"Goodbye Mr.Hollad": the difficulty of communicating between deaf and hearing impaired ...

... It 's very difficult Unfortunately, finding material relating to communication between deaf, but after much research I could find a movie. which appeared to me very interesting, which allows to analyze and discover the world of deaf people.

The film that I've been told to be very curious is " Mr. Holland's Opus", a film but not overtly dedicated to deafness awareness and realism that deals with the problems of a family that is upset by the birth of a child deaf and the difficulties of communication between deaf and hearing impaired.

This film is about the life of Glenn Holland, a musician and composer who begins to act as a teacher per guadagnarsi da vivere mentre nel tempo libero persegue il suo vero obiettivo: comporre una sinfonia che lo renderà famoso. Ma cosa ci può essere di più paradossale e inaspettato, nella vita di un musicista, che avere un figlio sordo?
Alcuni critici sostengono che "si apprezza maggiormente della pellicola la veridicità con la quale viene descritto il percorso di una famiglia con un bambino sordo: il primo impatto con lo specialista della medicina ufficiale che suggerisce la via oralista per favorire l'integrazione e il divieto esplicito ad assecondare i "gesti" del bambino. La sofferenza dei genitori nel non riuscire a comprendere la propria creatura. E quindi la via della lingua dei segni. Dapprima vista come un disperato tentativo, poi perseguita with tenacity and conviction, especially from her mother. "
The film manages to intrigue by comparing with skilful, the world of sounds with the world of the protagonist of his son's silence. These two worlds, that seems to never be able to meet, to the end of the film cross. when Glenn Holland will direct the institute at the concert for the deaf son a helping with lights and sign language. This incident put an end to misunderstandings and emotional communication between parent and child.
lyrics John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy", which Glenn will sing at the concert dedicated to his son, contains the verse " Life is what happens to us while we are committed to making other plans ", which is the summary of the film and is a metaphor for what happens to the protagonist: he believed that his destiny was to become famous composing symphonies and instead reaches its full realization without even realizing it, communicating the passion for music to his students.


any of you seen it? I'd love to, maybe because I was able to recover and watch the short, I can compare with you to hear your impressions ... ... ...
