-- a strange movie about the deaf
In Argentina there is a new movie about the deaf. It
is strange. The name of the film is Deaf. Yes, Deaf.
There are no interpreters. There are no voiceovers.
There is no plot. There is no script. And the deaf
actors perform without rehearsals. Why? The hearing
director wants to show the world that nothing is easy
for the deaf! Will this movie succeed with hearing
audiences? Good question!
-- a deaf Biggar
A deaf Biggar. Yes. Biggar? Emilie Biggar is a deaf
Australian woman. She and her hearing friend have been
cooking their winning recipes on the popular Australian
Food TV show - My Kitchen Rules. It is the same idea as
the show Chopped shown in USA. And if they continue to
win, the reward is $100,000 in Australian dollars. Her
specialty is sweets (cakes, pies, cookies, pastries).
-- a famous deaf person is absent-minded
A famous deaf person already won the 2015 Most Absent-Minded
Award even though 2015 has just started! This
absent-minded person is football player Derrick Coleman.
He showed his Super Bowl ring to people around him.
And when he returned to his rental car, he put the
ring on the car seat instead of putting it in his
pocket. He returned the rental car but forgot all
about that ring! Lucky for him that the next person
who rented the same car was a football agent. He
recognized the ring and had it returned to Derrick!
He and the agent didn't know each other personally.
