Sound of Metal


 Really enjoyed this move (saw this on 3/25/21).

1) the sounds in the beginning of this movie gave me tinnitus!
2) what a moving personal movie about dealing with loss of hearing (not sure if it is based on a true story but it feels very intimate and the director and writer shares the same last name) 
3) Riz Ahmed and his counsellor, Paul Raci, deserves the Oscar nominations
4) the sound engineers (or is it foley artists) created a cacophony of sounds that hints at what a person who’s had hearing loss hears is pretty enlightening...
Watch it if you can.

Thank you, San Francisco Public Library!! 

It took about six months of waiting but we finally got to watch this movie last weekend...

An entirely (prob only a handful of Caucasian actors) Asian cast... and to see this awesome actor (actress) Tsai Chin in her 80’s being the lead thrilled me to no end... and at that age, she actually gives no f***s anymore... 

Thoroughly enjoyable movie... more please! #RespectYourElders #LuckyGrandma
