Do you "see the cloud" from both sides?
This film brought tears to my underdeveloped lacrimal glands.
This is a family that makes a living by fishing at sea. The normal can no longer be normal. The daughter wakes up at 3 am to wake up the whole family. The eldest son is the labor force of the family and has strong muscles. Father and mother love each other, and control the family's broken but well-equipped fishing boat.
Really, it's not that ruby started to communicate with the family in sign language, this is a normal family with strife and harmony and beauty.
The director really didn't want to describe how miserable a family of four is, except for the youngest daughter, who are all deaf and mute. In fact, it is also realistic, because for the able-bodied people, it is normal to hear, but for the deaf and mute people. It's normal to not hear it.
And just because the youngest daughter can hear it, the family has taken the youngest daughter as a free interpreter as a matter of course since she was a child. It is a matter of course that I feel that my little girl should stay by my side for the rest of my life and become an interpreter for my family.
Therefore, when ruby left the family for the first time in her life to do something alone and used it as her future career, she also felt the strong resistance from the family for the first time, and the family did not want her daughter and interpreter to leave her. . Because they also know that their arrogance and pride will be crushed by normal society after leaving this hearing daughter.
"Mom, did you ever wish that I was deaf too?" "When you were born with electrodes all over your body and had a hearing test, I prayed in my heart that you would be deaf." This answer made me suffocate for a while.
"Because I'm worried that if we don't kiss, I, being deaf and dumb, will make me a bad mother," the mother continued, and I couldn't hold back my tears. God knows how much her mother, as a deaf-mute, is afraid that it is difficult for her to understand the world of her healthy daughter, and it is difficult for her to give her the love of the sound world.
The mother also communicated with the father, saying that she did not want her daughter to leave her. In fact, she just couldn't hear how good her daughter's singing was. She was afraid that her daughter would leave her for the first time to chase her dream and end up covered in scars. She would rather she be able to grow at home with protection. Is this not love, I think it is more of a kind of love.
The elder brother was the first to object. The elder brother felt that this kind of love that bound each other could not last forever. Ruby could not always be the youngest daughter in the family, and could not always be the interpreter in the family. And their family can't live in the world where ruby exists forever. Everyone has to change and look forward. Just like "catching fresh fish", if you don't change, you will never make money for a lifetime, and you will always work for others.
The family then came to listen to ruby's concert for the first time. The full 2 minutes of total silence here instantly pulls the audience into the quiet, terrifying world of ruby's parents. Dad looked around, watching the expressions of everyone he heard. Here, I couldn't hold back the tears. How much the father wanted to know about his daughter's audio world, so when he got home, he asked Ruby to sing to him again face to face, he looked at his mouth and touched his shoulders to feel the vibration. Not enough, louder, touch your lips and feel the vibration of your Adam's apple. It was as if the father heard his daughter's singing. hug and cry.
Father knew what to do. He wanted his daughter to boldly embrace her world and her dreams.
In the interview at Berkeley College, Ruby's both side now completely made my tear ducts burst.
I've looked at clouds that way,
I used to stare at the clouds like that,
Now they only block the sun,
But now they block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone,
Rain and snow on all things,
So many things I would have done,
There are many things I want to do,
But clouds got in my way,
But it was broken by the cloud,
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
I look at the clouds from the front and back,
From up and down and still somehow,
From above, from below,
It's clouds illusions I recall,
But I remember it was a cloud phantom after all,
I really don't know clouds at all,
I still don't understand cloud.
Parental love is sometimes a cloud.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
Tears, fear, pride said loudly,
To say I love you right out loud,
"I love you".
But you love me, I know, and I want you to know that I love you.
From the positive and negative side, ruby went to pursue the dream of music, and the family began to let the people around them accept them, and everything became better and better. Everyone is trapped by love, but they grow up because of love.
This is the most touching movie I have seen at the beginning of this year. It reminds me of "Miracle Boy" that I watched a few years ago.
Love is something that makes people feel incomprehensible.
But love is full of hope.
