别样的好

　　Its the start of the sweltering summer of 1976, and the end of term is approaching at a secondary school in Swansea. Idealistic drama teacher Vivienne (Minnie Driver) is holding rehearsals for an ambitious musical production, a take on The Tempest that incorporates the contemporary songs of her pupils pop heroes, a version of the play that both Shakespeare and David Bowie could be proud of. She faces an uphill battle. Her cynical colleagues arent shy about voicing philistine opinions on the project, there are concerns from parents, and the kids are distracted by the business of being teenagers; arguing with adults, playing in bands, cooling off at the lido, worrying about their post-school futures and falling in and out of love. Vivienne ploughs on doggedly, inspired by the kids talent and the deeply-held belief that music and the arts matter. Marc Evans latest feature is a sweet and sincere paean to the 1970s, an invigorating blend of genres, neither a traditional social realist film nor a straight musical. With a refreshing lack of cynicism, its soundtrack celebrates pre-punk pop, and features stirring versions of songs made famous by Bowie, Nick Drake, ELO and The Beach Boys, among others.

电影挺乱的，就看这个丑不拉几的海报就不能给高分。但作为脑残粉，我是冲着Aneurin Barnard去看的。事实证明三哥演高中生毫无违和感，宽肩穿衬衫果然美如画，唱歌也没让我失望。

没有字幕也从头high到尾。再次确认，《暴风雨》是最爱的一部莎剧，果然爱丽儿总是由男性扮演。以及，Aneurin Barnard是最近最爱的英国男！

Aneurin Bernard 美到不行了。。歌好听。。色彩喜欢。。。剧情就是很无聊就是了。。。

太关注塑造每个人物，导致结构太散，有种从中间一掐就碎的感觉。Aneurin真是能唱能跳又能演。
