[ pellicole -17] " The Secret Life of Words" is a 2005 film of the English director Isabel Coixet .
Being handicapped, I feel very close to this movie, because it deals with, among other things, the theme of the discomfort associated with the loss of psychomotor skills.
The stories tell of a journey into the soul of two people both upset about their existence: Hanna, ethnic rapes girl survived the former - Yugoslavia, is assumed by the head of an oil rig in the process of dismantling and where he met Joseph, burned because of an accident. Hanna lives alone, does not talk to anyone and is manic in the things he does. His days are obsessive, divided between the silent house and the textile factory where she works and her boss thinks she should do a month's vacation to come back smiling. Hanna spends this time on an oil rig, where he takes care of Joseph, for burns procuratesi temporarily blinded in an accident. The two are immersed in the pain of their memories to release fears carved into her eyes. So the immigrants are taciturn, working in a factory producing synthetic yarn of Ulster, during the recess accepts a binding-time position as a nurse. His patient is Joseph, an engineer was severely burned during an accident on an oil rig off the coast, and that there must remain hospitalized until he improves enough to become portable. On deck, semi - desert because the investigation still pending, have experienced the creative cook South American Simon, the old foreman resigned to a new destination and the utopian oceanographer Dimitri. But above all, slowly lower the guard of distrust towards the object of his care, Joseph, who has an invalid talkative and indiscreet man will prove to be simple and intuitive, able to decipher, his state of temporary blindness, blood and frozen offense of a deaf girl to their memories. Thin films and minimalist voice to those words that wander silently within us who is never without the courage to say: thoughts unexpressed, for an infinite time weigh like rocks, but he left a void at the same time inexplicable. Film on pain and burden of the past that each brings with it over time, their experiences, which sometimes becomes ominous and looming on our impairment, instead of looking to the future. Words that heal when they are true, the result of a genuine love and deep respect that comes from the desire of those faces and to know it for what it really is. Although it is very difficult to erase his own suffering, what it was, it has the opportunity to soothe an inescapable sense of guilt that trademark, such as high heat on the skin, others are victims of atrocious barbarism.
"Life segreta delle parole" è un film su come sopravvivere al passato, come superarlo e come condividerlo con il presente, sul dolore fatto del silenzio di chi sceglie di non sentire perché ha sentito e visto troppo. La scelta di custodire un dolore, di chiudersi alla vita per restare in vita, quasi di banalizzarla riducendola a schematismi, alla dura ritualità di un tempo scandito da pochi atti sempre uguali, una vita - nenia ripetuta come una cantilena, quanto più rassicurante del gettarsi a capofitto nel mare, nelle onde dell'esistenza. Questo film è una discesa nell’inferno di due persone disperate che legano le loro anime, le loro sofferenze, le loro vite desolate in un "non luogo" come è quello di una piattaforma petrolifera in the North Sea. Among them grows a strange intimacy, a bond that may not come out unharmed and that will change their lives forever. The words are those unspoken until the atmosphere around the film's characters end up breaking the barriers that kept hidden the past, leaving it as aferma Joseph, also the possibility of "crying so much that the tears become a sea in which all end up drowning.
