The beginning is full of details: the male protagonist who drinks healthy drinks but is disabled, and the self-destructive female protagonist with scratches on his arms finally returns to Bourgeois. Hidden conflict leads to a somewhat lengthy midsection: a seemingly loving, religious environment, but one that would be exiled if not disciplined. To borrow the words of the manager, this is determined by the environment, not by his own will. Stability trumps everything. This passage also echoes the last church bell that makes the male protagonist take off his hearing aid. This could of course be interpreted as the church bells making him accept himself, but it could also be interpreted as the sound of the church coming into his head as a badly distorted noise that he couldn't bear. The male protagonist with his Muslim appearance is sitting on the streets of Paris, and the latter seems to have more room for interpretation. The expected sound effects have been made, and it is obvious that the two changes are compared with the environmental sound of the rear of the car. However, the overall proportion is still slightly conservative, and I feel that it would be better if the proportion of hearing impaired effect was larger. Now, more special effects are added to the normal ambient sound, which is inconsistent with the lens logic. The most surprising thing about the sound effect is the bionic human-like current sound after the male protagonist activates the hearing aid. This reminds me of the issue of shelling: when does a human become a robot? The male protagonist who just added an intracranial hearing aid immediately faced the double crush of disability and class, and seemed to be unworthy of being a human being. What about modern people who have made their mobile phone an extension of themselves? Even to the extreme, isn't the drumstick that the male protagonist uses to play drums also an extension tool? Tools used to be an important reason for human beings to become the longest of all things, but now human beings are facing the fate of being alienated by tools in turn. From the heavy metal scene at the beginning, to the end, I took off the hearing aids with metal sound quality. Excessive interpretation may mean from the fascination with the sound of metal in the early industrial age to the vigilance of the sound of metal in the post-industrial age.
