內(nèi)容介紹

Based on the life of Luang Pradit Pairoh (Sorn Silapabanleng) the most revered traditional Thai music master who lived during the reigns of Kings Rama V to VIII, the movie traces the life of Sorn, who picked up the ra-nad ek (Thai xylophone) mallets as a small child and played all his life. The backdrop to Sorn's life tale is the story of Thailand's classical music from its golden age during the reign of King Rama V to near extinction after the end of the absolute monarchy when the government banned it as uncivilised in the 1930s -- a time when Field Marshall Plaek Pibulsongkram tried to push the Kingdom into the modern era. The film shifts back and forth from the time when Sorn was a young man, playing in a xylophone duel with the intense Kun In, to the 1940s, when Thailand was under Japanese occupation and Sorn's playing would provide some inspiration to the oppressed citizenry of the time.

因為哥哥的悲慘經(jīng)歷，父親反對極具音樂天賦的Sorn繼續(xù)學習音樂。不過天性反叛的Sorn偷偷地練習，直到爸爸發(fā)現(xiàn)并改變了初衷，Sorn正式的音樂課程得以開始。

一次比賽中，Sorn被對手Khun打敗了。沉浸在痛苦中的他卻突然有了一次對于人生的頓悟，這時他正好被皇家劇院邀請為首席樂手。這份職業(yè)給Sorn和Khun兩人帶來不同的變化。

二次世界大戰(zhàn)后，泰國政府實行“文化管制”的政策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統(tǒng)，這無形中與政府的“西方化”相抵制。盡管他甚至與警察產(chǎn)生了正面的沖突，但是，在人民心中，他從來都是一個英雄。
