The film, which tells the story of a deaf drummer in a heavy metal band, is not a movie for the weak.
The hero Ruben, who does not know who his biological father is, lived and grew up in different places with his mother, who was a medical nurse in the army, and was once addicted to drugs.
The heroine, Lou, was born in a wealthy family in Paris, but each unfortunate family has its own unfortunate misfortune. Her mother took her away from her father twice, making her lost and lost.
The two met to form a heavy metal band for four years, Ruben quit drug addiction for four years, and Xiao Lu was rescued from the edge of the abyss, but this is not the story that this film is about to tell.
The film begins after the two of them are on tour, and before another performance, the audience suddenly fell into a huge roar with Ruben, and the dialogues of the people around them all became blurred - Ruben had severe tinnitus, the doctor judged. He will soon lose all of his hearing.
The large section in the middle of the whole film does not focus on telling the story of Reuben and/or Xiao Lu to the audience, but aims to give the audience the greatest possibility to experience the process and experience of Reuben's deafness.
When Ruben was just deaf and was very resistant to the deaf group he was going to live with, all the sign language conversations had no subtitles, and the audience, together with Ruben, knew nothing about the meaning of sign language until Ruben gradually mastered sign language. , the subtitles begin to resurface.
In the end, Ruben still couldn't accept the belief that "deafness is not a disability" and that "it is not the ear but the heart that needs to be repaired", he refused the help of "silent prayer", smashed the pot and sold iron to collect money for a cochlear implant operation, and was expelled because of this. out of the shelter for the deaf.
When he activated the cochlear implant for the first time and heard the long-lost human voice and ambient sound being brought into the brain with strongly distorted electronic signals, we suddenly realized that the sound of metal is not only the sound of metal music, but also the sound of artificial intelligence. metallic sound.
People who are mentally weak may not be able to overcome the fear of deafness and follow the film to experience the process of a person's deafness, but for people with strong psychology, through the performance of the film, they can enter the experience of the hero to a large extent and try to understand a deaf person as much as possible. Experience is a different kind of experience.
it's his life
now or forever
Although he cannot live forever
But he will be alive
time to experience life
This film is not recommended for the general audience.
