What is the purpose of this film? How is the film effective or ineffective in achieving this purpose (be specific)? With what feeling are you left with and why?
The purpose of this shamelessly-adorable short film is to raise awareness of deaf people (in this film, specifically adolescents and young adults) and how they are just as human as people who can hear. (I hesitate to say this film extends to all physically conditioned people, seeing as this specifically is about deaf people. In theory, though, it could work).
The purpose was rather effective, because although there were some hints about the girl's hearing impediment (such as "not having a number), one would just assume she was listening to music. Even at the "big reveal," the message "you're still beautiful" really shows that the guy in the film sees this girl as an equal.
If you couldn't tell from my description of "Love Language," I thought that this film was cute and I was left with tender feelings. My mind just finds so many "aw" factors about the whole acceptance theme and unconditional love. This may be the human condition, I'm not sure. I haven't interacted with enough people to say for sure. I just know that thinking about the lives of those characters with their post-it note filled everything is cute to me.
