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(ge)哥(ge)的(de)悲(bei)慘經(jing)歷,父親(qin)反對極具(ju)音樂(le)天(tian)(tian)賦的(de)Sorn繼(ji)續(xu)學習音樂(le)。不過天(tian)(tian)性反叛的(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地(di)練(lian)習,直到爸爸發現(xian)并(bing)改(gai)變(bian)了初(chu)衷,Sorn正式的(de)音樂(le)課(ke)程得以開始。
一次(ci)比賽中,Sorn被對(dui)(dui)手(shou)Khun打(da)敗了。沉(chen)浸在痛苦(ku)中的他卻(que)突然有了一次(ci)對(dui)(dui)于人(ren)生的頓悟,這時他正(zheng)好被皇家劇院(yuan)邀請為首席樂手(shou)。這份(fen)職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶來不同的變化。
二次世(shi)界(jie)大戰后,泰國(guo)政府實行(xing)(xing)“文化(hua)管制(zhi)”的政策。Sorn身體(ti)力行(xing)(xing)維護傳(chuan)統(tong),這無形中(zhong)與政府的“西(xi)方化(hua)”相(xiang)抵(di)制(zhi)。盡管他(ta)甚至(zhi)與警察產生了正面的沖突,但(dan)是,在人民(min)心中(zhong),他(ta)從來都是一(yi)個英雄。
