates again, how to deal with it? The shining style may never come from birth, but from the attitude of facing the truth of life.

The film adapted from a real event, the legendary life of Australian piano master David Helfgott, from step by step to the Royal Academy of Music to study piano, to becoming a piano master of a rising star, to becoming a neurotic and being admitted to a mental hospital.

When everyone sighed and was about to forget him, he quietly picked up the piano again, and in his crazy way, met new friends, married his wife, and made a successful comeback again.

One of the places that attracted me to the story was the family relationship, and the other was the protagonist David's crazy ups and downs of the piano master's growth path.

It all started because of the family, because of the father, it was the spark that made David, and the place that destroyed him and made him so miserable that he wanted to escape. Madness is painful and the audience regrets, and madness is just a process, or a way.

After madness comes new life. For a generation of masters, madness is equal to the fall of a genius, and he cannot play the piano normally. The doctors and nurses also prevented David from playing the piano. At one time, he thought that not mentioning the past or touching the past was the best way to treat him. And David's real treatment began when he left the mental hospital. It was to face and re-experience the addiction to the piano, which he couldn't give up, and he could play it with both hands.

It's not crazy to talk crazy and not to speak. David's wife encouraged and guided him, let him say, so madly, bravely and completely, that love is the cure, and it made a mad and weird pianist shine again, play, come back, marry, and live.

Everything has seasons, maybe it's the laws of nature, maybe it's the stars. When I was growing up, my father repeatedly said in front of David that he was deprived of the luck of learning the violin, and that was hurt to him. Finally, when David came back to shine again, my father came to David, hugged David, and told himself that he was still The person who loves David the most in the world.

Only this time, when Dad asked David how his violin was, David said he didn't know, because he didn't want to immerse himself in the past, help his father to experience the hurt of the past again, and he didn't want to re-experience it again. harm. After listening to the answer, Dad turned to leave, David looked at Dad's lonely back from the window, and silently said "good night".

good night world. We are about to go to sleep, rest, and welcome the morning light of the second day.

    The speed of my uncle's speech is too fast, it matches the rhythm of the piano music he plays~! I can understand the situation that some people wear different socks, but they don’t wear the same pair of shoes. . .
