I Want To Share The Amazing Movie That Is The Way He Looks

I want to share the amazing movie that is “the way he looks”

Leonardo is a blind teenager searching for independence. His everyday life, the relationship with his best friend, Giovana, and the way he sees the world change completely with the arrival of Gabriel.

if you need a supernatural horror fix with a stranger things vibe, you have to check out Paradise (Paraíso) on HBOMAX. it starts out as a missing/dead white girl mystery set in a small seaside town in Spain in 1992 and then we go increasingly supernatural at the end of the first episode and increasingly occult with each episode. even with all these elements, it's a pretty grounded story about the families and town's grief and inability to be able to do anything about the missing girls. i guzzled all 7 episodes over three nights (and an intractable migraine) and have been listening to the end credits song on repeat for almost a full week now.

dam…….. that website “you feel like shit” (it’s like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really works………………….. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better

How am I simultaneously thriving and crashing, like…. Mrs ma’am get it together.

omg deaf west legally blonde where Emmett is deaf and Elle is hearing,

• Elle’s is a CODA so she knows sign, and some of the delta nu girls are also deaf so they all know sign in the sorority,

•Whereas other characters like Warner and Callaghan don’t, but, the Greek chorus are a mix of deaf and hearing actors so they sign where other more ignorant characters don’t.

•Paulette is hearing, but the delivery guy is deaf (his name escapes me) and she wants Elle to teach her how to sign (aswell as how to bend and snap so she can pull him😩)

•but in this version she successfully bends and snaps, but when she’s signing asking him out she smacks him up the face by mistake bc she’s too enthusiastic and concentrating on not making a mistake.

•Brooke is also deaf and her voice is kinda of like how Thea and Melitta are in dwsa

•(Melitta does the vocals for Thea but her character was added as Theas twin sister rather than an invisible ‘voice’ she’s an actual character in the show who other characters interact with)

•Brooke’s voice is technically her interpreter rather than like an invisible character, so Callaghan is a dick about her being blonde, hot and also her being deaf

•he basically only addresses the interpreter and not Brooke herself, and when he does talk to Brooke he talks super loudly and assumes she’s dumb both bc she’s blonde and deaf, bc he is an asshole,

•whereas Elle signs to Brooke and also relates to her bc they’re both delta nu, blonde and hot 😌😌

•I’m obsessed with the idea of deaf Emmett Forrest, it makes the line “look, they laughed at me like they’re laughing at you we can’t win if we don’t follow through” hit sm harder bc people didn’t believe Emmett could be a lawyer *and* deaf as well as all his other struggles.

•I think Nicos should also be played by a deaf actor

•Elle sees him signing and bc he doesn’t realising she knows sign he mentions something about a boyfriend so she bends and snaps to no avail

•While Nicos is ‘checking out’ ladies, his voice is always eyeing up guys, (particularly Emmett 😩) Emmett sees this.

•Elle tells him what she saw and that’s how he gets the idea to ask him his bfs name to try catch him out, so he goes up and signs to him on the stand and he signs back, and that’s how they get him.

•Bonus: emmetts voice is dressed pretty snazzy the whole show while Emmett is dressed casually and rugged

•up until take it like a man, when he changes into a matching costume to his voice relating back to the line Elle sings, “that’s the best part. the outside is new, but now it reflects what’s already in you” showing that she always saw him, beyond his deafness, and he saw her beyond her “blondeness”

I just love deaf west adaptations of musicals, and like spring awakening, this one works actually works really well, I know for dwsa they literally did not have to change a single line of the original script but for this one all you’d have to do is add a couple lines hear and there to round off the loose ends and that’s it ! just an idea I had literally 3 seconds ago

pls add anything else that would be cool for deaf west legally blonde that I missed
