It’s a great, very detailed movie. The inner portrayal of the heroes and heroines is very detailed and subtle, and it takes an unprecedented way, but for most of the audience, it is a boring and lengthy movie.
why? Because this is a film without a soundtrack, there are only active music and a few emotional pads (and so few that can be ignored). No soundtrack means that the film cannot use music to mobilize the audience’s emotions and shorten the relative view. Movie time cannot make the audience excited or disappointed through tunes. This is a lot for the production of a movie, but this is also its greatness!
From beginning to end, it uses sound to imply to the audience. Every point of the subjective and objective sound conversion has been carefully designed. The rich environmental sound dynamics and the subjective sound of the male protagonist after the deafness can actually be compared. It is so strong that the audience can feel the importance of sound to the film and to people in a calm manner, just like "Father Trapped in Time" uses exaggerated non-linear narrative to show the inner world of Alzheimer's patients. , "The Voice of Metal"'s rich use of sound elements also makes the able-bodied people feel the same with the hearing impaired, not sensational, but it is difficult to calm down for a long time.
At the end of the film, the actor removes his hearing aid. There is no sound left in the whole film, not even the air, but it ushered in the climax of the film. The actor’s face is special, peaceful and peaceful on the streets and roadsides of Paris. The skateboarding boy, everything is so peaceful, but for him, it is a kind of sorrow to the extreme. It is a big noise to actively choose to face a new life with nothing and extreme difficulties with his beloved one. Xisheng Elephant Invisible Impact Woo Woo
My praise for this film is from the perspective of a sound worker, it's so touching! You can use the sound so well! Almost completely replaced the function of traditional film soundtrack! And this is a sound-led film! It's so cool to be able to do such a movie, right?
In the end, Ruben is really the kind of male mother QAQ I like. It’s really sad to see them hugging each other and tell each other with tears, "You saved my life".
