The deaf people in this movie do not seem to communicate like what normal deaf people do. Sign language. Relying on just 1-dimensional facial expressions, long drags of silence, sounds of the waves, we have to appreciate what is happening.
I was very shocked to find out the score of this movie was composed by Joe Hisaishi. This must have been one of his worst ever. Joe Hisaishi is better known for composing music scores for Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and the latest Howl's Moving Castle.
Sorry to film students who appreciate this movie. I seriously doze off several times throughout the movie. I have seen better foreign films such as Seven Samurai, City of God, Oldboy, Infernal Affairs, Taxi, Princess Blade, My Sassy Girl.
Mao points: 4/10
