Introduction
Nonverbal behavior is the important part in conversation. Even though our communication is based on words, but there are still many things that cannot be explained by words and need to be explained by using nonverbal behavior.

In the first scene that the wife hugs her husband from the back can tell that she worries and loves her husband and this gesture can work as word substituting of love and care. In the scene that the doctor gives him the paper, he takes off his glasses for a while, this can tell that he worries or he prepares himself before he reads the paper and its function is to substitute the words because he chooses to take off his glasses not to speak a word that he is worried about the result. Moreover in this scene, the gesture of taking off the glasses works with blank and worried facial expression and eye contact to show that he is not fine and he is so worried. In the scene when a guy is trying to hide the paper in the restaurant, this scene shows that he does not want another guy to know about his situation now and it tell that he tries to avoid the conversation about that paper and its function can be regulating the conversation because he tries to hide the paper, so he tries to tell that do not ask about it.

    The Deep Movie Analysis

    Efficient Icelandic director, Baltasar Kormakur, returns to the cinematic recreations of dramatic real-life events after the accomplished “The Deep”, dated from two years ago. Right after the latter, he made an incursion into the action-crime fictional genre with the uninvolving “Two Guns”, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. “Everest”, an account of the tragedy occurred in the famous Nepalese mountain in the spring of 1996, also presents a strong cast, including Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, and Emily Watson. Screenwriters William Nicholson and Simon Beaufoy try to assemble the different pieces in a mix of family drama, human competition, and survival epic, but in my eyes, and despite watchable, the film falls short of something big. A group of audacious climbers from several nationalities aim to reach the top of the Everest.…

Viscerally, it was really weird because Nim’s life was to understand how similar Chimps are to humans, however, it became more than that after 5 years. Intellectually, it was fascinating to see how Nim interacted with others with primal behavior during his “human” life and his “lab chimp” life. When Nim begins to drastically increase his sign vocabulary, it was intellectually interesting because I was curious to see what…

    Nonverbal communication has to do with how one will express how they are feeling simply through facial expression and body language. “Nonverbal factors can make the face-saving deception either succeed or fail,” which is not a good thing when one is telling a big lie because people do not realize even though your verbally saying one thing, your body language could be telling another story, but most liars tend to get caught (183). There were a handful of examples when it came to deceptive communication through out the movie. One example is when Fletcher was walking into work and was greeting everyone with nice compliments, he said to one guy “ Hey Pete! Losing weight?…
