The broken solution

A large number of first-view audio-visual feelings were introduced, which made people very immersive, as if they were on the scene, watching the beginning of the incredible sudden deafness, his violent resistance ended in failure, and after experiencing a heartbreaking parting He gradually enters the friendly hearing-impaired community, and then he is desperate for love surgery, but finds that a normal life is already a luxury. The world is shrill and noisy, and the beautiful singing becomes harsh. In the end, it becomes unbearable. The cochlea began to take the initiative to accept absolute peace. From the beginning to the end, I had no choice but to be shocked inside. I was worried, choked, and desperate with the character.

Suddenly realized that even just a "normal" body and life is a great gift.

The sudden incompleteness is too cruel, and the most difficult thing is how to accept a life that cannot be lost and regained. Not only listening, but life is full of all kinds of precious passing away. When the lost and recovered ideal cannot be realized, learning to make peace with yourself is the answer. Since you can no longer choose cheap happiness, then accept noble suffering.

Of course, I also know that it is far from being as simple as it sounds. After the light "acceptance" word, how many times have collapsed and asked "Why me and not others" and "Why am I so unfortunate." For those of us who have no faith, this question still seems difficult to answer, and the situation is also difficult to accept.

The film uses the hearing impaired community to answer such a question. The concept of the community is very interesting and universal. Dilemmas are always and everywhere. Don't treat loss as a defect, but as a new experience at different stages of life.

Pushing it all over the world, perhaps, building a strong trust with the same beliefs, revolving around with ample collective friendship and support, and supplemented by the love and sensitivity to life that you have, will make it easier to break the situation.

    In the last scene, the image of Ruben stood, and he gradually reached a reconciliation with his heart in the attempt. When the moment comes when peace swallows up the hustle and bustle, all the worries in life can be left behind. This is a rather long process that requires venting, pauses, and perception with the heart. Riz Ahmed is fully into the role and deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. The sound effects allow the audience to immerse themselves in Reuben's world, which is a highlight, but it's just a bit of a waste of ears.

    A film about separation. After the great change, not only the person himself has to adapt, but everyone around him has to adapt, because the individual is not an isolated existence, and a change in one factor in the external environment will lead to a change in the ontology. The protagonist Rubin hopes to return to his pre-deaf state, but finally realizes that there is no hope of realizing it. At the end, he finally wakes up, hoping that he can get out of the past and return to Joe's community. The sound effects of the movie are very good, which perfectly fits the psychological feelings of the deaf, but unfortunately the plot is a little dull.
