Songcatcher (2000)

The story takes place in 1907, although women have been able to enter the university to find a job, but it is still very difficult to keep their position and get promotion, Lily. Panrellick is one of them. Although Lily has made great achievements in the field of music research, she has once again lost the opportunity for promotion. Angry and disappointed, she decided to leave school temporarily to visit her sister Ina in the Appalachian Mountains. When she came to this wild land, Lily was surprised to find a treasure trove of music: those beautiful and ancient Scottish and Irish folk songs, handed down from generation to generation, have been well protected by this remote mountainous area. but at the same time, it also led to them for a long time "raised in boudoir outsiders do not know that she is extremely beautiful." As a music theorist, Lily immediately realized the value of these folk songs, and she seemed to see the hope of promotion again. With clunky and crude recording equipment, she entered the most remote mountain areas with the dream of collecting and sorting out folk songs. At first, Lily was only driven by utilitarianism to do this complicated and complicated work, and she even did not hesitate to elicit songs from the simple local residents. But with the increasing contact with folk songs and mountain people, she could not help being fascinated by all this, not only.
