Stephanie Coker Hickling portrays herself and her personal life through the image ‘Still from Dandelion’ which seems to capture her struggles at trying to create an artistic zone for herself while being a content creator and storyteller. In the course of a few days Dandelion, the character of the Writer and Director Nicole Riegel’s movie ‘Dandelion puts us through a lifetime she has been transported through a myriad of emotions. Kiki Layne, who is in the character of Dandelion is an aspiring singer originally from Cincinnati, currently sings in a bar during the rush hours when many remain glued to their mobile phones. She makes attempts at writing songs to no avail as people drown out her voice with poorly organized parties and celebrations. She is just about to give up and go home when she feels a sense of resentment coming from her mother who has just picked up a fight with her among the slew of criticisms she says “You should not be a troubadour at the age of 40,” is the least appreciable thing.
After facing the bitter glares from Betsy who was completely exhausted thanks to the South Dakota biker rally she hosted, she seemed animated and eager to speak up about Casey and his acquaintances. It turns out he is part of their friend group and is a musician, albeit a bit cold, his name is Casey (Thomas Doherty). While knowing that he “sells something” he now ponders about, Dandelion seeks to fill in the missing puzzle pieces regarding the true masculine persona of Casey. Casey thinks that he is already too old for chasing after all his ambitions and the best time of his life is yet to come. While Dandelion starts to get used to the changed environment, a tender romance slowly blossoms between her and Casey, who had his doubts but nevertheless was able to tap into her buried, wild passion.
Then follows a process of amazing strolls over the hills, romantic songs that seem to be sung in harmony, and for the Dandelion at the end it is the opportunity to give her love to the music she makes.
However, most of the influence that Riegels’s movie possesses, is within the easy-to-access body language. Singular and as a whole together, Casey and Dandelion do in fact talk through the music they compose and argue: the dialogue examples are the only ones available. An instance is the fireside scene where Dandelion and her partner sit together all comfortably, and while writing a song they end up arguing. In the same way during the actual performance a close-up of the four fingers on guitar strings, mouths open, eyes squeezed shut in ecstasy with the song. It is undeniable that at some point in their careers, Casey and Dandelion become rivals. This is the source of Casey’s frustration, as he wishes to return to the particular Eden Dandelion is referring to.
Casey is the brief image that the music scene was looking for, and the recognition that she has been searching for so long. To dandelion, That looks like the case. Kinsey is a one-of-a-kind force with all the trouble and passion that Casey exudes because Layne is as real and as real as ever.
Niemann can best encapsulate Dandelions which ’mostly are talkative’ They are self-absorbed, threatening only to shift focus to the woman Dandelion and into a feeling that is warm and inviting. Did you have the pleasure and joy of watching Dandelion at the boutique?’ It might be essential to set up the background once the authors rewrote the classical work.
We still love the film but the build-up was poorly orchestrated and fell flat and the conclusion was impossible to believe. However, D. Riegel and her pens writers bring to the table an astonishing adaptation of James Strauss’s famous short story and exceptional metal music which truly does justice to the romance genre where songs trump speeches. Would argue that emotion is the main emphasis, cold as steel and sharp like glass when Strauss the focus and strength of metal helps convey the message that love alone is not enough.
