Voice for The Voiceless: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* There's an interesting take in [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]. The pirate Cotton had his tongue cut out, and has his parrot talk for him. The other pirates then interpret what the parrot says.

'''Parrot:''' [squawk] Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!<br />

'''Mr. Gibbs:''' Mostly, we figure, that means "yes." }}

== [[Real Life]] ==

* Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, though mostly silent, can occasionally become this.

* It goes without saying that for those who are mute or are incapable of communicating in a way other than sign language, they'll most likely have someone who can translate sign language.

 

* In ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', Misha serves as an interpreter for the deaf-mute Shizune, who uses sign language. Some of Misha's own personality quirks occasionally get in the way, though.

* In ''[[Baccano]]'', {{spoiler|Claire Stanfield}} develops a knack for interpreting what [[The Speechless|Chane]] is "saying" by facial expression alone. He has been known to carry out complete conversations with her in this manner, much to the confusion of onlookers.

'''Maria:''' ... Us "other people" are thinking you're a huge idiot right now, amigo. }}

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* In ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'', since the inhabitants of Mars are part of a collective consciousness, it is considered to be a [[Genius Loci]], and thus every citizen speaks for the planet as a whole. This gets interesting once one of the Martians takes an interest in the main character.

'''Benjamin:''' That's like saying, "Brazil thinks you're cute." }}

* Mako Tsunami from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]''. Mako talks for (and [[Cargo Ship|eventually marries, separates from and gets back together with]]) the ocean.
