The Night Listener evaluation action
2022-03-22 08:01
In the original novel of "The Night Listener", the author tells his own emotional story and the experience of being a DJ on a radio midnight show, interspersed with necessary story narration with delicate and moving brushwork. In the process of adapting the novel into a movie script, the sensitive content in the original work is completely preserved: same-sex emotions, child sexual abuse, trust and deception between people, etc., laying a solid social topic foundation for this low-cost film. So as to achieve a thought-provoking effect, reaching people's hearts. An independent film like "The Night Listener" with a small investment and a slightly biased story will not have a very exciting performance in the battle for the box office. However, the film, which contains many sensitive topics, has been well received by many audiences and film critics
