Why not just make a silent film then instead of having us watch people wave their hands around?

Do you normally dismiss other people's languages like you're some sort of Victorian looking down on savages in the colonies? :stare:

The director outright stated that he was going for a silent film type thing with it, and the choice of USL (given the film's themes and plot otherwise) seems like less of an attempt at drawing attention to the language and more of a simple attempt at obfuscating the dialogue. If this was trying to raise awareness of the language, you would have a point, but you don't.

My point is that, regardless of context, what you said was no better than someone dismissing someone's language for sounding funny.
