those silent. . .

She liked this movie so much until the moment before she spoke about her early life, because there was no deliberate accusation, whether it was war or barbarism, it just made me understand in my heart - on the drilling platform in the deep sea, life A few people, a chef cooks dishes from different countries every day, and plays music records of that country while cooking; a scientist measures the number of times the waves hit the platform every day, and collects green clams for environmental protection research that may never be heard; two A man with a wife and children, under the breezy starry sky, smiles and kisses inexplicably; a man brings a goose to the platform to add fun, but he chooses to die; his wife reads "Portuguese nuns" Love Letter", and thus fell in love with the man who lent her the book; the man who lent her the book burned his body in the blowout and temporarily lost sight of the world; an exotic woman who had to wear a hearing aid to hear other people's speech clearly, Each meal only eats white rice, fried chicken and half an apple, taciturn and unsmiling, to be the carer of this burnt man. Originally, this gave me a lot of imagination. The past of these people, the painful and the watchful, let them live in the middle of this ocean, taste loneliness, long for love, hesitate and stop. But when the foreign woman began to cry and tell her past, this spiritual story immediately became a movie that promoted humanitarianism and anti-warism. Even though it has achieved its effect, I still like the previous silence.

The Secret Life of Words quotes

  • Josef: I thought um, you and I, maybe we could go away somewhere. Together. One of these days. Today. Right now. Come with me.

    Hanna: No, I don't think that's going to be possible.

    Josef: Why not?

    Hanna: Um, because I think that if we go away to someplace together, I'm afraid that, ah, one day, maybe not today, maybe, maybe not tomorrow either, but one day suddenly, I may begin to cry and cry so very much that nothing or nobody can stop me and the tears will fill the room and I won't be able to breath and I will pull you down with me and we'll both drown.

    Josef: I'll learn how to swim, Hanna. I swear, I'll learn how to swim.

  • Inge: Before the holocaust, Adolf Hitler called all of his collaborators together and in order to convince them that he could get away with his plan he asked them who remembers the extermination of the Armenians? That's what he said. Thirty years later nobody remembered the million Armenians exterminated in the cruelest possible way.
