Be yourself ── a review of High School Musical

　　Good movies are just enjoyable as good books ─ they enriches our souls.

　　I watched High School Musical a few days ago and I just can’t help indulging in the music in the movies. The songs are so energetic and touching. It’s just like you are rejuvenated when you listen to the songs.

　　What is more, the simple story carries a great message: Be what you want to be and have no fear of how others are gonna think of you. We live our own lives, not ones confined to others’ expectations.



　　The following is the lyrics of "Breaking Free", one of the fabulous songs in the movie, which is also, in my opinion, the one that can express the theme of the film the most :



Troy :

We're soaring Flying 我們展翅高飛

There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach 我們為何不能摘下



Gabriella:

If we're trying 只要我們努力

So were breaking free 就可以自由無拘束



Troy:

You know the world can see us 你知道這世界能看見

In a way that's different than who we are 全然不同的自己



Gabriella:
Creating space between us 不斷將我們隔開
Till we're seperate hearts 直到我們的心分開

Troy & Gabriella:
But your faith, it gives me strength 但你的信念給了我力量
Strength to believe 給我力量去相信

Troy:
We're breaking free 我們可以自由無拘束

Troy & Gabriella:
We're soaring Flying我們展翅高飛
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach 天堂裡每一顆星星我們為何不能摘下

Troy:
If we're trying 只要我們(嘗試)努力

Troy & Gabriella:

Troy:

Troy:

Like a wave the ocean just can't control 它就像海洋，無法掌控的海浪

Gabriella:
Connected by a feeling 連結你的感受
Ohhh, in our very souls 在我們的靈魂裡

So every one can see 直到所有人都看見

Troy:
