      outside the silence

      Saw this movie on a Wednesday afternoon. The school museum happened to be on display that day, so I went in to see it.
          Overall, I like this movie a lot. What I may like is not its plot, but such a feeling.
          So first of all, I would like to discuss the plot of the movie from the perspective of "feeling".
          The beginning of the movie is chic. A conversation started by a terrified girl running to her parents' bedroom one night of thunder and lightning. Father's sentence...

      beyond silent love

      When I watched this movie, it was cloudy in Beijing, and the dusty weather mentioned on the TV had 3-4 winds.
      Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 15th floor, I watched the trees below shaking their leaves violently, but I couldn't feel the flow of air at all. With headphones, even the sound is cut off from the world.

      Stille der Liebe

      If the Americans were filmed, I think it would definitely be a very emotional and warm blockbuster. But it's a German movie after all, with a slow pace and a dull plot. But this is also the charm of German cinema.
      At the end of the film, Lara's father finally takes his daughter's entrance exam. At this time, the revealing of family affection is undisguised, and it slowly relaxes with the melodious melody of the clarinet.
      Clearly, both Lara and his father have heard the call to love in...

      Xueluo's silent emotion

      The fluent sign language seems to have the rhythm of jumping notes. The voiced people in the silent world have a talent for music. She loves the clarinet, and I am afraid that the deep and distant tone of the clarinet just responds to her inner cry. Just like the traditional music she loves, serene but hidden throbbing, joy mixed with sadness, she used her sign language to give her parents who could not hear everything a pair of ears to see the world, but sometimes she felt that her inner world...

      silence

      I've read the movie a few years ago, and I haven't seen any reviews, so no one recommends it. Movies about music will subconsciously want to watch. After a few years, why, oh, why do I always ask myself so many whys.
      The same lonely night, the same silent space. A somewhat rebellious little girl, slowly recounting her growth, without being pretentious or exaggerating. I like the feeling of sharing with you like this, the long shots, and the simple narrative.
      Lala, her stubbornness and...

      In fact, it's very general. I feel that it has nothing to do with music. I want to say too much, and the cuts are too messy. The male ticket is a mess,...

    Movie plot

    Lara lives in a small town in southern Germany and was raised by deaf and mute parents. Since Rafa is the only person in the family who can hear and speak, at the age of eight, he was already a bridge between his parents (played by Sigal and Raberly) and the outside world, handling banking affairs, answering phone calls, and even translating teacher comments and TV dramas for parents to listen to. , which handles all outgoing contacts...

    Behind the scenes gags

    This film describing the ethics and affection of a deaf-mute family is calm and delicate, with a serene beauty. The subject matter is heavy but there are a lot of humorous brushstrokes. The effect is quite moving. The scene where the father and daughter listen to "the sound of the snow" by the window, and the finale climax of the father's unexpected appearance to watch his daughter take the stage for the first time and telling Lara in...

    Evaluation action

    "Jenseits der Stille" is a rare film to make a high box office. It's a film that goes deep into family situations and is by far the best German film ever made. Every part of this touching film is handled with great precision, clever and sensual, and the actors perform well, including the soundtrack. It is the best among German films at the 14th Munich Film Festival. The film does not emphasize the HANDICAP of deaf and mute parents, but...

    Movie quotes

    • Lara: The saddest things in life are separations and deaths. I don't want to say good-bye anymore. I've had enough of that.

    • Martin: How does snow sound? What does it say to you?

      Lara: It says, "Crunch, crunch, brr, brr."

      Martin: What are "crunch" and "brr"? What kind of words are they?

      Lara: To tell the truth, snow doesn't say much. It's even said that snow swallows every sound. When snow is on the ground, everything is much quieter.

      Martin: Honest? Snow makes the world quiet? That's beautiful.
