      The hand signals are from Zoltan Kodaly's musical hand signs taught to the       deaf to teach them music. When used in the movie it was something added by us       humans as the aliens were teaching us a language that was tonal and visual but       totally new to us we        showed that we understood by showing them that we also had visual as well as       tonal language              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
