NOTES |
A young boy
has become deaf after having meningitis. At first he is angry
especially with his new stepfather. |
|
Then an
orangutan comes into his life (it literally fell or was |
|
thrown off
the back of a truck). The orangutan becomes his |
|
new friend
and they communicate using sign language. |
|
Now is that
American sign language or Orangutan sign |
|
language.
Clint Eastwood has a lot to answer for. |
|
Sean Gerlis
who plays the boy is deaf himself and I'm |
|
recommending
the film for that reason. |
