Hear Me (2024)

Somos todos iguais.

This film is very beautiful and reflects life's reality. Being mute or deaf is not a disability, but rather a characteristic we are born with. Having this trait doesn't prevent us from achieving our dreams, because we can achieve them with our confidence. It doesn't matter what you have, but rather the confidence you have.
Being deaf or mute does not make one inferior or different from other people, because we are all equal. I liked your work; for the director who made this film, it was good work, and the actors did a great job.
You should be proud of yourself. I hope this film wins an award, because it deserves it; it's a fantastic film. And many people who don't know the value of people with this characteristic would learn and reflect. Thank you for your work.

Feel-good romance lacks distinctive voice and a real heart

I don't have much to say about this film except that it's cute, adorable and wholesome. Conversations are mostly backed up with whimsical music. I don't have a problem with this as the dialogues felt authentic and genuine at first. However, by the time we arrived in the second half the story became dragged and lacked the specifities I was hoping for.

The shots and cinematography could have been more creative to make it memorable. The story does not try to be groundbreaking either. This is just supposed to be a feel-good movie although I would have loved if there were more touching moments to evoke emotions considering the story revolves around deaf people.

The story starts with Yong Jun unsure of what he wants to do in life. He's surrounded with philosophy books but he doesn't know what job to apply for. By the time we get to the end, nothing has changed. He's the main character but we didn't get to know much about his thoughts and background except that he instantly fell for Yeo Reum when he saw her in the swimming pool. This is the moment where the puppy love story starts to unfold. The film also noticeably shifts it focus to Yeo Reum's point of view after this part. More or less, Yeo Reum is a more developed character than Yong Jun. We digged into Yeo Reum's background and personality but only to a certain extent and here is where my main issue lies. Her character lacks a distinctive voice and is not fleshed out as I want her to be.

The storyline is fairly simple and is quite the epitome of young love. Although, one would really expect that the film could have had more earnest and compelling scenes just to fully give us that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
