During eight tumultuous days in 1988 at the world’s only Deaf university, four students must find a way to lead an angry mob — and change the course of history. With two Deaf candidates up for the role of president, Gallaudet University students saw the possibility of finally being led by someone like them. But when the board of trustees — composed overwhelmingly of hearing individuals — selected the lone hearing candidate, the groundswell of student activism that followed forced a reckoning of more than a century of paternalism. Told primarily through American Sign Language, Deaf President Now! creates an immediacy through immersive archival footage and experiential use of silence and sound. Gallaudet alumnus, model, actor, and Deaf activist Nyle DiMarco (America’s Next Top Model) makes his directorial debut alongside veteran filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, 2023 Sundance Film Festival) with this rousing documentary that demonstrates the power of collective action to demand meaningful change, foster self-determination, and realize dreams long deferred.
具体事件发生在1988年,关于一所聋哑大学的学生们为自己的利益斗争的故事。历史上,聋哑学校的校长都是由正常听力人士担任的。他们被称为“听人”。这种称谓我理解是为了刻意回避正常不正常的字眼。弱势方难以避免自卑,强势方则难以规避傲慢。这是一种无解的情绪和心理表达。有时候甚至都不是故意的。
Sundance2025 #7 看哭了的纪录片。 非常有力量的一部关于聋哑学生关于平权抗争的故事。纪录片围绕一所一百多年的聋哑人大学,学生们在一周时间内抗议/争取第一位聋哑人校长。 关于聋哑人本身的压抑与自豪,人们对他们的误解和理解。如何消除“正常人”的傲慢,如何真正的打破少数群体无法进入主流的循环。一切都非常动人。 几个印象深刻的点:影片时不时用静音来体现聋哑人的生活,抗争中聋哑学生收到了黑人族群的支持,甚至收到了来自中国的传真,感觉80年代真的是一个生机勃勃的年代。想想时下的现实,真的一声叹息。
太振奋了!We’ve overcome our own reluctance to stand our rights这句会记很久
我的理想國不是健全人為殘疾人佯裝出的和諧社會 虛假的盲道作秀的手翻都是他們為了自我感覺良好的手段 我的理想國是殘疾人們自己建國自己打造他們認為舒適的生活環境 一個真正互幫互助的社會
连聋子都会反抗 不过这部看起来感觉好乱啊,闹哄哄的
