"Hearing Girl", as the best picture at the 94th Academy Awards, tells the story of the heroine Ruby, the only normal person in a deaf-mute family, making a choice between her dreams and her family.

For "The Listening Girl" to win the Oscar for best picture, I think it is well deserved. The simple story is worthy of people's thinking, and it reflects social problems.

On the family side, the scene that stood out to me the most was when the Ruby family came to hear Ruby's chorus, and when the camera panned to them, the music disappeared. This is the movie's best moment, where the director deliberately removes the music to make us feel deaf and feel what the Ruby family feels like. When the chorus ended, the Ruby family also applauded with the audience, but the frequency of the applause was different from others. When the audience was moved to tears by Ruby's voice, they found that Ruby did have a strong voice. Musical strength also decided to send her to Berkeley College to study music and pursue her dream.

This film made me see the importance of family, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the deaf people.

    On the point of "telling a good story", I don't think there's anything wrong with this film. The flow of the plot is like flowing water, with high intentions, downstream, and a stable ending. The card positions at the turning points of each story are so precise, the choreography is meticulous, and a big hand firmly grasps the hearts of the audience, and can even be included in the screenwriter. The textbook for the course is out. Although it also makes the movie look too neat and the carving marks are too heavy, the actors' simple and life-like performances neutralize this very well, which is quite clever. The slightly underappreciated vocal teacher in the film left a deep impression on me. Although he also has the arrogant temperament of being from a famous school, he is still able to stay close to the ground and sincerely listen to the voice of grassroots life. His social status may not be as high as those of his famous alumni who don't touch the ground, but he alone deserves some extra applause and respect.

    It's the kind of movie where you clearly know what's good and what's bad, but you don't really want to say it, you just know you'll watch it many times in the future and recommend it to everyone you know.
