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(fan)對極具音(yin)樂天賦的(de)Sorn繼(ji)續(xu)學習音(yin)樂。不過天性反(fan)叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地(di)練習,直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并(bing)改變了(le)初衷(zhong),Sorn正式的(de)音(yin)樂課程得以開(kai)始(shi)。
一次比(bi)賽(sai)中,Sorn被(bei)(bei)對手(shou)Khun打敗(bai)了。沉(chen)浸在痛苦中的他卻突然有了一次對于人生(sheng)的頓悟,這(zhe)時他正好被(bei)(bei)皇家劇(ju)院邀請為首席(xi)樂手(shou)。這(zhe)份職(zhi)業給Sorn和Khun兩(liang)人帶來不同的變化。
二(er)次世界大戰后,泰國(guo)政(zheng)府(fu)實行(xing)“文(wen)化管制(zhi)”的政(zheng)策。Sorn身體力行(xing)維護傳統,這無形中與政(zheng)府(fu)的“西(xi)方化”相抵制(zhi)。盡管他甚至(zhi)與警察產生了正面(mian)的沖突,但是,在人民(min)心中,他從來都是一個英(ying)雄(xiong)。
