  Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would not let anything stand in your way? Unless, of course, it is your family. In Taiwan, family is everything and it is hard for anyone to turn their backs on their own. This is the situation A-sen finds himself in. Both A-sen's father and grandfather are doctors, and they expect nothing less of him.
  In the last year of junior high school, A-sen is transferred from the music program1 into regular academic courses. A-sen quietly accepts his family's decision. However, at school, he is befriended by A-huei, A-yi, and A-guang, who introduce him to the guitar and get him to join their rock band. Unfortunately, A-sen's father finds out about his plans to compete in a rock band competition. He then forces A-sen to give up his dreams of becoming a musician, just as A-sen's grandfather forced him. For A-sen, music is his life. Will he be a dutiful2 son and do as he is told, or will he fight for his dreams? Catch "Pick3 the Youth" in theaters to find out.

中文翻譯

  您是否曾經非常渴望追求某樣東西,甚至連任何事物無法阻礙您?當然了,除非擋在前方的是您的家庭。在台灣,家庭就是一切,任何人都很難不顧自己的親人。這就是阿森所面臨的處境。阿森的父親和爺爺都是醫生,而他們也期盼他能繼承衣缽。
  國三時,阿森從音樂班轉到普通升學班。阿森默默接受了家人的這項安排。然而在學校,他結識了阿慧、阿一和阿廣,這三人帶他認識吉他這項樂器,並且讓他加入他們的搖滾樂團。不幸的是,阿森的父親發現他要參加搖滾樂團比賽的計畫。於是他就像自己當初被阿森的爺爺強迫一樣,逼迫阿森放棄他成為樂手的夢想。對阿森來說,音樂是他的生命。他會當一個聽話的乖兒子,還是會為了追求夢想而奮力一博?本月份就到戲院裡觀賞《皮克青春》來一探究竟吧。


 



 


More to Know

....The Growing Taiwanese Film Industry
   萎靡了多年的國片市場近來開始從谷底大翻身。2008年創下全台五億三千萬驚人票房的《海角七號》絕對是帶動國片復甦的一大功臣。此後陸續出現許多叫好又賣座的台灣電影,像是2010年的《艋舺》、今年暑假一上映就開出紅盤的《那些年,我們一起追的女孩》、《翻滾吧!阿信》及《賽德克‧巴萊》等,都在在顯示出國片市場開始活絡起來,復甦的榮景可謂是盛況空前。
   《皮克青春》結合了台灣目前最優秀的電影工作人員,包括《藍色大門》的導演易智言為本片監製,以《九降風》奪得金馬獎最佳編劇的蔡宗翰量身為本片打造劇情;佔本片重要元素的音樂部分,則由曾經為《阮玲玉》、《美麗時光》配樂的張藝老師擔任。在戲中擔綱主角阿森的曾宇謙是一位小提琴神童,曾在國內外各大小提琴比賽中贏得無數的獎項,他在片中還有國際級水準的小提琴獨奏表演。此外,影片的主題曲及片尾曲也是片中飾演阿慧那位小女生的創作。《皮克青春》這部電影藉由搖滾樂告訴我們如果想實現夢想,我們就得無所畏懼、不輕易與現實妥協,勇氣絕對會帶領我們往自己的夢想邁進。
