Nick Hornby's novel "High Fidelity", an uncommitted child, depicts the life of a man living in a childish way with his music. Rob Fleming is struggling to meet his needs, but he is dedicated to what he wants. The lack of this commitment is concerned with the relationship between Rob and people in daily life. Rob Fleming lived his life carelessly, living in a simple way, burning the bridge with the people near him, and realizing that he truly is careing them too late.

To be faithful, Nick Horn wants to know rather than obsession with the 1995 novel, "Because I am miserable" because I am listening to music or listening to music. Thousands of songs about breaking your heart. He is not wrong. Neil Young talks that "Only love can break your heart," Aretha Franklin sings a way for her to "hold back my own tears". Michael Jackson further advanced and cried tears whenever she shot a 1979 album "Off the Wall" that she is "my life". From Smokey Robinson 's "Clown tears" to Hank Williams, I am very lonely, I can cry, Pop music was always a comfortable hug, it is always that we are not alone when they collapse

Both Nick Hornby's novel 'High Fidelity' and filming by Stephen Frears depict important information about this story, but Hornby can better convey these ideas through literary techniques. This novel was adapted to the 2000 feature film which was played by John Cusack as Rob of Stephen Frees. To some extent, this movie explains the novel as accurate. A movie can describe the essence of the original novel well, but as for details it lacks the contribution of the story that gives it a specific tone, and Hornby tries to tell the audience.
