There is love enjoying music and music, and then being able to taste the sound and see color in sound. How is that Paul MascalLionel experiences music. This is more than just music for him, and when he gets Josh O’ConerIn 1917, David’s David at the Boston Music Conservator heard David singing a Gathagit that he used to sing back to his farm in Kentaki, both automatically make a bond through music that lasts for his lifetime. Oliver Harmanas, History of sound Tells the story of Lionel and David Understanding the power of sound and music and how it shapes our feelings. Spread over many years, Harmanas revealed a deep romance between two men Those who find love with each other with folk songs and Gathagit of Rural Main.
Oliver Harmanas puts folk songs at the center of ‘The History of Sound’
One thing that became clear for me History of sound Is Oliver Harmanas’ folk songs and dedication to Gathagit. It is the star of the show and is present as the emotional anchor of the film. Every important moment comes on a heels before a folk song; This is how David and Lionel meet for the first time, how they bind, and this is finally the first love of Lionel. It is rare to highlight so many classic folk songs and Gathagit in this way History of sound Does. usually, When music plays a big role in the filmIt is modern or classical music, or music made by genius and servants, sung by well -known musicians with colorful past.
But History of sound Raises people’s music. Folk songs that pass from generation to generation, sung and written by people everyday. These songs are living culture, and they make the soul of the film. Among the scenes that are most emotional, in moments that are the most influential, a Gathagit is being sung or heard. It is music with its own history, intensely regional is still extremely universal. Harmanas does not use this music as a backdrop for the love story between David and Lionel just – It is an active partnerAnd because of this, it is very effective.
When you hear someone singing one of these songs, it is not impossible to feel deep spirit and heart. While those who play a classical church can find angelic, it does not have the same soul like “All of you come to fair and tender women.” Songs about heart breakLife lost, sorrow, and happiness; They are obtained from the most fundamental human emotions, and Without their appearance, the film would not be almost strong.
Paul Masckel and Josh O’Coner gave a standout performance
History of sound Mainly Paul Mascal and Josh O’Coner revolve around, with the heroes of the Mascal. Both actors have a stressful romantic chemistry It immediately reminds Heath Ledger And Jake Gyllenhaal In Human errorHowever, their romance is fully felt, and in those moments when they are together, two characters are honest and open with each other. Both Lionel and David can be too closed for the people around them, but with each other, it is different.
Connected
This only makes their scenes more compelling simultaneously. Mascles, especially, are esoteric as lionel. Sometimes he is difficult to read, his true feelings get deeply buried inside him, but his actions and his intentions speak loudly. He actively pursues O’Coner’s David, for which he is clearly for deep emotions. This is only later when we see the old version played by it Chris CooperThat we feel that the entire weight of his feelings has crashed. The film ends in a final scene with Cooper’s Lionel, which is now very large and a famous music figure, reminiscent of the past. This is the main attraction of the film that can have this effect only with the foundation of intensive scenes of Mascles and O’Coner.
‘The History of Sound’ is blind beautiful, but loses some of its speed
Traveling to the churches pushed to the sun in urban cities like Boston like Boston, from the rural Kentki to the forests of the main, History of sound Just looks beautiful, it also looks. Oliver Harmanas embraces the mood of each place, from the cool blue tones of Kentki winter to the hot summer days of Rome. Every frame of the film is rich in colorDivided by light and hues. However, all these places also serve as an obstacle to the story, as the film loses some of its speeds through the film.
Once Lionel goes out on his own, the film goes from the job to the job, leaving his farm behind in Kentki. The effect is clear; Without David in his life, he feels lost, still in love with a person who is out of contact with him. However, The segment of the film turns onAnd it often seemed that I was watching a biopic, just going through more movements than a story story.
This only happens when the story returns to folk music, and we return to the past, that the film again lands on the solid ground. Despite the middle part, History of sound Strong starts and is strong. The emotional culmination of events comes in the final act, which was bursting me in tears in the theater because we had listened to an old lionel about our past. Artistic combination of songs, romance and unique settingsOliver Harmanas offers a heartbreaking and emotional film that reminds us not only the permanent nature of love but also the power of sound and song.
