Some people will talk about artistic boundaries, but people who love music will not think so, their view is: the end of speech is music. What does that mean? That is to say, some things (such as emotions) cannot be expressed in words, only in music, so our ancient Ji Kang used "Guangling San" to show the wind and bones of the Wei and Jin people, while the Western composer Chopin used "Polonez Dance" to express the patriotic heart of the naked child.
If you want to talk about a deep level, the more you can't say it explicitly, or the more complex the emotion, the more you need to express it with music. On the other hand, opera, musicals, these comprehensive arts, they have to be very straightforward, after all, there are many works in it that are inseparable from love, and it is always indispensable to say those three words.
If the movie is simpler, under the camera, the actor's eyes, facial expressions, and even body language, we can also see the audience: it is obvious that this pair of men and women "has a problem". So it's no wonder movies and musicals often look to each other for inspiration, such as Phantom of the Theatre, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia, West End Story, Chicago, The Sound of Music, and so on.
But if you want to pursue commercial success, there is nothing wrong with doing so, a good script or a good original book can guarantee that the investment predators will recover the box office. So it's no wonder that the current film market is a bunch of films of the same type, real art films, no one appreciates, and even movie theaters are too lazy to arrange films.
This situation is even more so in our country: the most lively thing during the New Year is the cinema, except for restaurants.
"There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first." Driving is not standardized, and relatives have two lines of tears. "The most popular movie in this year's New Year's schedule, "The Wandering Earth", has made countless people brainwash this traffic police golden sentence, I believe it is all brushed up in your circle of friends. There are many people who compare this work to the American science fiction epic "Star Wars: A New Hope" of that year, but many people ignore a part, in addition to the special effects we smashed with money, the gap between us and "Star Wars", in fact, there is a movie soundtrack, after so many years, the soundtrack of the "Star Wars" series is still evocative, and even some fans say: "It is true that I heard bgm see the trapezoidal subtitles and shiver."
Of course, not every film has the blessing of a god of the level of John Williams like "Star Wars". But the soundtrack is also an integral and important part of the whole film. Otherwise, why should the Academy Awards also set the best film music! Classic film concerts are published as albums and tend to be collected by many movie fans and even music fans.

At present, the soundtrack of the Japanese movie "After" is a very good album. The original title of the movie is それから, which is a continuation word in Japanese, and if translated by Chinese, it may be closer to the meaning "then next", in English, it is estimated to be and then. But Japanese culture is very ambiguous and subtle.
There is another word in Japanese that has the same meaning, and if you learn Japanese, you will know that this そして and それから, although they both have the same meaning, but それから is often an action or situation that connects two relationships that are not very direct. This brings us to the plot of the play.
The story of this drama is actually quite simple, the story is set in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, the male protagonist Nagai Yoshisuke, who graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, is a rich boy who lives a leisurely and free life as a high-end unemployed vagrant. His good brother Hiraoka Tokijiro was poor, his wife suffered from heart disease during the pregnancy of 3,000 surrogates, and his unborn child died tragically. So this Hiraoka broke the can and broke it, lingering in the fireworks place. The family is poor, and the love of the two couples exists in name only.
As the saying goes, a friend's wife cannot be deceived, but Michiyo is actually the sister of another good brother of the rich family, Kannuma (who has died), in fact, our male protagonist has always had a deep admiration for Michiyo, he sympathizes with each other's situation, but the shackles of morality can only lock the fierce emotions deep in the heart.
Japanese films are the best at doing dojos in the shell of a snail, and they are several films directed by Kore-eda that talk about family relations, and have recently gained international fame, such as "Thief Family", "Walking Non-stop", "Deeper Than the Sea" and so on. There are more films about the emotions of "After" that blur the moral boundaries, and I have seen a "Tokyo Tower" about yearless love + extramarital affairs before, but the Japanese made it, it was not annoying, and it felt quite reasonable.
Like the classic Western films described above, "After" is backed by a strong original book— Natsume Soseki's novel of the same name, known as the "Great National Writer." Therefore, the "lily" that represents the love of Yomisuke and Michiyo in the movie is actually the idea in the novel, but the lily in the lens is not only full of classical beauty, but also makes people pitiful.
Such a film, can not use any fancy special effects, but director Morita Yoshimitsu is like adding special effects, it is made into a nostalgic literary masterpiece, in addition to the lens language, the soundtrack is the Japanese film soundtrack master Mei Lin Shigeru, because Wong Kar-wai especially likes to use him, so many of his works are familiar to the Chinese: "Fancy Years", "Generation Grandmaster", "2046" and so on. Even "prologue" in our album, in the later Mei Lin Mao rearranged this work with piano and strings, into the soundtrack of the original film "Generation Grandmaster". Saying this, it is quite a bit of a tribute to myself.
