At midnight, the night was dark but no one was quiet. In every lonely soul suffering alone at midnight, there is actually a desire to communicate with others and be noticed. And this story is about the experience of a radio dj specializing in storytelling in the night. The night listener.

Gabriel is a DJ of a late-night radio show. He always tells his own life experiences and other people's stories on the radio to share with the listeners in the middle of the night. Often in the middle of the night, the listeners who love his show are often also in their hearts. Lonely lonely soul. as same as him. And through the contribution of an audience, he was attracted and even had the idea of ​​​​exploring it up close.

On the famous IMDB website, the film has been marked with an R-rated movie label for crime, suspense, and thriller. In fact, in my personal opinion, I just feel more psychological suspense in it. The film is more about exploring how people's inner loneliness is manifested.

Gabriel's job is actually to listen to other people's inner feelings and pains, and use his voice to soothe those injured lonely souls. But he accumulates such negative emotions day after day, who can help him to resolve it? The bottleneck of work and the unhappiness in life made him almost on the verge of collapse. What he really needs is his own redemption.

As the saying goes: Give a person a rose, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hand. But when someone else took the rose, there were only thorns left on your hand. I am afraid that no matter how optimistic the soul is, it is inevitable to doubt the meaning of existence.

It must be mentioned that in this film, the precise interpretation of Robin Williams, the starring role, almost makes this one-man show full of humanistic thinking. The film was released ten years ago in 2006, which was also the busiest year of Robin's career, starring in many comedies he was good at, and later won the Oscar for Best Feature Animation in "Happy Feet". "In the joyful voice. But what is often unexpected is that the more excellent comedians are, the more sad and lonely he is in his heart. As we know Chaplin, or Zhou Xingchi. So does Robin Williams. So he lowered his worth and only received a nominal salary of tens of thousands of dollars, and then starred in a role that may be closer to his true heart in this small independent film "Midnight Audience": Gabriel.

The film is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name in the United States. In the creation of the script, the sensitive content of the original book is completely preserved: same-sex emotions, child abuse, trust and deception between people, etc., which also lays a solid foundation for the film. the basis of social topics. People are often
connected to many interesting news and news that can be seen on various media at any time while watching the film, so that the content of the film will more directly touch the hearts of the audience.

But as a suspense film, know the end of the film's story. In the end, there was no clear answer to the audience, which also caused many obsessive-compulsive disorder patients to feel on pins and needles. After all, the end of that paragraph is the follow-up to the whole incident? Or a flashback about the whole story? We still don't know. But when you think about it carefully, isn't a story that can make you often recall your taste, or even guess, the most successful real suspense?

Robin, one of America's finest comedians, was last heard of his tragic death by suicide and the release of Night at the Museum Episode 3. I have to let people sigh with regret at the news of his departure. I only wish there were more laughter in heaven and many happy memories in the world!

The Night Listener quotes

  • Gabriel Noone: Charles Dickens wrote Pete Logand was only 12 when his parents sent him to make boot polish in a factory by the docks. This screwed him up forever and made him a writer. I think we've all got a blacking factory, some terrible something that makes us lose our baby heart as surely as we lose our baby teeth.

  • Pap Noone: Just say goodbye to the little prick

    Darlie Noone: What? Little prick?

    Pap Noone: He can handle that.

    Gabriel Noone: I can handle big ones, actually.
