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)悲慘經歷,父親反對極(ji)具音(yin)樂天賦(fu)的(de)Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂。不過天性反叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地(di)練習,直(zhi)到爸爸發現并改變了初衷,Sorn正(zheng)式的(de)音(yin)樂課程得(de)以開始。
一次(ci)比賽中(zhong),Sorn被對手Khun打敗了。沉浸在痛苦(ku)中(zhong)的(de)他卻突(tu)然有了一次(ci)對于人(ren)生的(de)頓(dun)悟,這時他正(zheng)好被皇家劇院(yuan)邀請為首席樂手。這份(fen)職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶(dai)來不同(tong)的(de)變(bian)化。
二次(ci)世界大戰后,泰國政府(fu)實行“文(wen)化(hua)(hua)管制”的政策。Sorn身體力行維護(hu)傳(chuan)統,這(zhe)無形中與政府(fu)的“西方(fang)化(hua)(hua)”相抵制。盡管他(ta)(ta)甚(shen)至與警察產生了正(zheng)面的沖突(tu),但是,在人民心中,他(ta)(ta)從來都是一(yi)個英雄(xiong)。
