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(yin)為哥哥的(de)(de)悲慘經歷,父親反對極(ji)具音樂(le)天賦的(de)(de)Sorn繼續(xu)學習(xi)音樂(le)。不過(guo)天性反叛的(de)(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地練習(xi),直到(dao)爸爸發現并(bing)改(gai)變了初衷(zhong),Sorn正式的(de)(de)音樂(le)課(ke)程得(de)以(yi)開始。
一(yi)(yi)次比賽中(zhong),Sorn被(bei)對手(shou)Khun打敗了(le)。沉浸在(zai)痛苦(ku)中(zhong)的他卻突然有了(le)一(yi)(yi)次對于人生的頓(dun)悟,這(zhe)時他正好被(bei)皇家(jia)劇院(yuan)邀請為首(shou)席樂手(shou)。這(zhe)份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人帶來不(bu)同的變(bian)化。
二次(ci)世界大戰后(hou),泰國政府實(shi)行(xing)“文化管(guan)制”的(de)政策。Sorn身體力(li)行(xing)維護(hu)傳統,這無形中與(yu)政府的(de)“西方化”相抵制。盡管(guan)他(ta)(ta)甚至與(yu)警(jing)察產生了正面(mian)的(de)沖(chong)突,但是,在人民心中,他(ta)(ta)從(cong)來都是一個英雄。
