Not Worth To Watch
22 November 2006
Honestly, the movie sucks. Although it shows great filming skills (i.e. technical details such as different angles, light, etc) and has great actors, the plot turned me off. The movie maker didn't really think about his audience and seems to vent too much of his anger there. Also, it lacks the moral values as the good guys suddenly decided to become bad in the end of the movie. Arthur unreasonably criticizes the oral deaf people and is too extreme in trying to kill one of their supporters to show that ASL is better than the spoken language which is really stupid and immature. He doesn't seem to want to accept that there are different kinds of deaf people using different communication methods and that there is nothing wrong for them to blend into the mainstream culture if that's what they want. He could have filmed about the ASL to emphasize it as part of the Deaf culture rather than criticize the spoken language and how "bad" the oral deaf people are. His movie is not very pleasant to watch for some Deaf signers either. Just that there's too much anger and no moral values, period.
