Review : Music and lyrics (K歌情人)

I went to see ‘Music and lyrics’ this afternoon. That’s why I wrote a review for this movie.

With a good song and outdated costumes, this film started. I was so curious about the beginning of this film and looked forward to watching the progress in this film. The main actress, Sophie, who was a plant cuter turns out to be a born songwriter. The main actor ,Alex , who was not popular in the music industry at that time found Sophie good at creating profound image of words. She compared the melody to the physical sex in life. If there is only good melody in a song, it still can not touch listener. The situation is like two people who made love at the first date due to impulse, and they didn’t contact each other. What really makes a song endure the test of time. According to her opinion, it is the lyrics that make the song immortal. After Alex understood the importance of the lyrics, he volunteered to spend more time composing lyrics instead of the melody.

They encouraged each other in the process no matter how hard it was. For example, Alex was a sensitive male. He can observe little thing like when she felt hungry and took initiative to feed her. Sophie who had been very spontaneous all the time went to the amusement park with him. When he felt down to continue performing, she was very thoughtful to give him courage to perform on the stage.

However, their painstaking effort is going to be in vain because Alex didn’t insist on their dream. The Cora who was the most famous singer in the world took their song with revise. Though Alex didn’t like her to do it, he still allowed her to do it and then he would become famous again. Instead, Sophie can’t tolerate it at all and decided to break up with Alex.

Finally, Cora and Alex host a big performance. He successfully convince Cora to take their former version and wrote a song for a true love, Sophie. Therefore, he got her love back again.

Here are the lyrics he wrote to her.
And the content in the lyrics was full of their common memories.

Don't Write Me Off -
Hugh GrantIt's never been easy for me to find words that go along with a melody.
But this time ther's actually something on my mind, so please forgive these few brief awkward lines.Since I've met you,
my whole life has changed, it's not just my furniture you've rearranged.
I was living the past, but somehow you've brought me back. And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said,
"Relax!"And now I know, based on my track record, I might not seem like the safest bet.
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off just yet.
For years I've been telling myself the same old story, that I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reason to take another chance.
Now I need you, despite the fact that you've killed all my plants.And though I know, I've already blown more chances than anyone should ever get.
All I'm asking you is, don't write me off just yet. Don't write me off just yet.


People need to pursue their dreams though life is always hard. We would have different dreams though some of them are big; some of them are small. We still need to take every opportunity to fulfill them instead of regretting afterward. Alex who was inspired by Sophie finally insisted on composing the songs of his style instead of catering to the market. I wish I can also be as brave as Alex did.

“Do what you value a lot right now and cherish every minutes you get along with your family and friends are very important”
