Multiple award winning for a reason.

About her past, it’s nothing solicited or dangerous, or even scandalous, but kind of sad and heart-wrenching, and a little realistic in a way as well, but well that’s what I think. Once he learns of her past, he kind of understands, but is frustrated still by all of what has led up to it all and just wants to be done with the piano. Then later on when he finds out one more thing, then he gets this realization about it all, and wants to do the piano again, but for another reason.

This is the 2nd time where sign language plays a major part in the whole thing, just like Hear Me, a Taiwanese movie, that I have watched. But this time, you just hear the son speak while he does the signing. But I wonder if the characters who had to do the signing still know it, or just had to memorize it all for the special.

One thing I dislike is that it was a drama special, but I don’t get what that is suppose to mean, because there were no previous clips for it, or afterward, and they should of just called it a movie. What I like about this was that it didn’t drag and just built up from the beginning and climaxed at the part where it needed it, and finished the whole thing up with a simple, fresh, relax kind of feeling at the end. Like a new beginning. Which I think is where “Heart Strings” were suppose to be, like that invisible thread that connects one person to another, but through our hearts and feelings and other things connected with that particular string, and it doesn’t go away, but a new one can be created to start it off on another path.

If you want some slice of life, as well, as learning to appreciate what you have, as well as just wanting something to do, but it might make you cry, then this is what you need to watch.
