    It's a bit verbose. There is no passion for rock and roll, but it is a story of self-acceptance by people who have lost their hearing. Resistance, compromise, last fight, learn to give up, and accept yourself. The overall is relatively mediocre, and the depiction of the life and psychology of the deaf group is still new, and the conversion of sound and silent control also adds a bit of fun. (I don’t know why I want to give four stars. Maybe the actor has a better sense of...

    A story similar to the "Knight", the drummer's self-salvation after deafness, struggling to return to normal, but after installing a cochlear implant, he found that he could no longer go back, accepted the silent world, and accepted the calm heart. The sound design is very good. You can switch the viewpoint instantly through the sound effect. The language of the lens is simple and efficient. The ending is probably the so-called silence is better than the sound, leaving the audience's heart...

    Fine portraits of characters, the brushstrokes are always low. The neat play made people lose the desire to ask questions for a while, but at the end it ushered in unexpected freedom. The role of the deaf is frequently substituted, and the sound effect is switched to simulate a loop: Isolate the external sound, chaos or hum, and then return to the stereo surround sound field, repeatedly reviewing a certain loss and recovering. However, hearing barriers are not the essence, but emotional...

    The male protagonist's eyes that can tell stories are really catching people. He has been paying attention to him from the time of Venom, and has been waiting for the resources of this masterpiece. I have to say that Ritz played really well, that kind of pain, torture, confrontation and anxiety, and finally settle down, let the audience experience the ups and downs of life along with his situation. Such an experience is not contemporary Beethoven. . So, love will disappear right? The wake up at...

    Halfway through watching, I think it's still the kind of very routine American independent trauma film shooting method. I didn't expect to get better after going to France in the third act. Whether it is the party singing scene or the final ending, it will be handled. Very pleasantly surprised. Needless to say, the subjective sound design that simulates the hearing impaired is naturally good, and the photography is also very...

    I can’t keep up with the idea of ​​the film... When the lead actor went to the mutual aid group, I thought to myself that his rock youth must not be able to live this Puritan life. It’s not that there is something wrong with this kind of religious mutual aid group itself. But the temperament conflict between the two is too great to be reconciled. So I guess the protagonist will run away in about 10 minutes and continue to film his entanglement with rock and roll. As a result, the film was shot...

    Inexplicably bidding for "If the Voice Doesn't Remember", which was made by the same voice in the theater this week, is probably a big joke in front of the film. The drummer who has lost his hearing is as if his soul has been taken away, so he starts to touch and learn the world with new organs again. Manic venting and self-abandonment are like endless darkness; then gradually accepting changes as a gift and finally being able to let go. Ruben's mental journey has been carefully figured out,...

    The performance is very delicate and one person provokes the main beam. It is not pretentious or sensational. There is almost no music component. You may be disappointed in the music. Another (actual consideration) small western bands have an accident to raise tens of thousands of dollars online. There are no guitarists, legless drummers, and semi-deaf drummers. Why should they give up music? Do you play drums for women's tickets or for music? Posters and film titles shouldn’t be...

    It is said that the process of adaptation after deafness may be more difficult than detoxification, because it is impossible to return to the original state of hearing, especially for people who engage in...

    In fact, the whole movie is a Hollywood template biopic with conflicts deleted. It is misfortune-refusing to accept-gradually accepting-actively accepting is very Hollywood, but the film style is completely different, which also causes many audiences to feel that the film is too slow. The content is too long, but accepting facts in life will never be too dramatic. This movie is very realistic. Life is a process of gradually being forced to accept facts. Although learning to accept is easy to...

After that, I lost everything else. My wife, my kid. Not because of being deaf, mind you, Ruben. It was the beer.
