      The deadline is high, the responsibility is all

      The introduction says it's a "black romance" or something like that, and the front is very consistent, which is exciting.

      The characters in the first half are well written,
      and the shots and atmosphere are very special.

      The second half is dominated by the plot,
      as if a series of strange and incompatible things must happen because they are to be arranged together.
      Those gangster-style violent plots completely ruined this film, and
      I think that's the...

      I was hurt when I saw the bad reviews

      This film was accidentally downloaded by BT four years ago. After watching it, I realized why Emmanuelle was the best actress in the KS Award that year, not Tatu. Today, I saw someone commenting with two stars, and I suddenly felt it.
      She is not an angel or Lei Feng, not beautiful, not cheerful, deaf, and even a little dead neurotic. When she was discriminated against by her superiors, she brought in an unemployed young man with a criminal record, who was Vincent Caso.
      At first...

      It's about desire, not about love

      From the name, I thought this film was about love. Keep looking, the more you look, the more confused you are. I can't guess the beginning and I can't guess the end.

      After watching, the plot is simple. To apply LY's generalization, it is the normal life of a small person, who is involved in uncontrollable turmoil by sudden love.

      A hearing-impaired lady is cautiously working as a secretary. Until I met a man who just got out of prison. Whether it was out of loneliness or out...

      girl who is proficient in lip reading

      Some movies always try to find something new to attract the audience. Although disabled people have lost some organ functions, they often perceive the world in a very strange way. Just a girl who is deaf and proficient in lip reading props up the whole story. In addition, the story has a strong sense of reality, and there are few conjectures about the plot, which means that it restores life more realistically; in the portrayal of the characters, there is no subjective color or sense of...

      Mysterious Journey - Exploring the Unknown Marginal Group (Hard of Hearing)

      Mysterious Journey——Exploring the unknown marginalized people


      There is such a group, they are scattered in every corner of China, without organization, without leadership, everyone works hard like a geese.
      Outwardly, they look like ordinary people. But it always makes you feel like a foreigner, and they occasionally laugh at themselves, "I don't have a hometown with an accent."

      Many of them are severely or profoundly deaf, and stubbornly rely on their Less than 70%...

      A delicate and intense love story of a marginal/defective character: Carla, a hearing-impaired patient, is a secretary of a construction company. She is usually conservative, closed and introverted, while Paul is released from prison after serving his two-year sentence. He bears a large amount of debt. A love mixed with elements of thrilling violent crime. Audia's screenwriting ability is outstanding, the characterization is fresh and full (the plain-looking Carla has a strong inner desire),...

      Dissociated identity is the starting point of fate. Desires and lusts progress in ambiguity. Violent life and death have a reason to stand side by side. The parole officer with the most white space is worth thinking about. Between the search and the lie, there are uneasy pain and regret. Shaking a small scene Multi-layered sound processing for outstanding audio-visual...

    Because of her busy work, Carla needs an assistant, and the employment agency recommends a young man named Paul ( Vincent...

    Evaluation action

    The style of the film is loose, individual, and does not take into account the feelings of others. As a rule, the film does not satisfy the hobby of the audience who likes to watch handsome men and beautiful women. Not only is the heroine unable to be as beautiful as a Lanxi beauty, but the hero is also ugly, dirty and vulgar. Presumably the director may have a soft spot for Western modernist art, and thoroughly implement the aesthetic...
