Has anyone seen it? What do you think?
1: I think it's great that a Deaf actress (Millicent Simmonds) got to play a Deaf role!
2: I read that Millicent taught the other actors sign to better communicate with her. So it's not as if the hearing actors only learned the signs for the script. I think that's nice.
3: I've read they had ASL coaches and interpreters on set.
I haven't seen the movie myself, but was curious what other people thought. I am in an ASL Linguistics class right now, and my professor said the one line in the movie was signed wrong. "I have always loved you" should not be signed with ALWAYS but instead UP-TIL-NOW.
Anyway, what do you all think?
