倒数时刻

"Countdown Hours" is a music biopic directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film will be released in the United States on November 19, 2021, starring Andrew Garfield and Bradley Whitford. The film is adapted from Jonathan Larson's autobiographical play of the same name. It tells the touching story of the young musical writer Jonathan facing the test of life and dreams and making choices.

Set in New York in 1990, Jonathan, a young and ambitious musical composer, works as a waitress at a restaurant while working on a musical called Pride. With a dream of music career in his heart, he is eager to pursue his talent and show his ambition, but he faces many challenges on the road of chasing his dream.

Jonathan's girlfriend Susan has doubts and pressure about his future. She gradually got tired of Jonathan sacrificing too much for his career, and had doubts about the future of the two. This contradiction and choice made Jonathan fall into inner struggle. He began to re-examine his choices, thinking whether it was worth fighting for his dreams at the expense of the happiness with his beloved.

At the same time, Jonathan's roommate Michael also became a contrast to him. Like Jonathan, Michael once had a firm creative dream. But in the face of the cruel reality, Michael gave up his musical dream and chose a high-paying job in the advertising industry instead. This comparison made Jonathan feel even more confused. He began to think about whether his decision was correct, whether he should give up his dream like Michael and pursue a more realistic life.

Jonathan, who is approaching 30, feels anxious in the cracks of his mind. He repeatedly weighed his inner and outer pressures, struggling between dreams and reality. This moment became the countdown moment in his life, and it was also a critical moment for him to make an important choice.
