The Golden Legacy (2003)
OK Film
While I agree with the previous reviewer that this movie isn't the Best, I do not understand his/her harsh criticism over the "oral deaf" issue. I did not see this perspective of the film at all. Perhaps personal bias got the better of that reviewer. I wasn't exactly raised culturally deaf--and though I use ASL now, I do sympathize with oral deaf people. I still did not feel like this movie was anti- As for my review, the movie is visually beautiful with some great shots of Boston. I had a problem with the acting as well as the storyline. The actors' signing looked so scripted, they didn't seem natural at all. In some scenes they actually looked like they were "waiting" on lines rather than paying attention to the scene or other characters. It felt as if you could actually see each "take". The storyline was a bit clichéd--but the filming and photography were lovely. The artistic direction was great--just need better actors and perhaps leave the director BEHIND the camera.
