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)哥哥的悲慘經歷,父親反對極具(ju)音樂(le)天賦的Sorn繼續學習(xi)音樂(le)。不過(guo)天性反叛的Sorn偷偷地練習(xi),直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發(fa)現并改變了初衷,Sorn正(zheng)式的音樂(le)課程得以開始。
一(yi)次比(bi)賽中,Sorn被對手(shou)Khun打(da)敗了。沉(chen)浸(jin)在痛苦中的(de)(de)他卻突然有(you)了一(yi)次對于(yu)人(ren)生的(de)(de)頓悟(wu),這(zhe)時他正(zheng)好(hao)被皇家劇(ju)院邀請(qing)為首席樂手(shou)。這(zhe)份(fen)職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶來不同的(de)(de)變化(hua)。
二次世(shi)界大戰后(hou),泰國(guo)政府實行(xing)“文化管制(zhi)”的(de)(de)政策。Sorn身(shen)體力行(xing)維護傳統,這無形中(zhong)與(yu)政府的(de)(de)“西(xi)方化”相抵制(zhi)。盡管他(ta)甚至與(yu)警察產生了正面的(de)(de)沖(chong)突,但(dan)是,在人民心中(zhong),他(ta)從來都是一(yi)個英雄。
