It is still a remarkable movie, and the story is not too novel, so I personally don't think there is a so-called sympathy score for the theme. One of the things I like about this story is that it's not about how a deaf person lives, but how a musician is going to live the rest of your life when you lose the ear that was most important to you. I think the casting of the male lead is also very good. It gives me a very strong sense of substitution. It really makes me believe that in reality, he is also a person who loves music and has such a personality. I also love several very decisive decisions in the movie. 1. Switch between the voice of the male protagonist and the normal world from time to time. Most of the time, you don't expect the switch to be in a hurry. It's this kind of sudden switch without preparation that really makes me feel the pain of the male protagonist. The kind of panic that you hear all the sounds, but suddenly you can't hear anything. 2. The director really cherishes the actor's lines. At the climax of the story, the very little dialogue between the man and the woman on the bed really moved me very, very much, but how many lines did they say in total? Many times you want to elevate your emotions, you don't need more moving lines and more realistic tears, the director dragged this dialogue for a long time, and many emotions are actually brewed by the audience themselves. A lot of times you need to stretch the time, let the audience put themselves into the character, let the audience feel the emotions they feel as one with the character. Movies are very subjective, and what the director wants to express is not necessarily what the audience can understand or feel emotional about. Sometimes I feel that the expression is not so clear, not so straightforward, but it makes it easier for the audience to put their own life and experience into the story.
But in my opinion I wouldn't say he's a perfect movie or story. By the end, I felt that the story had too much room for expansion. Although the movie is already 2 hours old, it makes me feel that I don't know enough about the other supporting characters that have appeared in the story, and I want to know more about the stories of how they get along. The story also ends. It just feels like I really want to know more about the lives of these characters. Although the ending is also very good, it just didn't make me feel very relieved. I felt that the story stopped in the middle of the story, which made me very uncomfortable.
