Rock ’n’ Roll is an electrifying collision of the romantic and the revolutionary. It is 1968 and the world is ablaze with rebellion, accompanied by a sound track of the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Clutching his prized collection of rock albums, Jan, a Cambridge graduate student, returns to his homeland of Czechoslovakia just as Soviet tanks roll into Prague. When security forces tighten their grip on artistic expression, Jan is inexorably drawn toward a dangerous act of dissent. Back in England, Jan’s volcanic mentor, Max, faces a war of his own as his free-spirited daughter and his cancer-stricken wife attempt to break through his walls of academic and emotional obstinacy. Over the next twenty years of love, espionage, chance, and loss, the extraordinary lives of Jan and Max spin and intersect until an unexpected reunion forces them to see what is truly worth the fight.

Stoppard一嚮有梗,隻是這次的梗變成瞭地下絲絨、平弗、宇宙塑膠人和哈維爾,變成國族和時代夾縫裡的一點失落和一點不屈。相比Arcadia的機巧,這部看起來是更有sentimental的成分,但Stoppard對humanity的書寫是不變的:Amachanon, non-machine. Uncontrollable, UNCAGEABLE.
評分斯大叔最為"sentimental"的一部,中規中矩地談藝術說政治感際遇嘆人生。雖偶爾還“I'm not thinking. I'm smoking about something"賣個萌,耍帥的妙語連珠確是少瞭。不管怎樣總忍不住要將我們的偉大祖國和捷剋代入相比——我們能做什麼?
評分對社會主義和資本主義其實都有反思和討論。即使天鵝絨革命之後,擺脫瞭極權政治,作傢也在擔心,接下來資本主義會給捷剋帶來什麼。
