"Beyond Silence"








"Some people commented that this is one of the best movies on the world"


Beyond Silence -


How deaf parents raised their daughter, and how they are interact and communicate with each other with silent love is one of the main theme in this movie. Story is about Lara, who is the eldest daughter of couples that cannot hear or speak, in the beginning of the movie; you can see how Lara’s parents depend on Lara on translating the sign language into verbal understandable language. And how their family lives in peace and harmony, but still has some problem with the society. For example, Lara’s father always has quarrel with his own sister, who is a good clarinet musician, and the cause can track back to when they was still as child. However, Lara herself also facing the puberty rebel with her father, because her father won’t let her to learn music from her aunt, because it is like bringing the shadow of his sister to him. However, the struggling of balance between Lara’s father and her own music career is haunting Lara, but luckily she also have an understanding mother who supports her. This movie is very touching; you can feel the love, care, and tenderness through out unspoken language. I especially like the part when Lara’s father asked her what all the things sound like. Like” what is the sound of snow?”, “what is the sound of thunder?” What is the sound of sunset?, and so on. I often ask myself, yea, what is it sounds like? What is the sound of love?

There are a lot of unspoken love that often ignore by us, maybe your beloved one still care about you so much like he used to be, maybe he just does it silently. Through this movie we can perceive love without the form of the language, how they spoken silently and touching our soul. I really recommend to watching this movie, not only this is one of the famous movies that won a lot of positive feedbacks and of course awards from many institutions but also worthwhile for you to understand love without voice.
