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(de)悲慘經歷,父親(qin)反(fan)對極具音樂(le)天賦的(de)Sorn繼續學習(xi)(xi)音樂(le)。不(bu)過天性(xing)反(fan)叛的(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地練習(xi)(xi),直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發(fa)現并改變了初衷,Sorn正式(shi)的(de)音樂(le)課程得(de)以開始。
一次比賽中(zhong),Sorn被對(dui)手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在(zai)痛苦(ku)中(zhong)的(de)他卻突然(ran)有了(le)一次對(dui)于人(ren)生的(de)頓悟(wu),這時(shi)他正好(hao)被皇(huang)家(jia)劇(ju)院(yuan)邀請為首(shou)席樂手(shou)。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶來不同的(de)變化。
二次世界大戰后,泰(tai)國政府實行“文化管制”的政策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統(tong),這無形(xing)中與政府的“西方化”相抵制。盡(jin)管他(ta)甚至與警(jing)察產生了正面的沖突,但是(shi)(shi),在人(ren)民心中,他(ta)從來都是(shi)(shi)一個英雄。
