A lovely story about the heart and the true artists

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2019)

The message of the film is so lovely that it makes me weep.
Since long I've been thinking of TRUE artists, as well as TRUE scientists, TRUE businesspeople, TRUE educators... wondering about their ways of choosing "a side" when it comes to the happening of war or such political matters. I always believe that those ones have their own side, not the two political sides. Their side is the heart and how free it can be to beat the rhythm of love. That's an important messgage many people may have learnt but we do need to make sure every next generation, young artists and young people with expertises, should acknowlege, understand and consider it as the meaning of their working life.
Talented artists can make a good living anywhere because all and every human society -- no matter which side or what political background -- needs art. How beautiful it is in this movie, the film makers choose music as an incarnation of art and the context of the Cold War in Europe to tell the story of artists and how they evolve from 'talented' to 'true' artists.
After all, Cold War is just a war like any other wars. After watching this movie, as a Vietnamese I imagine what if this love story should happen in the Vietnam War, two sides are the South and North Vietnam, then the couple's hearts would still be theirs and the flow would be the same, as lovely and warm as true artists' hearts.
Another thing to say, artists are supposed to be born to feel lonely. So how lovely it is to see an artist couple finding love and freely choose a happy ending together.
Such lovely story is told by brilliant storytellers: the movie makers. My praise for the directing, sceenplay writing, cinematography, production design, and leading male and female actors.
