Can you hear a deaf DJ?
Movie: It's All Gone Pete Tong (2004) .
It’s All Gone Pete Tong is the “biography” of DJ Frankie Wilde, who "resides in his trophy villa in Ibiza with his trophy wife".
"The cosmic irony is that Wilde goes deaf (“years and years of noise was the basis of his problem,” explains one pundit, helpfully) and hits a Brian Wilson low, turning bearded bushman in a pillow-padded room on his estate, before slowly re-emerging — he learns to feel the beats with his feet — to a different version of his life. "
"Jack Stoddart: The first time I heard "Hear No Evil", I was like "whatever". But Max told me Frankie's story and the penny dropped. People love a good tragedy. People love handicaps, frankly. It gets them emotional. I'll get on that deaf train with a wheelchair ramp, no problem. First-class ticket, please. "
