this movie moved me in such a way i cannot explain

birdman???

Being in the characters Joe's position, you know how painful this decision and conversation stung. In a sense Joe failed Ruben even though Ruben showed great progress and even connected with other people on a deeper level. Joe had to let go of a friend that didn't want to be helped anymore.

I don’t think I could survive losing my hearing like that. I have relied on my hearing way too much. It’s how I’ve survived. I don’t think I could even sleep. I would go mad in complete silence.

Incredible performances by both actors

Man this is bullshit, just saw another, newer interstellar/outer wilds/sun station vid from someone else that actually did blow up. To be fair, they went a bit extra fancy and spliced in clips from Interstellar, but still... such a bummer yours got overlooked. :\

That stillness he’s talking about is achieved through meditation. Simply sitting with yourself and focusing on your breath, or the surrounding sounds and eventually it will come to you. Whenever you find yourself disappearing into your thoughts, refocus on your breath or the sounds. Try at least ten mins per day. One day something indescribable will start happening. Changed my life. ‘You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.’ Franz Kafka

I was born profoundly deaf and wore hearing aids since I was 2 years old. I was rejected by the Deaf society cos I preferred speech over sign language. I'm 32 years old now and I never resented the fact I was rejected by the Deaf culture. My belief is deafness IS a handicap, cos no one chose to be deaf. Deafness is a barrier to spoken language which is intrinsic to human society, its how hearing people form relationships and communities/culture etc. Since Deaf people are understandably disadvantaged in hearing cultures, they naturally formed their own with their own ideals, communities and identities. The worst thing about Deaf culture is their own "class" system where culturally Deaf people think themselves superior to other deaf people that opted for hearing aids/implants and isolate them from their groups. My opinion of the people that consider themselves culturally Deaf have just given up, they'd rather isolate themselves within each other than face the struggles and rejections throughout hearing society. The Deaf society was supposed to be an organisation that helps people with any level of hearing loss and helps them seek treatment and management. Instead it has become a exclusive society riddled with purist ideologies that somehow makes hearing aid/cochlear users inferior to them.

I wear a cochlear implant and its the best thing I've done. It's opened up so many paths for me to take. Saying that I do like to spend time on the weekends without the hearing aids and just relax in the silence. Its a unique experience that hearing people will never have the opportunity to experience. Like this scene says, "Theres peace in the silence"

Entonces era una caja del señor de la noche? :v

this movie is very fkin good

Yes !

How they both didn’t win the Oscar that year is mind blowing

Butiful. Apenas vi el título pensé en compartirselo pero después me di cuenta que era su video xd

“…And that place, will never abandon you.”

This movie is very comforting when it comes to deafness. Ruben (and everyone truth to be told) had such a great time while staying at Joe's and could easily adapt to the deaf community. His denial of his problems however won't let him. And being deaf is clearly the least of Ruben's problems.

This scene was so heartbreaking. It crushed Joe to have to kick Ruben out but he would have been putting everyone's sobriety at risk to let him stay.

I can’t blame Joe. He gave Ruben shelter, a community, and a helping hand during a time of personal crisis. Ruben took advantage of his hospitality, went behind his back, and basically gave the finger to his community. Selfish, ungrateful behavior.

Wow - really nice work by Riz and Raci. Powerful scene - perfectly acted. Good stuff.

My God they both deserved to have won oscars for this scene alone. Shame on the academy.

Real real.

Riz Ahmed really carried this film through his incredible acting! He is one of the best working actors right now!! So glad he already won an Oscar!!

The fact Joe's character doesn't get the closure and he doesn't get the happy ending is just another reason why this film is incredible. Sound of Metal is a film about everything and nothing and how Ruben copes with that transition. But it's also a film about real things that happen to real people. Not everyone gets a happy ending. Strings get left loose. We never find out what happened to Joe, because we've been following things from Ruben's perspective the whole time. Just like real life, you don't get closure on everything.

A lot of people say the implants don't sound that bad

Such a sad, sad scene. Like, I understand Joe's hurt and feeling of absolute betrayal by Ruben, but Ruben feels like he was robbed of something. And wanted to get it back.

Lots of people seem to not get this scene. It's not simply that Joe is disappointed in Ruben's choice. His concern is that Ruben is acting like an addict. An addict can't find peace in being still and just inside their own body. At this stage, Ruben is trying to fill the hole in his life by chasing something impossible and fleeting. He will never be able to hear, in the same way that drugs will never satisfy. Ruben is willing to risk losing everything (specifically selling his rv, which he describes as his home) in order to chase some impossible vision of peace. This has parallels with an addict selling something precious to them or someone they love just for their next fix. The reason Joe has to ask him to leave is that he is acting like an addict, not because he had the surgery. Joe asked Ruben to sit in his study every morning to help him find peace in the silence. As someone who has struggled with addiction for a long time in various forms, this is one of the hardest things to do. Just sitting and being can feel agonising. I can't imagine what it must be like to be an addict who can't hear - to only have the sounds of your thoughts and your body and no other distractions. As Joe says, he is protecting the children from thinking that they can "fix" being deaf, and from thinking that being deaf is a flaw that should be corrected. Disabilities can carry with them a lot of shame, and to have a person living in a deaf community whilst doing everything they possibly can to not be deaf is definitely not ideal. But I think ultimately the reason Joe asked Ruben to leave was because Ruben was relapsing into an addict mentality. It was clearly an excruciatingly difficult decision for Joe, but ultimately, I think, a brave and powerful one. At the end of the film, Ruben finally finds something like peace in the silence of just being, even if it's only for a moment.

Masterpiece.

The most interesting thing about this video... is that I haven't watched the movie yet, so thank you for the spoiling video title I guess ? 😑

dialogue means something else when you have learnt about spirituality.

What a movie! This is what i call a movie. Which lingers around your head even after watching it.

Wow. I’m deaf and I’ve never heard or seen this movie before.. in 6 minutes I’m already tearing up..

Which one of them is deaf?

"I don't wanna explain myself rn", but he kept explaining his self cuz he felt that Joe helped him. What a line!

The most interesting part of this scene, is that if this was another film these two characters would be shouting each other heads off. Instead, they are calm because they both want to understand each other. So heartbreaking and so realistic.

Honestly, expected this to be a "This little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years" meme, cos that's how long it usually takes people to finally land on the sun station.

You can feel both hearts break. Just two people in one room. Great acting.

Paul Raci. Holy shit!

The art that inflicts here depicts how an act that is really beneath the surface of the parts of life revolves around us best one's to be said Riz Paul raci whole team ❤️

Making choices battling life ❤️

“If I disappear, who cares? Nobody cares, man seriously. Yo, that’s okay. That’s life. Okay?” Hits deep but everyone should know, there’s always someone who cares.

Very emotional scene,Paul Raci alone made me cry 😢 😭 💔 😪 😞 😔 👍‼️

This scene makes zero sense. He didn’t violate anything. He bought a hearing aid to try and improve his hearing. Anybody who disagrees or doesn’t approve of that is a downright scumbag and jealous prick
