The film "Famous" tells the story of eight teenagers from all walks of life and different family backgrounds, each of whom came to take the exam with a dream, and in the four years of college life, tried, hit a wall, and started over, and everyone's growth was visible.
Fame is the first time to enter the society, each of us has a secret to be released. Of course, 107 minutes does not sum up the four years of adolescence, but it is undeniable that it is visible and universal. When I first entered the university, I was ignorant and curious. I thought that a sentence of "my life is up to me" can subvert our family background and educational experience before we stepped into the campus, but then we found ourselves alone and helpless when we were fighting, and we were forced to be strong. There is a place where there is a traumatic memory, and although it hurts faintly in the dark night when there is no one around, people just repeatedly choose to forget with experience. In the film, the teacher advises Malik: "Accept your own situation and break those walls of heart." And in the end, Malik, on stage, in his own way, with the attitude of a rapper, broke down the wall of hearts he had built.
In the film, the principal said in his opening speech: "In the next four years, you will have a unique experience, immersed in art, and you will show talent and excellence." But is that the case? No. We don't care about your grades, we don't care about your body, what awards you've won. Here you will have to work dozens of times more hard than others to learn, here you will learn to be disciplined, here you will understand what it means to be a true artist. People who want to take shortcuts, who want to become famous overnight, who want to get something for free, please leave now. There are a lot of talented young people out there who can easily replace you. ”
Fame is my ignorant wish and unattainable ideal. Youth is full of enthusiasm, everyone seems to be an individual who has never met a talent, looking forward to getting rich overnight and looking forward to overnight fame. In the world of ideas that are in a hurry for success, we have hit our heads and broken our blood. But perhaps only through experience will you realize that the words of teenagers who are worried about giving new words are impetuous and despicable, and they are willing to dive into the water willingly. Jenny goes to Andy's motorhome to realize that there is no shortcut to being a good actress; Angela realizes that the last role she wants to play is an artist because she missed her studies in Sesame Street; Marco realizes that his innocence is only paid for by himself after being cheated by the producer.
What makes you famous? What does it take to be successful? Jenny said on stage: "Success, not money, status, power and fame. Success is waking up early in the morning with such passion for what you're going to do that you have to rush out the door. It's being with the people you love, it's connecting with the world, it's being and feeling. It's a group of people who don't know each other but have the same dreams, get together, work hard during the day, and sleep peacefully at night. It's joy, freedom and friendship, it's love. ”
Fame is the experience I gave myself to. Marco didn't make a film of his own when he graduated, but he said: "Four years of ups and downs, ups and downs, full of joy and disappointment, boredom and joy, it was exactly what I expected." "Everyone says that adolescence is the most wonderful time of life because it is short and beautiful; and I would say that adolescence is the most unforgettable time of life because we are brave and fearless. Dennis found her light in four years, she was not only the girl who was a great piano technician, who grew up step by step under the expectations of her parents, she found her most confident self on the stage, in front of the microphone. Finding ourselves is a problem worth thinking about for the rest of our lives. But at different stages, we need to seriously pursue the voice of the inner call, even if we give it all, it is worth it.
"All that makes you feel ashamed, all the secrets you want to hide, all the places in you that you want to change, make up you as a person, and that's where your strength lies." Refuse to admit it and you will be useless. ”
In modern society, the voices of the media rise and fall, and the outstanding performances are worthy of being reported by them, and at the same time, we who live in this context often focus on these outstanding unity of life and ignore our own universality. Our lives are ordinary, our people are mediocre, and our past experiences can only be skipped by a frame, but this is who we are.
Park Shu sang in "Ordinary Road": "Once crossed the mountains and the sea, but also through the sea of people, everything I once had, in the blink of an eye, is like smoke, I was once lost and disappointed to lose all directions, until I saw the ordinary is the only answer." "The eyes that have seen the world will care more about the world in front of them, real and accessible."
When we grow up, we always stop talking about ideals, which is a beautiful dream of ours; when we grow up, we always miss our youth, which is the years we struggled; when we grow up, we erase impetuosity and hostility; when we grow up, we lose our rationality and criticism: when we grow up, we no longer talk about obvious unspoken rules, but when we grow up, we always think of the rhetoric of our youth.
Camus said, "My soul is so far away from me, and my existence is so real." "When we grow up, we must have changed a lot, but I hope you remember that your eighteen-year-old self once dreamed: to be famous all over the world."
