Listen to Your Heart

I know this movie may be stereotypical or cliché'... But it's a movie isn't it? Movies can be a variety of things from fantasy to real life portrayal. And I feel sad for those who did not think fondly of this movie because it's not about what or how the movie is done but the message and moral it is trying to demonstrate.

In regards to the deaf culture (someone else mentioned about ASL and the interpreter)... I am deaf, completely. The movie is not meant to share with the world about the deaf community, but rather the effort that the hearing world should try to understand. It's a matter of being objective than subjective to the world around us.

With regards to the movie and sign language... Keep in mind that Sign Language changes almost constantly depending on the location. An example is the sign for "restroom" which could mean "toilet" in one area while it means another in another area.

As for the interpreter - keep in mind that interpreters are meant to match the signing level of their clients, you don't want an advance interpreter signing for someone who just learned the language... It's like saying the word "Educational Institution" to a kindergarten rather than saying "school" ... you get the idea...

If only you can understand the meaning of the movie and try to put yourself into their emotions and feelings... you'll enjoy the movie.

What a wonderful story! Very touching story about true love and true friendship. The fact that the main characters are primarily unknown makes the story feel more real and you feel so connected to the characters. The music is also perfect! Very moving! He made the music for this movie and incorporated the songs into the story. My wife is deaf and I am hearing and this movie hits so many moments that I can relate to. This movie will always hold a special place for me. Don't want to give too much away. So watch this movie. It's a tear jerker. Actually watching it again right now which inspired me to write this review. Enjoy........

I Guess you made it! Probably don't remember me but I was the girl that watch your movie in time square and it rained my husband with me and we never saw the end. I'm glad you made it big! See romance never dies! Love is love.....It's all crazy but me and my husband David like to go downtown.so we live in Yonkers and we decided "what we would today" i don't know what to do, a little bit of this, go with the wind. I said to myself "there always something happening in the city. The city that never sleeps. Something always in city keeping you busying. Someone talk to or dancing. So I thank you good folks for making my night interesting. Without you my life would be dull.

As I watched this film it brings you closer to the characters and you go on a roller- coaster ride of emotions even as a man I cried,esp since my wife is going through cancer to so I can relate to some of the storyline.to the director actors and producer it was a very nice film.I esp liked the touch and affection that was showed toward Nicole who was deaf but how also how love can conquer all,if only people are linked together for the right reasons.another thing that touched me was the act of kindness shown to the guy on the street selling papers to make a living as that is what life is like in the real world I guess with the $500 he was given he bought himself a new suit.if only the girl had of got her man she over come obstacles for would it have been nice to see. But I guess that was not the object of the film overall as said previously a good watchful film.

I was looking for movies to watch and somehow stumbled upon this movie and I am glad that I did!! What an excellent movie...I experienced all emotions when watching it. It made me feel like nothing is impossible, that you have to fight for what you want and believe in and don't let anyone or anything get in your way!! It is a movie that I will definitely watch again and highly recommend!! I hope he produces another movie as incredible as this one was!! I was very sad with some of the parts of the movie but the way the writer wrote it, you were able to feel happiness right after your tears. The actors did an excellent job as well, its really hard to say anymore without there being spoilers so I guess all I can say is watch the movie, grab a box of Kleenex and live each and every day to the fullest!!!
