The American-style fresh and healing positive energy god is a hearing girl . It is a very heart-warming movie. It explores a problem that all families face from the perspective of the disadvantaged group of the deaf and mute. Can you really put yourself in the shoes? The person you love" to think about the problem?

The story is about a deaf fishing family in which a high school girl is the only hearing person. She loves her music dream and was admitted to Berkeley University, but her family relies on fishing for a living, and a normal person with sound hearing is required to maintain normal operation. Therefore, the biggest contradiction in the whole play has arisen. Is it to give up his music dream for the survival of the whole family , or to pursue the dream bravely but the life of the beloved family members will not be guaranteed ?

It seems to be an ordinary story, but the special thing is that the deaf-mute parents and brother are doomed to be unable to understand the heroine's love and dream of music. They live in a silent world, separated from the music world by a transparent screen. But the silent wall, you can't have any idea about one thing you have never experienced, it is the dimensional wall of two worlds.

The whole movie has dialogue and bgm, so it is easy for us to put ourselves into the perspective of the heroine and think that the family should not hinder the heroine from chasing her dreams. Helping the family comes from her love for the family, but she You shouldn't have to sacrifice your life for it. Until the camera came to the heroine's graduation report performance, she sang and danced heartily on the stage, and the audience all stood up to sing and applaud her. I thought that the plot was here, and the next step should be to directly play Mom and Dad. She was infected on the spot, so she agreed to apply for Berkeley. Unexpectedly, the picture suddenly became silent at this moment, and all the sounds stopped abruptly, leaving only the exaggerated and inexplicable expressions of everyone after the " mute ", and the distant buzzing sound filled the whole head. It turned out that the director simulated it. The senses of the deaf people watching the performance at the moment, nothing, nothing, no singing, no applause, no cheers, can't feel a trace of the charm of the heroine's singing and the excitement of the scene, their world turned out to be so pale, so Single, so out of place, it's no wonder they can't understand why the heroine likes music so much and wants to leave home to chase her dream .

But after returning home, the heroine's father was thinking alone outside the door. He asked the heroine to sing another song for him. When he gently touched the side of the heroine's neck and face, which was shaken by the singing, he cried. Having changed his mind, he decided to support the heroine's brave pursuit of dreams.

What a difficult decision this is. The love of the family spans the two worlds of sound and silence. The father, who is silent in the world, understands his daughter's love and pursuit of music, and also makes the daughter who regards music as her life willing to give up her dream just for the sake of Let your family live a peaceful life.

The end of the movie is of course a happy ending. The deaf-mute family found a new way to get along with the local residents, and the daughter also embarked on the road of studying in Boston. It's so bland, but it has a powerful appeal, which is why this film won the Oscar for Best Picture. True love can penetrate everything, can make the most impossible possible, can make distant hearts stick together again, can make two people from two completely different worlds understand and understand each other, cause we are family.

    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.
