Creepy Concept, Lackluster Story: A Movie Review of “Come Play”
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.
CODA
To be a CODA (child of deaf adult), “Tien-Sheng” learnt to express love through body language and eye contact without speech. He was the bridge to communicate with the outer world for his family since young. After his father’s passing, his daily routine was to accompany his mother to the morning market and translate throughout including those embarrassing topics for a teenager. However, with the passage of Tien-Sheng’s puberty, he discovered his hearing is deteriorating. With the upcoming dance competition, he chose to escape from reality and dare not to confront with his mother. Just like the gradual deterioration of hearing and his father’s memorial ceremony, the lost will never return in life but the footprints of memories will be left behind.
