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(can)經歷,父親(qin)反(fan)對極具音(yin)樂(le)(le)天賦(fu)的(de)Sorn繼(ji)續學習音(yin)樂(le)(le)。不過(guo)天性(xing)反(fan)叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地練習,直到爸爸發現(xian)并改變了(le)初(chu)衷(zhong),Sorn正(zheng)式(shi)的(de)音(yin)樂(le)(le)課程得以開始。
一次(ci)比賽(sai)中,Sorn被對手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉(chen)浸在痛苦中的(de)他卻突(tu)然(ran)有了(le)一次(ci)對于人生的(de)頓悟,這時他正好被皇家劇院邀請為(wei)首席樂(le)手(shou)。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人帶(dai)來不同的(de)變(bian)化。
二次世(shi)界(jie)大戰后,泰國政(zheng)(zheng)府實行(xing)“文化管(guan)制”的政(zheng)(zheng)策(ce)。Sorn身體力行(xing)維護傳統,這無形中與政(zheng)(zheng)府的“西方化”相(xiang)抵制。盡(jin)管(guan)他(ta)甚至(zhi)與警察產生了正面(mian)的沖突,但是(shi),在(zai)人民心中,他(ta)從來都是(shi)一個英(ying)雄。
