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,父親反對(dui)極(ji)具音樂(le)天賦的(de)Sorn繼續學(xue)習(xi)音樂(le)。不過天性反叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地練(lian)習(xi),直到爸爸發現并改變了初衷,Sorn正式(shi)的(de)音樂(le)課(ke)程(cheng)得以(yi)開始(shi)。
一次比(bi)賽中,Sorn被對手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在痛(tong)苦(ku)中的他卻突然(ran)有了(le)一次對于人(ren)生的頓悟,這時他正好被皇家劇(ju)院邀請為首席(xi)樂手(shou)。這份職業給Sorn和(he)Khun兩人(ren)帶來不同(tong)的變化(hua)。
二(er)次世界大戰后,泰國政府實行“文化管制(zhi)”的(de)政策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統(tong),這(zhe)無形(xing)中與政府的(de)“西(xi)方化”相抵(di)制(zhi)。盡管他(ta)甚至與警察產生了正面(mian)的(de)沖(chong)突(tu),但是(shi),在人民心中,他(ta)從來(lai)都是(shi)一個(ge)英(ying)雄。
