"Listening Girl" includes too many elements such as family affection, love, friendship, teacher-student affection, the choice between dreams and reality, and has been explored and presented. The audio-visual content is very substantial, and it seems to be very full. But there are many confusions, and there are many places worthy of careful consideration. Ruby's mother didn't let Ruby wear headphones at home, didn't want Ruby to go to college, she didn't want to communicate with non-hearing-impaired people, and even told Ruby that she had prayed that Ruby was born with the same name as her. Hearing impaired. Oh my god, there are still mothers in the world who want their children to be hearing-impaired. That's extreme. Ruby's mother also explained why. She didn't want herself to let Ruby down, and she didn't want Ruby to not be close to her because of it. There is also a hidden line of mother in the film, the age of the hearing-impaired mother at Ruby, her relationship with her mother (should be a non-hearing-impaired person), and the bullying and neglect that her mother encountered during her growing up, such as her mother in the film. The roar of "Those whore with normal hearing don't want to be associated with me." The mother is insecure, the daughter is not deaf, she is destined to leave this deaf family when she grows up, the mother shows a stronger desire for control and possessiveness than other mothers . Whenever her daughter shows signs of being independent, she must stand up and remind her that your family is more important. As the eldest son in the family, the hearing-impaired elder brother shoulders the burden of sheltering the family from the wind and rain, but Ruby's existence naturally facilitates communication, and her parents naturally count on Ruby for everything. No presence. The older brother, who was also in his bloody youth, just made him feel useless because of his hearing impairment. Doesn't brother love Ruby? Love, blood ties, how can we not love, but love and hate are intertwined, it is resentment for the injustice of fate to myself, and resentment that my sister has to give up her dream for the sake of her family. Compared with other families who spend money to cultivate their children's musical talents, Ruby, who was born in a "small fishing village", is not only disabled, but also poor, which limits her imagination. Without any experience in music training, standing in front of Berkeley's examiners, even I felt doubts and dissatisfaction. Indeed, in the eyes of the examiner, musical abilities are mostly acquired through hard work and money, and Ruby grew up in a fisherman's family. Will she have the opportunity to work hard? There is no "where to work hard" vision. When taking the test, Ruby's nervousness not only came from the old clothes on her body, but also from the "impossible". The whole film comes down, there is a side of grievance and depression, and there is a side of warmth and healing. It's like when you can't help your nose sour, suddenly a sweet candy is stuck in your mouth. In front of the power of love, many grievances are not worth mentioning. The more simple and sincere feelings, the more touching people.
