Very warm film, many clips are almost silent watching sign language and subtitles, which can be regarded as a very special viewing experience.

Spoiler alert ahead---


The story takes place in a small town where a deaf-mute family makes a living by fishing. Ruby is the only person in the family who can hear and speak normally, so she undertakes the simultaneous interpretation of the family. Ruby meets her Bole Mr. V Teachers helped her prepare for Berklee College of Music and that meant the family lost the only person they could communicate with the outside world, especially when it came to starting a fish business. Her parents refused at first and then they went to one of their daughters' After the concert, I learned about my daughter's love for music and decided to support her in pursuing her music dream. The film ends with Ruby finally successfully getting into Berkeley and saying goodbye to her family.

love of love

There are two things I admire about Ruby. The first is her talent. Ruby was lucky enough to meet her and her Bole helped her train her to show her talent. Sweeping away, the soul has a feeling of fluttering, and it enters a state of flow . It is such a lucky and happy thing to be able to love something that you are fascinated by.

Ruby uses sign language to describe how she feels when she sings

Mr. V listens to Ruby's description of singing feelings is an admiring look

The grace of love

Ruby grew up in a deaf-mute family and was ridiculed and bullied by many people around her since she was a child, so she has a bit of inferiority in her personality. Although she joined the singing club with the boy she had a crush on, she was afraid to sing in front of people. In the first class, she needed to sing in front of everyone. When she chose to run away, she explained that the fear of being laughed at by other classmates was part of the fear of finding out that I could not sing well. In fact, there are many times when we are afraid to try something because we are afraid that we have done it but still can’t do it well. Or we don't have the talent but we just need the courage to build a growth mindset. Don't be afraid to face failure, but see every attempt as an opportunity to improve and expand your boundaries.

Mr. V loves music and knows how to guide students. Once Ruby was practicing, he was always holding on to his inner self and true feelings. Mr. V told Ruby in an almost wild way of teaching.

Make the ugliest, grossest sound you can.

The real you is actually the most charming and infectious music and so is life

Love We are a family

The Ruby family is so loving. Dad loves mom and thinks mom is so attractive. Once Ruby brought the boy Miles she liked home to practice singing together. Ruby's parents didn't know that they had passionate love at home. Mom sat down with Ruby and the two of them to discuss sex education and told them they had to use condoms and Dad's sign language was really lively and lively to be able to discuss sex and sex education with a teenage child in such a generous and natural way cool

Ruby has always felt inferior to her own home and family because her classmates always make fun of her, but Miles is really envious of her family. A family with laughter and love for each other is a beauty that Miles longs for and cannot reach.

The family that is always working together is actually on the other hand a hindrance to Ruby's development. Deep down, she is actually afraid of leaving her family. Her family needs her to do simultaneous interpreting. She actually needs her family. Never tried not to do things with my family” I think many kids who are leaving home for the first time have this fear

When Ruby said that she was going to give up her musical dream and stay to help the family's fishing business, her brother was very angry, and her mother said that her brother felt isolated, but in fact, her brother felt that she couldn't handle the family because she knew that her sister could sing very well. burdened (because of being deaf) feel very guilty and angry with themselves

love love

Ruby and Miles have very different family personalities, but it's this difference that attracts each other. Miles likes Ruby's bravery. Ruby likes Miles' restraint and calmness. Pressure from all sides makes Ruby on the verge of collapse. When Miles went out to his secret base, we jumped, swim and play together. At that moment, Ruby stopped thinking about all the troubles and pressures in reality. The two of them had a very good day.

Different Deafness and Cognition

A normal kid who loves music and plans to leave home for music school A deaf family in a small fishing town who doesn't understand what music is Ruby told her mother that when she joined the singing club, her mother's response was "Would you choose to paint if I were blind?" When Ruby told her family that she wanted to take Berkeley, her mother's response was that the family business needed her to have a mother The clip of expressing my worries to my father I think is very real. Parents, especially mothers, always have a posture of protecting their cubs when their children grow up. On the one hand, they worry about what to do if their children fail and get hurt. On the one hand, there is no way to accept the child's departure from my own wings, but my father is right

Our baye's gone! (our baby just left)

There's a paragraph where Ruby asks mom

Do you ever wish I was deaf?

Mom candidly says she actually wanted Ruby to be deaf when she was born because she was worried they wouldn't kiss

I thought I would fail you. That being deaf would make me a bad mom.

I'm actually very impressed with the honesty of my mom. She didn't lie to the child by saying that of course I want you to be healthy, but to tell the child that physical differences in how you feel and think are indeed challenges in intimacy. face it together, mom continued

But honestly, I'm glad that you know who you are.

But there's a love called I don't know what you're doing but I still support you the way I can

Ruby is going to perform on the music stage. My parents, my deaf mum, and my brother came to the scene together. During the whole process, they kept looking at the expressions and movements of the people around them. They also applauded when others stood up. The stage was bright but they couldn't understand what Ruby was singing. They knew this was going to happen, but they chose to come because they were a family and had to support the film in a way that they could. Ruby cut off her voice when she was singing. Let the audience experience the world of Ruby's family. This can be said to be a stroke of magic. After my father came back, I felt a little lonely. One of the scenes that I found very touching was when my father took the initiative to ask Ruby.

Can you sing it for me?

I can't hear it but still trying to understand it's an expression of love I think it's also important for Ruby because her dad wants to try to understand her love and dreams in a place he never understands and has a hard time understanding field

The next morning, Dad woke Ruby up, not to go fishing, but to the Berkeley entrance exam that the family was about to give up. Ruby's entrance exam can be said to be the highlight of the whole film. Mr. r came to accompany the family. Supporting Ruby in the second row and playing for the family in sign language Love is mutual and also builds a bridge to understand each other

In the end, Ruby was admitted to the Berkeley family as she wished to see off the scene. It really makes people feel deja vu. It reminds me of the scene when my parents sent me away to study. I cherish gathering and those who are willing to accompany and support you.
