When someone is waiting for you on the shore, you have to go ashore

The film begins with a deaf and mute black-haired female protagonist being adopted by a blond-looking happy family. As the audience slowly discovers that the black hair is neither deaf nor mute, the peace of the blond-haired family is gradually broken.
The blonde girl has been sexually assaulted by her father since she was a child. The father-daughter relationship formed by this sexual relationship is very contradictory to the daughter itself. On the one hand, she loves her father and confuses her father's love with the sexual relationship that her father added to her. She longs for her father's care. However, her father only said that her body is beautiful, so she has always cared about her figure. This kind of psychological excavation makes people admire the director's in-depth understanding. In some domestic forums, you can also see the existence of such "ghost fathers", and they will even show off complacently to encourage their daughters to study by means of sexual rewards.
On the other hand, she knew that this kind of relationship was abnormal, and she kept resisting this kind of sexual relationship.
The black-haired female protagonist has lost her mother since the age of seven. The deaf-mute father is all her life. In a single-parent family, the father-daughter relationship is close to each other. Therefore, the black-haired woman wants to understand her father and hides underwater and does not want to care. Everything around. When the people around think that the black hair is deaf and mute, they brazenly speak out their inner thoughts, revealing their worries and weaknesses, just like the male classmates in the film, naked and imagining the black hair nude. The black hair always thought that after the death of her parents, she was lonely, and she didn't need others or contact with others, until she discovered the inner entanglement and depression of the blonde heroine, which produced a certain degree of sympathy and sympathy.
What the mother did at the end of the film was nothing more than a self-salvation. As the film said, escape is sometimes safe. From the beginning, the mother knew what her husband did to her daughter, but only selectively accepted and ignored her husband was killed at the end of the film. She was not very shocked, but had a lot of relief. The title silence is not only the silence of the black hair, but also the silence of the blond family who seems to be happy. The daughter's silence to the father's brutality, the mother's silence to the husband, the father's silence to the daughter. All the silence was broken by a black hair pretending to be silent, and finally all appeared in writing. Sometimes you want to hide in the water to avoid others, but when someone is waiting for you on the shore, you have to choose to land.

    In fact, after watching, there are a lot of questions that I didn’t understand. Maybe the director and screenwriter didn’t understand it. Although this movie impressed me, but I don’t think she asked me to remember it. I don’t think this movie can bring me anything though. Finally rescued but also based on blood, lies and sacrifice

The Quiet quotes

  • Connor: [Talking to Dot] You know, I was thinking about you last night. I was thinking that if we went on a road trip, how quiet it would be.

    Connor: You know, we could go all the way through Long Island to Pennsylvania. You know, that's where they make Hershey's chocolate. Pennsylvania. And all the lamp posts look like Hershey's Kisses. They give you free M&M's at the factory.

    Connor: I can smell your hair. It smells like cucumbers. I got really, really hard last night. I had to beat off. And my mom was just outside of my room, putting the towels away. You know I could hear her, but I couldn't help myself.

    Connor: I mean, I came four times. I mean, four times, that isn't normal, is it? What am I gonna do? I'm this sex addict with a learning disorder who forgot how to play basketball.

    Dot: But being invisible isn't worth it in the end, because when you're invisible, other people may not see you, but you can't help seeing other people.
