A light rain fell outside the window, telling me that spring was coming towards me. Whenever it rains, my favorite thing to do is to listen to the rain and open an Italian movie, a time that makes me relax and comfortable, and it is this "Hearing Heaven" that opens today.
Why do you like to watch Italian movies on rainy days? Because Italian films always carry the power to warm people's hearts.
Different from Hollywood commercial blockbusters, Italian films have a strong Italian style, simple and romantic, delicate and healing in the expression of humanistic emotions, which is very suitable for calming down and slowly appreciating.
After watching the film, unsurprisingly, my tears were once again contributed to the film, so what made me cry, I think it may be the following reasons:
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1. Mick's sadness and despair after his blindness</h1>
If you give me three days of light, I'm willing to trade everything for it. --Helen Keller
Helen Keller's words deeply explain the importance of light to a person, and the protagonist in the film is blind in both eyes in an accident, and since then his eyes have only a vague look, compared to people who have been blind from birth, people like Mick who are halfway blind are more unacceptable, because after losing, they can better understand the meaning of existence.
"If God loved me, he wouldn't have blinded me" Mick said with an empty look in his eyes and a flat tone, as if to say, "It's a good day today," but only he himself understands how desperate he is, and maybe we will sympathize with him and feel sorry for him, but we can't really understand his pain, because all empathy is just watching the fire from the other side.
How sad it is for a blind child, a man whose future is already doomed in the eyes of others, and whose life seems to have come to an end at a glance.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2. My life is in my hands, Mick's progress and awakening</h1>
When God closes a door for you, a window is often opened for you.
Mick meets someone who has influenced him all his life at the blind school, and because of a sentence from Teacher Tang, Mick has regained the meaning of life.
"You have five senses, why use only one?" Teacher Tang's words can be described as a word to wake up the dreamer, for Mick who is in sadness and confusion, what he needs is not comfort and sympathy, but guidance, and Teacher Tang's appearance just gave him the way forward. He woke up, as the saying goes, "When God closes a door for you, he often opens a window for you." "The blind Mick had a unique talent for sound, so he expressed himself in his own way, and pushed history forward in his own way.
Watching a movie is not just looking at the plot, we should see the social environment in which the story is located, so that we can better understand the story of the film, dialogue with the director, and understand the true meaning of the film.
The film "Hearing Heaven" is set in Italy in the 1970s, when Italy was in the midst of social unrest. After the end of the Second World War, there were many parties in Italy, and by the 1970s, the support of the Italian Communist Party was rising, but it still did not have enough strength to form a government cabinet, so it united with other parties to form a new unstable coalition government, at the same time, strikes, demonstrations and other movements swept the country, and the whole country was in chaos. That's why Mick was able to meet another blind man in the workers' movement when he was sneaking out with his girlfriend.
Mick's progress and awakening also symbolize the progress and awakening of Italian society, the "Mick" in the film symbolizes social progress, "Teacher Tang" symbolizes those activists who promote social progress, "Principal" is a representative of pedantic and obsolete, and the downfall of the principal means that the bell of social progress has sounded.
With the strong support of Teacher Tang, Mick used his own efforts to perform a wonderful and unique sound feast for the parents, and he told all the people with his actions that there is no difference between blind people and ordinary people, they can also enter and exit the theater, and their future is more than one possibility.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3. Dreams and courage make Mick's flaws talent</h1>
There is no happier thing in the world than to strive for an ideal. - Socrates
Blindness allowed Mick to discover his talent for sound, he wanted to use his voice to tell himself, even after being criticized by the headmaster in person, he did not give up, but took the risk to continue his dream, he skipped class, he left school, and even led many classmates to the theater, that burst of laughter, maybe this is what Socrates said: the happiest thing in the world.
Their laughter makes me sad and happy, happy to be infected by their laughter, sad that I seem to have long forgotten what my dream is, on the road to growth, I have long lost my original dream, not to mention the courage to pursue my dream, thinking about it is very sad.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks:</h1>
What kind of movie can be called good? I think everyone has their own opinion, for me, a movie is not good or not, not what I see, but what I feel, what I learned, and this "Hearing Heaven" made me feel the power of dreams, learned how to find my own paradise.
