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)悲慘經歷,父(fu)親反對極具音(yin)樂天(tian)賦(fu)的(de)Sorn繼續學習音(yin)樂。不過(guo)天(tian)性反叛(pan)的(de)Sorn偷(tou)偷(tou)地(di)練(lian)習,直到爸(ba)爸(ba)發現并(bing)改變了初衷,Sorn正式(shi)的(de)音(yin)樂課程得以開始。
一(yi)次(ci)比賽中,Sorn被對(dui)手(shou)Khun打敗了。沉浸在痛(tong)苦中的他卻突(tu)然有(you)了一(yi)次(ci)對(dui)于人(ren)生的頓(dun)悟,這時(shi)他正(zheng)好被皇家劇院邀請為首席樂手(shou)。這份職業給Sorn和Khun兩人(ren)帶(dai)來不同的變(bian)化。
二次世界大戰后,泰(tai)國政(zheng)府實行(xing)“文(wen)化管(guan)制”的政(zheng)策。Sorn身(shen)體(ti)力行(xing)維(wei)護傳統,這(zhe)無形中與(yu)政(zheng)府的“西方化”相抵制。盡管(guan)他甚至與(yu)警察產生(sheng)了正面的沖突,但是(shi),在人民心中,他從來都是(shi)一個(ge)英雄。
