While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
好电影！！！这个电影让我立刻想要建了一个新的片单 然后命名曰：“What is love？/何为爱”
法国的《贝利叶一家》没看过。这部《健听女孩》是很棒的！节奏舒缓，简单自然。毫无观影压力，放松着就把故事讲完，不煽情却美好！这样的方式太难得了。音乐质量中等偏上，剧情不受音乐带动，导演超级自信且有能力讲好故事，音乐居然打了一次助攻，并没有反客为主。影片整体主线与女主，就好似弹力球在两根线中间，来回向上弹射，却并不执念，陷入繁杂。家庭打渔与个人歌唱皆点到为止，随后继续向前推进，左右弹射着，向最好的人生前进！
结局是我理想的家庭关系，把家人当作队友，也保持彼此独立，不要有count on someone的心态。Ruby太让人心疼了，是不是她有时也会希望自己是个聋哑人，这样就可以活得轻松一点。但又对爸爸妈妈哥哥恨不起来，每个人都有特别可爱的一面。
这次奥斯卡都被史皇抢了风头，都忘了本片是夺得最大奖。翻拍得不错，一切尽在预料之内，但又能感动人心。特别是四个情节：逗死人的那段父母床戏、母女的深夜对话、音乐会突然静音让全民体验聋哑的世界、最后试音时加上了手语的表达。我挺喜欢女主的闺蜜，大胆爱，估计她会上船，哈哈
没做功课，也没看过原版电影。看片名以为是主角是听障人士，开始看片才发现原来是个反向角色设置。学校演出那段突然进入听障人物的视角特别赞，无声胜有声的张力完全出来了，这点声音设计上比《金属之声》高明很多，同时迎合了一家人互相理解的剧情走向。后半段出现的那两次手语演唱片段都很打动人。
音乐遇上电影总是有点儿喧宾夺主，校园电影的主角总是那么灵气有天赋，爱情是成功路上的调味剂，原生家庭是未来憧憬的绊脚石。如果这部电影真的是奥斯卡今年的风向标，可能真的会失望吧，太保守了。
一种沧凉的安慰感。「所以我不研究善变、难懂的人类，要转去研究通透、明净的事物，用事物来忘却我。」
#94奥斯卡 Apple TV小成本翻拍电影大获成功. 贝利叶一家是2015年左右看的一部电影,很感人,以至于甚至想学那首法语歌. CODA在i18n方面做的很优秀，很有美国的特色。很多人吐槽这首歌的比赛歌曲不如那首法语歌，可对于我而言both sides now也是绝对的殿堂级经典。甚至说小时候就被both sides now专辑的封面吸引了，这首歌也契合了女主的心境。（合格的奥斯卡最佳，但是艺术性绝对不足！
虽理想化但还是一样动人，哪辈子才能体会过这么亲密的家庭关系啊
父亲抚摸女儿喉咙以震动来听歌，是有声世界和无声世界的连接；通过这个动作，他们真正的相互理解了对方的世界。多处泪目。
好有爱的家庭，和贝利叶一家一样好看。饰演露比的女孩看起来给人一种很舒服的感觉
照日深红暖见鱼
以为挺无聊的电影 但因为得了奥斯卡还是看一看 结果很不错很温馨
俯仰人间今古
特别喜欢这个故事，集合了很多我感兴趣的点！因硕论涉及植物谱录，也看了不少博物学古籍相关的论文，类似的历史原型我们其实也不少的。电影拍得极富古典意蕴，兄弟书信往来，千里共婵娟，明月照大江的场景特别美，想到苏轼，想到他一路被贬，也还是乐观通达地观察万物。丁若铨儒雅博学的士大夫形象，也像从古书中走出似的，师生互动很有趣。无力探索人心，研究世界运转的机理也不枉所学，那是灰色世界里如蓝鸟一般的希望，是生命力所在。
日啖鲷鱼三百条，不辞长作黑山人。好喜欢，好想看一部这样的黑白苏东坡。
今年是没有好电影了吗？一部翻拍电影竟然进了奥斯卡最佳影片提名
感动大哭，在当下这个混沌的时代，太需要这样一部充满爱与力量的影片，让我们重拾生活的信心。其实我们每个人都有一定的听力障碍，我们每个人身边也都有这样那样的桎梏，但只要内心还有那团火，未来总是充满希望，生活总会迎来和解。人物关系真实丰富，角色心理变化细腻流畅，每个配角也都在不多的戏份中呈现出了可供想象的人生故事。虽然总体上很老套，但真的很动人。
一开始想这个可能是想拍成韩国的《沉默》？叙事模式过于套路了，吃播、各种尬聊挑逗、精准踩点的黑白彩色切换升华主题。
我的天！悲剧中的奇迹！请你尊重，帮助，老弱病残孕！
