Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky. The white hair floats on the green water, and the anthurium moves the clear waves. Yes, the appearance of a large white goose in The Secret Life of Words seems to be the pivotal turning point of the film. Before it, director Cosette showed us the language of silence with almost absolute silence on the phone. Every move of the female worker Hannah, she is immersed in the world of things, the half-apple repeated lunch box, the clean and neat personal space, the tactile soap that is made into the organization. No one will think she is strange except for people, although it is impossible to be noticed between opening and closing, and attracting attention, because everyone will open and close. But in this, if there is a stretch, if there is a little concern, it will make the union and the boss realize unnaturally. Silence is also a protest. The psychiatrist said, although you didn't say it, but the phone rang, I knew it was you through silence. But the big white goose sings loudly, whether its voice is enough to tell a story, and the boundary of language means the boundary of its world. As a viewer, I don't know it through its voice, but through it I know the people around it. After reading "The Secret Life of Words", we don't know what to say. This is by no means a minority and is an important issue in itself. More complicated than paying attention to what you said is what you didn't say and why did you choose Be silent about life. The big white goose obviously can't speak, but it sings, it always sings, it reminds you that you have the ability to listen. Or maybe it can speak freely because there is no silent object in front of it. Because the objects that prevent us from speaking are everywhere, we can only be silent or meditate. Talk to your inner self, and lift up another self. Maybe at this time, I can penetrate the barriers of different languages ​​and understand that the big white goose is not singing to me: the brother on the opposite side, look over here, look over here, the white goose here is very cute. No, it wants to sing because it wants to hear its own voice. Everyone on the offshore oil rig seems to have something on their mind, and everyone seems to have their own way of language. In order to prevent the new tower of Babel from being built, people can't communicate with each other, and language seems to be the way of life. The first barrier. Blind Joseph is hardly another big white goose. The two objects that might silence him were not directly present, and it was natural for him to speak or not to speak. It was the ill-fated relationship with his friend's wife that caused the scars on his body. The trauma of life, one is hearing impairment can not hear but not speaking, the other is visual impairment can speak but do not want to hear. Cosette can always use the simple life of the public laundry room to make all situations have a chemical reaction like washing powder. One is Langyuan Xianpa, the other is Meiyuwu flaw. If it is said that there is no magical fate, I will meet him in this life again; One is in vain, and the other is careless. One is the moon in the water and the other is the flower in the mirror. Imagine how many tears can be in your eyes, how can you stop autumn to winter and spring to summer! Fate is a strange existence, neither completely willing nor completely unwilling, just right neither sooner nor too late. Hannah, who is only willing to communicate with things, happens to meet a mobile phone with voice messages and a man who is a patient and can't see. No matter how independent the big white goose is in spirit, the feelings are always looking for a kind of attachment and a kind of destination. Although language can be used to find oneself, as language itself, it finds itself by finding others. So when this secret was heard, Hannah hesitated, nothing more than that every Joseph would come or not.
