The perfect Silencio pas de deux can only be engraved with memories

Silencio

Ferrer, who sang with grandpa Ferrer and grandma omara, expressed his boundless love to omara with a subtle but thin singing voice, while omara responded with warm eyes to the

two old men who have experienced great changes in the era.

I think this is the most moving scene in the whole film. In 2005, Ferrer left the world.... In 2006, omara

came to Taiwan alone for a concert

At that time, I thought that this might be the last chance in my life to witness this Cuban national treasure actress. I

bought a ticket and entered the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall with a loud sound.

When the spotlight shone down and focused on omara... The prelude to the song silencio came out slowly... .The

whole place was quiet...time seemed to stand still,

there was only one person's love song and one person's performance

, and omara's eyes were looking at the other side of the stage, there seemed to be a person somewhere, there was a

person listening to her singing and responding to her

when she finished singing this song ......

Seriously, I don't know why I burst into tears...
(Maybe it's because the sound of the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall is so bad.)

Here are the pictures of their performance, and it's so moving to watch it a few times.

    The first time I saw a Cuban movie, I didn't know much about the band. Except for a few Cuban-style songs that attracted me, I didn't have any feeling for the characters and plot. It's a fan movie. - Film Archive

    Wenders is really good. The documentaries are all made like prose poems, and the touching points are not deliberately created but revealed in every note and between the lines of the lyrics. It turns out that Cubans are also playing cards on the street side tables!
