I have a cousin who is profoundly deaf (i.e. zero % hearing) and has been since birth. Her and her deaf friends are the kindest and funniest people I have ever met. Such a totally different outlook to the rest of us… I can ‘speak’ reasonable AUSLAN because of her. But being told to ‘■■■■ off’ is universal in just about any language I reckon? ‘I’m dumb, not dumb!’: is another that still tickles me
One thing I learned is that deaf people and people with bad hearing don’t mix well.
Deaf persons have no idea how much noise they make, like rattling with cutlery. While the ones with bad hearing or hearing aids need it quiet so they can focus on a conversation.
To my disappointment, the version on D+ is the original theatrical release. In my opinion the Director’s Cut with the original ending is much more impactful, and I prefer it. So if you have that version on DVD, hold onto it.
It seems movies centered/set in an aquatic environment usually equals production hell. The infamous story behind the making of “Waterworld” is very well known
I only saw it at theatrical release a billion years ago…and again just one hour ago. It holds up beautifully until the last five minutes. The surfaced UTI was peak “meh” following nearly two hours of wow.
