this be one of the first movie i buy for my vhs collection and would like to see it bring out in dvd with additional commentary . a story of one man isolation from others by the fact of be a deaf mute individual with apparently only one true friend ( another deaf mute whom he love like a brother ) . in spite of this physical disability he become an important part of all the other character involve by be a confidant and sound board for their life . his patience and quiet concern and attention allow them to sort through their own motif and problem and come to an understanding of them . unfortunately because of this disability he remain isolated from be able to take comfort from them when he need it most . the heart of the story . to be able to give so much and yet still be deny the love and understanding of the very people you have help so much . in that respect many of u be lonely hunter . a wonderful and introspective movie about feeling and motivation . view it if you can .
