CODA | Doctor Appointment

Twitch: willszo

[@nootherchance7819]

Dude! I'm a CODA! This scene is sooo relatable! It's not only doctor visits I had to deal with this. It's every single moment where I had to be the voice for my parents! Talking to insurance, doing taxes(had to talk to the IRS at one point lol), internet/phone bill, workplace, ordering food, and et cetera.. It was overwhelming when I was growing up, but now as an adult it's okay! So glad this film is getting the recognition it deserves!

This reminds me so much as a kid who grew up in a spanish language home in the USA. My siblings and I had to read every document and explain everything to our parents. I know this is about the deaf community but it can also be compared to this. It brought so many memories. This is why I loved this movie.

[@barmyflight]

There's a video where Eugenio Derbez (the music teacher in the movie) described how he felt CODA was also dedicated to migrants and their children when he was asked about inclusion/diversity. I thought it was a beautiful remark! Thanks for confirming this.

[@paulamcoldlady9468]

Is totally comparable in my opinion

[@Forthebulls]

My husband is a Coda but it warms my heart to see that other people could relate to it too.

[@gertipumb6695]

👌 Thx for mentioning your story. I think it is NOT ONLY a film "...about the deaf community". It is about "communication". You can communicate verbal or non_verbal. Hearing and deaf people can only communicate by using a "visual speech". I grew up in the 1960s in a deaf family with a younger hearing sister, deaf parents and hearing grandparents. We never used sign language - only my parents. It was forbidden by my grandparents. We were forced to find a "way" to understand our parents. Using our face, the mouth "forming" the words... letting speak the whole body - instead of using sign language - to understand our parents or to be understood by our parents was very exhausting. In 2008 i heard about "CODA" for the first time and visitted a weekend-gathering of CODA_DACH (Deutschland/Österreich/Schweiz) in Austria. Since then "my inner journey" began... There are also CODAs which have similar backgrounds like you, 2 or more different languages AND deafness in their families. They are called 3rd_culture_kids. By chance i met Oya Ataman (signsandwords.com / coda+) who "opened my eyes" with her warm-hearted words and her empathy. Although i'm a CODA, i've more experiences with the hearing world, but i know both sides.

@@Mayurbhedru "Most of the time" being what is illustrated here.

[@RaymondHng]

@@Mayurbhedru Computer translation is not 100% accurate. Sometimes computer translation can lead to a life-threatening medication error. In one instance, the flawed translation would have told the patient to keep taking a kidney medication while the English instruction told the patient to “hold the kidney medicine until you have a chance to speak with your kidney doctor.” The English instruction meant that the patient should stop the medication because it could worsen kidney function in a patient who is already experiencing worsening kidney function. This is why computer translation should always be checked for accuracy.

My wife is an MD, and this may not be true in all hospitals/clinics or all states, but family members/friends are forbidden from being the translator for medical information to or from the patient(s). They HAVE to use a hospital-supplied translator who has had medical info training, otherwise the Doc has no way to know what is being translated accurately. It's considered a form of malpractice.

[@sharonjones7929]

The original film is french. Why did the Orginal film not get the Oscar?

[@Bjork4s]

The original movie was highly criticzed by the French deaf community because it didn't have deaf actors to play deaf characters to the point they got the sign language wrong. When they got the sign language wrong, that's where the original movie fell apart atleast for the deaf community. CODA exists to fix that and made it better by having actual deaf actors to play deaf characters. The community praised the movie more positively than they did with the original. People who don't understand French sign language can read subtitles but for their target audience which is the deaf community, seeing how much wrong the original movie had with the sign language is an insult for the community Also one of the producers of the original movie, produced this remake so that's not an issue for it. Good for the French producers gave a blessing for this movie and won an Oscar for Best Picture together with the Americans. It was actually the French producers that approached the writer and director of this movie to remake the original movie, they took the criticism of the original movie and ask the Americans to fix it, improved it, make it better and more respectful to the deaf community

The original film is not going to win. because the hearing actor did not know how to improv sign language at all. It's a shame!!!!! They did steal the Deaf community in their role. Very wrong and very racist too

Instead of supporting actor, he should have won best actor. Oscar wasted their best actor award to immature guy.
