The best movie I've seen this year, "The Listening Girl", has love, friendship, family, and teacher-student relationship. What moved me the most was the most sincere and moving family in an imperfect family. There are many details in this movie, and the daughter's character is very brave. As the microphone of the whole family, when the family situation was leaked by her boyfriend, and everyone laughed at it, she dared to stand up to support her parents. When her dream and the family's livelihood conflicted, He also chose to stand on the side of his family. The other is the state of mind of the parents. Facing their daughter's music dream, parents are very reluctant to leave their children. On the one hand, it is out of love for the baby, and on the other hand, it is also out of their own worries. For many years, the fishing work has been relying on the daughter as an intermediary to negotiate, and the daughter leaves. After that, they can't imagine. I was also impressed by the conversation between mother and daughter. When her daughter was just born, the mother hoped that her daughter would be deaf and mute, because she was afraid that she would fail her daughter and become a burden to her in the future. She was a bad mother and an abnormal mother. There is also a section where the parents watch their daughter's performance from the perspective of deaf-mute people. There is no voice. They appreciate the daughter's singing through the state of the people around them, and judge the level of her singing. In the end, the family decided to let their daughter follow her music dream, they would do well in fishing, and her daughter could study without worries. Finally, I want to say that the voice of the heroine is really good! !

    Jackie Rossi: [signing] When you were born, at the hospital, they gave you a hearing test. And there you were, so tiny and sweet, with those electrodes all over you. And I... prayed that you would be deaf. When they told us that you were hearing, I felt... My heart sank.

    Ruby Rossi: [signing] Why?

    Jackie Rossi: [signing] I was worried that we wouldn't connect. Like me and my mom, we're not close. I thought I would fail you. That being deaf would make me a bad mom.
