Sound of Metal2020

One of THE BEST character study films of all time. It’s magnificent how a character who had found “kingdom of god” in his metal music in the beginning and in the end finds “kingdom of god” in silence. Spiritually if we think, this film is supreme when it comes to that aspect, not only to people who lose their hearing but just PEOPLE in general. We are so worried about our lives that are swiftly moving but little do we realise the beauty in silence/stillness in this world. Just letting audience experience his struggle of going deaf through sound/hearing experiences was absolutely emotional and sad. Ending is spiritually spectacular. Riz Ahmed is phenomenal (Best actor contender) but I really want to mention Paul Raci as Joe. He was the best supporting actor in this. Some of the scenes with him were so memorable and I really want him to get nominated for best supporting actor.
