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(bei)慘經歷,父親反(fan)對極具音(yin)樂(le)天賦(fu)的(de)Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂(le)。不(bu)過天性反(fan)叛的(de)Sorn偷偷地練習,直(zhi)到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并改(gai)變了初衷,Sorn正式的(de)音(yin)樂(le)課程得(de)以開始。
一(yi)次比賽(sai)中(zhong),Sorn被對手Khun打敗(bai)了。沉浸在痛苦中(zhong)的他卻突(tu)然有(you)了一(yi)次對于人生(sheng)的頓悟,這時(shi)他正好被皇家劇院邀請(qing)為(wei)首席樂手。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人帶(dai)來不同的變化。
二次世界大(da)戰后(hou),泰國政府實行“文化(hua)管(guan)制(zhi)(zhi)”的(de)(de)政策。Sorn身體力行維護傳統,這(zhe)無形中與(yu)(yu)政府的(de)(de)“西方化(hua)”相(xiang)抵制(zhi)(zhi)。盡管(guan)他甚至與(yu)(yu)警(jing)察產生(sheng)了正面的(de)(de)沖突,但是,在人民心中,他從來都是一個英雄。
