To show Ada's intertwined life, music and color play a big role. When introducing Ada who can't speak, the picture is dark, and the use of cold tones gives the audience an oncoming depression. And when Ada was sent by her father When she got to be a wife at a man she had never met, a small boat was accompanied by the sound of wind and waves, indicating that Ada's life trajectory was about to change, and something like wind and waves would hit her.

Because of the daughter's childish lines, the audience learned about her The biological father also explained that Ada could not speak. When the mother Ada was forced to be separated from her beloved, she wanted to give the keys to Baynes, but the daughter gave the keys to Stewart. It was this The key actions of key characters propel the film to its climax.
