After stripping the language

Although there are no subtitles, I can understand it, but I feel like I'm just wearing the gimmick of deaf and dumb, and the content in it seems a little empty and poor. The director's expression is very novel, so all three points are given the form of expression. The director attempts to discuss the repression and violence of human nature in a calm tone. This is not the world of deaf-mute people, but the original appearance of the world, the original appearance of people, but when there is no language, there is only to face it. Everyone is used to hiding behind language and defending various behaviors. Without language, our world has become simple, direct and cruel. In the deaf-mute world, as long as you open your eyes, you will see the truth. When you didn't see it, the danger was everywhere, and you couldn't perceive it. So one gangster was run over by a truck when it was reversing. The last four gangsters were killed in their sleep but were unaware.
The director has always used a slow camera to tell us a thought-provoking story, but the slowness is a little bit tricky, but the real thing to express is submerged in it. The director tells the protagonist’s living environment from multiple perspectives, so he gave too many shots to the environment and the surrounding characters, and when he officially entered the protagonist, it seemed a bit abrupt, as if you were watching a movie originally. The documentary was suddenly turned into a feature film, which made the connection of the film not smooth enough, and also made the characterization a little messy, cut into pieces, and incomplete splicing together. The director’s problem is that his heart is too big and he wants to use too many expressions, but he loses his backbone, making the whole film unable to hold up, and making the protagonist’s final emotional outburst a bit top-heavy.
If this film is a sound film, it is definitely not exciting enough, or even a little bad. It is just an ordinary youth school violence film. So the director's most successful place is to express in the deaf-mute world, which is also the biggest charm of the film.
