This short movie is about a man living somewhere
in what seems to be a part of Europe. He’s got his first apartment and started
to live alone. It was when he opened the window that he fell in love instantly
with a lady from the opposite side of the street. The man is in conflict with
the girl. What I think the climax of this movie is when the lady came into the café
where the man was drinking coffee and she sat next to him. It turned out that
she was actually blind, and started humming the song she would often hum before.
The man started to make a sound along her humming and at the very end of the
movie, her hand touched his.
There are so many symbols you can find in
this film. The light comes into the room when he he first opened the door
represents something new and promising. The white curtain from the lady’s room symbolizes
purity and 2 birds that constantly appeared in the movie are love birds. And of
course, him getting first apartment means the new world that awaits him.
Irony in this movie is when he found a man
coming out from her room to catch her at the balcony when he was enthusiastically
writing a love letter to her. He hit the bottom from the heaven at that moment.
Also, the title of this film contains the biggest irony. The lady, the very key
person of this film, is actually blind even though the title is “Love at first
sight”
Conclusively, I figured out that its theme
is “Not every important thing is visible”. Sometimes you just miss something
only because you cannot see it at the moment but if you be more careful and don’t
give up easily, you will eventually see it.
