Even though the camera zoomed in on her face and cut out her hands, i still can understand most of it. Excellent use of facial grammar.
BigBlackBallz
Why am I oddly attracted to her....
aLilBlindKid
She's cute, perky, and seems genuinely in a good mood of course that could be the job but still.

Good one, Rhonda. *Slap*

All I can think is she looks like a female Peter Dinklage.
jamalearljones
YES. Thank you, I thought I was the only one.
ManOfKent1967
As someone who is deaf and use BSL (British), facial expressions are a part of it all. That's why we have that Mr Bean look about us.

Yeah sorry about that, not sure what happened... Fixed now though!

That's a lady who takes her job seriously and does a great job. Respect.

She's fantastic! I honestly couldn't take my eyes off of her!
Popspoppingit
But @OP the edit gif doesn't have sound!... at least not for me?
avengingkitty
You are right...idk what happened but I have reuploaded it now (with sound) in the link!

Success! Also not even close to what i expected it to sound like lmao.

There was an interpreter in my Brit Lit class, it was hilarious to watch her try and figure out how to sign the phrase "head on a spike."

I wonder if she makes the same faces during coitus?
MerToo
You do realise she's got a DragonRabbit3200 running DP in her right now; people just think the facials are something to do with the job.
saferisk
Coitus in progress. Who needs pants when the camera just shows your face.

At least you'll never have to guess how well you're doing :D

She's like the polar opposite of that twilight dimwit, whats-her-name.

ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Why do people conflate her acting for a particular movie with her acting capabilities in general? She's been good in other flicks, dudes.
SirDistic
Exactly. She's talented and displays a good range of emotions.
MerToo
note the dimwit actually had a job to do, namely to be vague and featureless so that every tweenage twerp could project into her character
MerToo
if they'd made her up in full battlepaint and accentuated whatever tits she had and shown off her figure etc it just wouldn't have worked
aLilBlindKid
Says you.
TroelsyTwo
I think as the saga progressed it didn't help things that the 2 man characters HATED doing it.

Why does almost half of the US Male population over 60 look like different incarnations of Henry Winkler.
ventureaaron42
You mean you're not?
JupitersWitch
It's our German/Irish roots.
AndrewBuggy
..and you've got an older Matt Damon in the middle.
ILoveSportsBras
Because almost half of us ARE different incarnations of Henry Winkler. Over 60 or not.

HEY! I resemble that remark!

Facial extensions are a huge part of sign language

Should probably get a black lady to do it then. I need some neck and eye rolls.

As is actually showing her hands
Kbantar
Not all. I believe old Native American sign language required a stoic face.
DukeDarkwood
Body language is a huge part of all face-to-face communication. Even verbal. So I don't see sign being exempt.

They don't really match to the content of the interpretation, speaking as someone who does not know asl

she knows what she's signing about...

It’s almost like she can hear the person taking

I live with someone who is studying and facials are a huge part
Phoenix8
Somewhere around 80% of communication is through the facial expressions.
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
I have resting a resting-bitch-face. Would that count as a speech impediment?
CirB
Not really. Your face wouldn't do much "resting" if you're doing sign language correctly.
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
But I wouldn't be doing it correctly though. That's kinda the point.
Splosions
I never thought of this till seeing it, and it all makes perfect sense.
FullSpeedAhead
My sister was born deaf. Growing up the litany was: Face her, use your lips, use your expressions. She can’t just read flat lips.

TheGhostofElizabethShue
What's this one:
WastedHope
THAT. She's signing "that" in that frame.
boopityboopboop
Yes. She signed “THAT” but with that expression it means “imperative to note”
Nightcaste
Someone farted
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
disgust or indignation, I'd wager.
boopityboopboop
Hahah no
camnox
I read that as "disgust or indigestion" at first, haha
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Possibly arousal...
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
That seems unlikely given the nature of the event. The crinkled nose, furrowed brow, and mouth don't strike me as aroused, either.

I had garnered as much, but if you use facial expressions for language don't you lose the tone? Where does all the non-verbal part go?
themuttonisniceandlean
Facial expressions are a way to express questions/intensity etc. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/facialexpressions.htm
grandpromus
We don't use tone. Deaf life and communication is very straightforward,blunt in a way that's hard to explain.
twentyfivehundred
I bet the person she's interpreting has a whole different aura about them than her.
SofaKingSpecial
Deaf people don’t hear tone, that’s exactly the purpose of the facial expressions. And she isn’t just translating, she’s interpreting. 1/2
SofaKingSpecial
So it can’t be exactly what he says, she has to express his communication to the best of her ability. ASL isn’t just English in gesture. 2/2
LitchLitch
English in gesture = Signing Exact English (SEE signing)
twentyfivehundred
That's what I don't get, the fact that the expressions don't match the tone (usually, for me anyway). Thanks for clarifying.
avengingkitty
And she is amazing.
XB0XYGEN
Just curious are you deaf?? I feel like probably mostly deaf people would be able to determine if she's amazing, but I mean I agree!Animated

That’s a little shortsighted. His brain still works. He can read and write, possibly read lips.

Deaf people are just as smart as you or I. They just need to find alternate ways to express themselves.
