A youth song and dance + main melody + family carnival took the golden man, you say it's strange if you don't get sprayed.
That's right! Films of the type "Smart Listening" have always been unpopular with non-governmental film critics. The early "Big Fish", "The Hurt Locker" and the recent "La La Land" have all been sprayed.
In particular, the various "High School Musical" in the first half hour is a visual sense, which makes people wonder if it is the wrong set.
Is it only "Nowhere" and "Parasite" that reflect social reality and depict the dark side of human nature are called Oscars?
The reason for this is that the director himself is very clear. Forced to jump out and explain: "We have experienced too many unhappy things in the past year and a half, so why not have a family fun?"
But, I want to say that I can make a golden statue of "High School Musical", this! Even! Disaster! it is good! What? ! Just like egg fried rice, anyone can make it, and it is a master chef who can do it well.
I think the biggest success of "Hearing" is to create a two-sided world (like the theme song "Both Sides Now"), one is a music world with beautiful melodies, and the other is a silent world for the hearing impaired. Hearing-impaired stalks + singing and dancing are really refreshing, not vulgar but not conventional.
The heroine Ruby is someone who lives in these two worlds, and she completely brings the audience into these two worlds. Let's not talk about the world of "High School Musical". And the interpretation of the silent world is really awesome! The large paragraphs of sign language dialogues allow the audience to fully immerse the feeling of hearing impaired people. Even if there is no voice and no dialogue, it still makes people feel very lively. The Ruby family, the performances of several hearing-impaired actors are really wonderful, it is simply silent tension! (Compared to the French version, the American version is really played by a hearing-impaired person, and Dad won the best supporting actor), especially the Ruby duet During the performance, the sound stopped, it was so addicting! The two worlds merged at this moment, which is definitely a famous scene in the history of movie watching!
In addition, the whole film also comes with good music, bridges full of tears and laughter, natural and unpretentious performances, textbook-style conflicts and narratives... The little golden man deserves his name. (If the screenwriter insists on cheating, abortion, and the conflict of terminal illness, I will not hesitate to deduct two stars)
Of course, with the same main theme, this film has a much smaller impact than "Forrest Gump". After all, the narrative technique of Forrest Gump is quite gorgeous, and it will punch a hole in your heart. And "Smart Listening" is small and beautiful, it drags you into the double-sided world of both saides, immersing you in it, crying and laughing along with it.
ps. Every year, there are always people who feel injustice compared to the nominated film (which did not win the award) for the Oscar-winning film. That's true! Fairies fight~
Watching movies now, is it right?
