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(wei)哥哥的(de)(de)悲慘經歷,父(fu)親反(fan)對極具音(yin)樂天賦的(de)(de)Sorn繼(ji)續學習(xi)音(yin)樂。不過(guo)天性反(fan)叛(pan)的(de)(de)Sorn偷偷地練習(xi),直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發(fa)現(xian)并改變了(le)初衷,Sorn正式的(de)(de)音(yin)樂課程得以開始。
一次(ci)比賽(sai)中(zhong),Sorn被(bei)對手(shou)Khun打(da)敗了(le)。沉(chen)浸在痛苦中(zhong)的他卻突然有了(le)一次(ci)對于人(ren)生的頓悟,這時他正好被(bei)皇家劇院邀請為首(shou)席樂(le)手(shou)。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩(liang)人(ren)帶來不同(tong)的變化。
二次世(shi)界(jie)大(da)戰(zhan)后,泰國政(zheng)府(fu)實行(xing)“文化(hua)管(guan)制(zhi)(zhi)”的政(zheng)策(ce)。Sorn身(shen)體力行(xing)維護傳統,這無形中(zhong)與政(zheng)府(fu)的“西(xi)方化(hua)”相抵制(zhi)(zhi)。盡(jin)管(guan)他(ta)甚至與警察產生了(le)正面的沖突,但(dan)是(shi),在人民心中(zhong),他(ta)從來都是(shi)一個英雄。
