Comments on the movie "Listening and Speaking"

For Zheng Fenfen's works, her "Long Holiday" left a deep impression on me. Both the lens language and the actors' performances exceeded the level of ordinary TV dramas at that time, and I appreciated it very much. Unfortunately, these flashes disappeared in her next life drama exhibition "Life Memorial Book". Until this "heard"

.

In Harry Potter, Tian Kuo (played by Eddie Peng Yuyan Yu Yan) is a sunny lunch boy. He met Yang Miao while offering lunch to an Olympic swimmer with hearing impairment. Yang Yang's sister Xiao Peng (Michelle Chen) is an Olympic swimmer with hearing impairment. In order to let the little sisters of the hearing-impaired players concentrate on practicing without worries, Yang Yang has a heavy burden on her shoulders. This kind of support for relatives moved Tiankuo, so he decided to pursue Miao. Besides helping her cook lunch, she also studied the only way to communicate with Yang Yang: sign language. Just as Yang Yang was moved by boundless enthusiasm and ready to accept him, a misunderstanding in communication and an accident with her sister and friends in a fire made the intersection between them less and less.

At the beginning of the film, the director introduced the appearances of Yang Miao, Tian Kuo and Xiao Peng in a lively tone. Eddie Peng Yuyan Swift's sunny and cheerful big boy's smiling face is very suitable for his personality and appearance, how to make people like it; Chen Yihan, who became an instant hit with Grand Theft Auto, also played the role of considerate and gentle sister, which was fully displayed.

People-friendly and kind audience; Another striking role is playing Michelle Chen in Xiao Peng. Her big eyes and melancholy expression are just right for playing Xiao Peng, a swimmer who is under great social pressure.

I like the part where Michelle Chen quarrels with Yang Yang in the room after he finds out that he has been expelled from the swimming team and can't take part in the competition. There was not a single line in the play, but the full drama tension filled the whole cinema. Fluent sign language and sincere feelings, the performances of the two actors are in place. Perhaps because there are no lines, the audience can concentrate on the expressions and movements of two people. A gesture, a look, conveys a lot of information. Even without dialogue, it is worthwhile to see that two people can communicate their thoughts and emotions as clearly as normal people through sign language.

When describing the attitude of "people with normal hearing" (that is, people who can generally hear) to "friends with hearing impairment", a clip in the movie is also quite wonderful. In order to earn the living expenses of the two sisters, Yang Yang worked as a street performer in the square in front of the department store. After work that day, Tiankuo went to find Miao for dinner. In order to thank Tiankuo for helping her cook a loving lunch before, Yang Yang promised to treat her to this dinner. When two people were about to leave after a meal in the noodle restaurant, Yang Yang poured out the copper coins earned in a day and paid for them one by one. Because of it.

His guests were waiting for seats at the door, and the sky was awkward. In order not to waste time, Tiankuo/Zawen took out a large bill to give the boss change, counted half of the rice seedlings, and had no choice but to take the money back to his bag.

Tiankuo's seemingly intimate behavior angered Miao Miao. Tiankuo argued that he was afraid of affecting the boss's business and making money, but Yang Yang replied, "You think I am slow to calculate a dollar, but have you ever thought that I waited all day just to make this money?" What does it matter if they wait? "

This scene completely hit my heart. Whenever we use "self-righteous" compassion to help friends with physical and mental disabilities, we ignore "putting ourselves in their shoes". If we want to help people who have no empathy, this so-called "sympathy" is the deepest sword that really hurts people with physical and mental disabilities. The vast blind area is also the blind area of ordinary people. The so-called "hypocrisy" is actually more lethal than absolute malice.

I heard that it is a romantic comedy with a rigorous and relaxed structure, but I heard that it was only filmed for a month. After shooting four or five life dramas under a low budget and tight shooting schedule, Zheng Fenfen seems to have mastered the good skills of quick shooting. It took less than five months from the pre-production to the filming of the last film, and the speed of Aauto Quicker was almost the same as that of Korean director Jin Jide. and

The quality is good. If every China film can be made at this speed in the future, there is absolutely no problem shooting 100 a year!

However, I heard that it is not a completely flawless work. Zheng Fenfen's achilles heel is that he likes to preach, and he preaches with words. This feature (lack) is fully demonstrated in Zheng Fenfen's first feature film Sleeping Youth. Whether it's text/copywriting that interferes with the audience's emotions or ripple effect such as editing special effects encyclopedia, it makes the audience feel spoofed by the director. Although the director stated that his creative philosophy was "I hope to present youth like a picture book". But if you want to be like a picture book, you should focus on art or photography. How do you add words to this picture? Tetsuya Nakashima's Magic Picture Book of Happiness, from the first act to the last act, is like opening a fairy tale book. I didn't see a word in the picture.

The same problem also appeared at the end of "Heard". If I insist on finding fault in Listening and Speaking, I will say that the "inspirational subtitles" at the end of the film are the biggest failure. Why not let the film stay in Tiankuo and Yang Yang to watch the game? Simply typing words not only destroys the picture, but also makes the audience familiar with Zheng Fenfen want to say, "Why come again?" !

However, some people say that every director is actually pursuing his own romance. Perhaps, typing on the screen is Zheng Fenfen's romance. The appearance of light-hearted romantic comedies such as "Heard" is superior to the nonsense comedies of "Love to the Last", without the heavy burden of ordinary Chinese films. The China film market, which made this year more serious and sad, has created a fresh style. Even though Dai Liren's "Can't live without you" has swept the word-of-mouth and film reviews of China films in recent years, the film "No" is much heavier for ordinary audiences, no matter from the proposition or social responsibility. But I heard that there is no such burden. Although it is tailor-made for the hearing-impaired Olympics, in fact, the level of industrial and commercial services has dropped to a minimum. Under the fresh interpretation of handsome guys and beautiful women, the special hearing-impaired theme, coupled with some clever answers, makes the audience look pleasing to the eye and can leave the theater with a smile. This is the biggest service purpose of the movie "Heard".
