USA
2010
Starring; Alexia Rasmussen, Kent Moran, and Cybill Sheperd
The movie concept of a deaf person and a musician falling in love seems to be a recurring theme, though fewer and further between most of today's theme recurrences. This one was done fairly well, but mostly because of the deep love and life lessons that it presents. Listen to Your Heart was an awesome movie that was well worth it's time. It's a good drama, love, life, loss, and inspirationally eye opening movie. It seems like the budget might have been a little low, but then that makes part of a movie.
Danny and Ariana meet at the restaurant where Danny, the struggling musician, works. Though he captured Ariana's attention he does not at all impress her mother. Where they end up is another place altogether. Falling deeply in love is where this story begins. Living through some of life's hard trials and tragedies is the journey that Listen to Your Heart takes the viewers on.
All in all I was anticipating a sappy love story and it proved to be so much more then that; sure there is a sappy love story, but there is also the beauty and inspiration of a love painted tragedy and a story that will make us all think about enjoying the time that we have. Danny and Ariana are amazing characters for so many reasons. I really enjoyed this movie; I'll warn you though it could possibly have you both laughing and crying.

I really love this movie as a Deaf Cochlear implant recipient myself. I can empathize with Ariana. I have been there. I am over 40 years old and my mom still seems to worry whenever I have close friends.....
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting to me. I had thought of Ariana's mom as manipulative and controlling, but I was considering it from Danny's perspective not that of Ariana or her mom. Thank you for the perspective and for letting me know that it's not just me reading my own blog :)
