When the audience loses trust in the characters themselves, the movie loses its meaning

The director seems to have only one chance to make a movie in his life, forcibly stuffing all the reversals that can be used on his laptop into one movie. What the audience needs, however, is an unexpected but self-justifying inversion. Because of the lack of foreshadowing (the protagonist's self-training to play the blind man is barely explained), and the amount of detail that can't stand up to scrutiny, the characters' reactions in those extreme situations are so unreasonable that the audience has a hard time believing them. When the audience loses trust in the characters themselves, the movie loses its meaning.

Seven years ago, my evaluation of the short film version of "The Tuner" was: "There are many details that a two-hour film can't take care of, but this 13-minute short film explains them one by one. The music is slow, every second is so long .” Obviously, the Indians did a far cry from the original in this film, so far that even if it is not compared with the original, it fails to meet the requirements of a normal film for narrative logic.
