Non- verbal communication

Yesterday im comm's class,
we going through the chapter on "non-verbal communication"

The teacher showed us a video clip, in japanese, and we could only figure out what the characters were talking about through their expression and body language.
And throughout the entire video clip, i actually understand what it was about.
just by looking at their body language and expressions.

Non-verbal communication is plays a very big part in movies, especially when the movies in
different languauge.
for example, the guy in the movie, was grabbing his pants, when the drunk man was moving too near to the lady.
From his body language, i could tell that he was uncomforable and agitated by the dunk.
He didnt have to say that he was angry or anything, his actions says everything.
There was no need for words to be spoken, or any subtitles needed.
We understood the video just by how the characters communication with us non-verbally with his body language and expression
this is what i think!
Comment me if you agree of think otherwise :D

YES YES. body language is indeed important in our daily life, as we can see what is the person thinking in their minds, so as to deal with certain situation.

like your example of the angry man, when you see his body language, you would deal with the situation by leaving him. thus would help avoid conflicts, therefore it is important in our life to learn to see body language
