We mainly do three things in this episode, talk about movies, talk about music, and pick a turntable.
The first part of "The Mechanic" tells the story of Arthur, the killer played by Statham, who has a very subtle technique, a stable mentality, and every target he aims at dies silently, just like natural death, without attracting people's attention, which is why he stands at the top of the killer series.
Count the killer Arthur
However, instead, Arthur is given a new mission to assassinate his old partner and mentor Harry. Although Arthur could not bear to do it, after clearly learning that Harry was inevitably dead, he finally sent Harry away. At this time, Harry's son Steve appeared, and in order to avenge his father, he decided to learn from Arthur. Under Arthur's training, Steve gradually mastered the skills necessary for the killer, and collaborated with Arthur on one assassination mission after another. Although Arthur never told Steve about Harry's killer, Steve learned that his father had been murdered by Arthur, and eventually the two tough guys each showed off their abilities to start a simple story of the final showdown.

Let's move on to the piece, the second movement of Schubert's Piano Trio No. 2 in E major, Schubert: Piano Trio, D.929.
Speaking of piano trio, the earliest form of chamber music existed only as an accompaniment to piano sonatas. However, with the advent of the "Grand Duke" trio and so on, Beethoven raised its status to the point of equal emphasis on strings and pianos, and harmony directly chased the symphony, which can be said to be unprecedented. Those who came later also felt pressure, so there were few people who came out. At the end of 1827 Schubert composed two of his own piano trios, one to challenge Beethoven's heights, and the other from an invitation from his musician friends in Vienna: violinist Shupanchek, cellist Joseph Linke was the soul of the group that premiered Beethoven's late quartet, and the bohemian pianist Bochlert.

On January 28, 1828, at Spann's grandiose engagement ceremony, Buchlert, Shupanchek, and Linke played a trio by Schubert. It is this first E-tuning three.

Schubert's Piano Trio fully integrates his experience in composing string quartets and piano sonatas, and is the most able to grasp the beauty of classical music and his romantic grammar in his chamber music works, fully demonstrating the harmonious beauty of chamber music. In the work, Schubert focuses on the use of a changeable melody to portray the ups and downs of the soul, especially in the second movement, the cello gently embraces the piano and sings in a low voice, tugging at the listener's heart, and the listener only wants to cry, which is incomparably beautiful. In the second installment after this episode, there is a visual score video in which you can see the melodic direction of the cello and the intertwined and tangled gentle changes between the violin. Some music critics believe that the work presents a kind of "blood-crying beauty". Schubert himself said of D.929: "It is not a gift to a certain person, but all those who can find beauty in it are its masters."
