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)悲慘(can)經歷(li),父親反對極具音(yin)樂(le)天賦的(de)Sorn繼續學習(xi)音(yin)樂(le)。不過(guo)天性反叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地練(lian)習(xi),直到(dao)爸(ba)爸(ba)發(fa)現并改變(bian)了初(chu)衷,Sorn正(zheng)式的(de)音(yin)樂(le)課程得以開(kai)始。
一次比賽中,Sorn被對(dui)手Khun打(da)敗了(le)。沉浸在痛苦中的他卻(que)突然(ran)有了(le)一次對(dui)于人生的頓(dun)悟,這(zhe)時他正好被皇家(jia)劇院邀請為首(shou)席樂手。這(zhe)份(fen)職業(ye)給Sorn和Khun兩人帶(dai)來不同的變化(hua)。
二次世界(jie)大戰后,泰國政(zheng)(zheng)府實(shi)行“文化管(guan)制(zhi)”的政(zheng)(zheng)策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統,這無形(xing)中(zhong)與政(zheng)(zheng)府的“西方(fang)化”相(xiang)抵制(zhi)。盡管(guan)他甚至與警察產(chan)生了正面的沖突,但是(shi),在人民心中(zhong),他從來都是(shi)一個英雄(xiong)。
