Making Of CODA - Behind The Scenes & Talk With Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin, D. Durant & Troy Kotsur

[@_carbon.acid_]

When father feels her daughter singing on the back of the truck, that part made me cry

[@AnaDiaz-wz4cf]

True! I ugly faced cried😭😭 I couldn't stop crying the rest of the movie and I'm crying now just thinking about it!! Best scene in any of the movies I've watched in years. He deserves that Oscar, hope he gets it.

[@toughtaurus7270]

Me too!

[@abderrahimhidar3360]

Yeah absolutely!

[@seanyfeng]

That Frank feels the throat of her daughter Ruby singing reminds me of Helen Keller writing to the New York Symphony Orchestra to express her joy at "listening" to Beethoven's 9th Symphony by putting her hand on the receiver of the radio and feeling the vibrations.

[@coachbronco]

He did it! That famous truck scene goes into the Oscar history book!!!

[@keysburntgucci9016]

Really good movie. The frustration Leo showed at Ruby saying "Let them figure out how to deal with deaf people", that made me cry. Made me realise how we really should make an effort to accommodate people with disability in our lives.

[@morrisonlover44]

Also went Leo went for a beer and the fishermen ignored him 😭

[@Nazaba09]

I understand ruby though. I’m latina and I know so many people who don’t learn English and use their kids as translators. They’re used as a crutch.

[@RoyCyberPunk]

@@Nazaba09 The difference is the Latino parents can learn English if they want to. There is no real barrier there beyond their unwillingness to learn at least the basics of another language from the host country. The deaf however cannot hear a fog horn or someone yelling behind their backs at least not without the aid of already existing but hardly implemented at all technology which I find disgraceful. We have the technology nowadays to break and tear down the wall between the non hearing and the hearing once and for all. For example. The fishing boat and the stupid requirement of a hearing person as an intermediary could be easily solved with an audio recognition gadget no bigger than a wristwatch which would vibrate in different ways to tell the wearer of someone yelling or a horn being sound etc. An upgrade to tools like Google Translate that would also translate sign language into text and speech. Augmented reality goggles that would allow the wearer to attend a comedian stand in. Without the need of interpreter as the Goggles would conversely translate speech into an avatar that shows it as sign language in real time. As I said all these technologies currently exist as we speak but they have virtually not been implemented to tear down this barrier at all. That needs to change ASAP.

[@Nazaba09]

@@RoyCyberPunk deaf people can get cochlear implants but they’re so proud of their ‘culture’, they refuse.

[@RoyCyberPunk]

@@Nazaba09 Dude even if a deaf person gets such a thing is no guarantee that they will be able to hear. The brain is not going to understand the signal its receiving if it never used it to begin with. Humans are not stereos where you can just hookup a new gizmo and get going.

[@elliechristensen7160]

The fact that Emilia Jones didn't get nominated for an Oscar is nothing short of tragic. She was simply amazing.

[@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697]

The fact that it took since 1986 for a disabled actor to win an Oscar or be a featured character in a movie is more tragic.

[@EnriqueMannucci]

The Oscar is a scam, just like the Grammy or the Ballon d'Or.

[@jimhartley4460]

Couldn't agree with you more!

[@potatoisme6953]

Yeahhu she has beautiful voice... learn how to sign language dan fishing. And of course. Amazing performance

[@jegca]

the Leo character may actually have been the most complex.. him being the older sibling that was able to function fine before his sister was born but then pushed into an inferior role because his younger sibling can hear... his comment that 'the family was fine and could function before you were born' to Ruby was very deep.

[@brennahasselmann8075]

That was my favorite signing scene, when Leo was telling Ruby that on the beach. The way he signs is so enunciated, I really felt his emotion with his signing style.

[@jegca]

@@brennahasselmann8075 totally agree.. i think that one scene gave me an epiphany and made me realize HIS struggles and conflicts, whereas I was only focused on Ruby up to that point...

[@impasceticfinalp2923]

I think he just felt like, he is a brother but can't do anything for his sister. He's happy when Ruby told her dream, and he just want to protect his sister's dream. When he knew he couldn't, he became mad and angry.

[@KAK_PAN]

[@luispalomo78]

Yes youre right... thiere's something weird there.

[@Forthebulls]

My husband is a Coda. I’ve been in the family for over 30 years. The deaf community is very special. My husbands first language is ASL and my children have been raised with deaf grandparents. We are very proud to be part of the deaf community.

[@annc9850]

Im a coda (French) like your husband is and I agree with you. The deaf community is very special. Its a very special kind of country of their own. I feel very proud to be a “hearing deaf” as I often explain.

[@katarinastrom4193]

My husband is a coda to ( Swedish sign language) we have been married for 25 years now. I feel exactly as you, it’s was no brainer for me to learn sign language to be able to communicate with them, my teenage son is not fluent, but have no problems talking to his grandparents. I really loved this movie!

[@Kriegerkreise]

The waterworks started for me when Frank asks Ruby to sing the song for him. Up until that point, I had seen the song as a romantic song, but as soon as he made that request, the song became immensily more personal and the meaning shifted completely to a father-daughter relationship. And when he puts his hands on her throat to feel the vibration of her vocal cords, they were finally connected through music, and he finally understood and appreciated that side of her. It was a gorgeous scene.

[@hernebaybob]

Incredible cinematography at that moment of complete silence during the concert. Films like this don’t come along that often. Well done all, you smashed it!

[@HoneyQuint]

It is an absolute classic and it has just been out

[@universaltraveler1901]

Emilia truly deserves all the praise and awards for this movie I can't even imagine how hard it is to learn all those lines both in dialogue and sign language the whole team and cast deserve it was an amazing experience I watch it 2x now and got emotional in both

[@KAK_PAN]

And learning music too.

[@No1sonuk]

IIRC, she didn't just learn the lines in ASL - she learned ASL so she could communicate off-screen. As for the music - her father is the Welsh singer Aled Jones.

[@spiderliliez]

So many emotions watching this film. I remember finishing it and felt so grateful to see it, but I was a total mess after watching. I cried too many times in this film. I really commend Emilia Jones for learning ASL, she really worked so hard on it. Imagine she had to learn everyone's lines in ASL, not just her own. I'm so happy she was casted as Ruby, because she really did so well. All in all, the film is just sooo beautiful. This film deserves more views to be honest. Not many people know about it.

[@ventertours]

I cried my eyes out 4 times, but I nearly wet my pants too - it was SO funny at times, so emotional at others. Great story, great authentic acting, great movie!

[@HoneyQuint]

It was mind blowing!!!

[@MFM230]

I only cried--many times--at when Ruby began signing at the audition, I sobbed out loud.

[@TitaniumTronic]

This movie is tryna drain both my eyes and bladder at the same time 😭😂😭😂

[@Yuyubearlife]

Troy Kotsur is so funny 😆 he is so natural to make people laugh.

[@monkncook]

The best scene is the one with Troy and the daughter sitting on the bed of the truck and he was touching her neck to feel the vibrations of her singing. That was the most touching scene.

[@yaniracabrera9358]

That part got me😭what was also so cool in that same line, I learned & understood the high volume when dad was listening to rap music. Great writing. What a beautiful lesson.

[@toughtaurus7270]

The first 40 seconds where they're hugging each other is so beautiful! Obviously Daniel was saying goodbye but you can see how much they all genuinely care about each other. Our world needs so many more displays of genuine love for our fellow humans.

[@coachbronco]

Best deaf cast ensemble ever in our film history!!!!! We may never get anything like it again.

[@JadedKate]

I watched that on another video where they had captions and Troy said to Daniel "You'll be fine !" * thumps his chest * "We'll work together again." because they were living together and Daniel is from a small town, was raised by two mothers, and doesn't know many deaf people, so to have that father figure was important to him.

[@bikesdotsandpeeps]

I discovered this movie this morning and I joined Apple TV+ just so that I can watch it. No other movie has made me cry like this one did. As someone who wants to make a short film series about stigma, inclusion and dreams, I believe that this film will inspire ideas for what I will create. Thank you for making such a genuine and powerful movie. It's definitely one of my new favorites.

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

oh my troy kotsur is just a veeery fun dad you want to have lmao, I really love his energy and personality, he's a very nice human-being and a spectacular actor! I reallyyy hope he gets an oscar this year, amen to that

Watched this movie last night. It was incredible. Brilliant writing and the cast was amazing. Definitely deserved the best movie Oscar. It was funny, made me cry at times and gave me a perspective on what it would be like to be deaf. Hands down the best movie I've seen in quite some time!

[@latebloomerabroad]

I love this movie! I'm glad to hear that Marlee Matlin had trouble saying the lines where the mother is dismissive of her daughter wanting to be a singer, just because the mother was deaf. It was hard to hear those lines too, but it was part of the story arc.

If I could take away only one memorable quotation from the movie, it would be this: "Being deaf is not a handicap; it's an identity." I've known a few deaf people whose greatest frustration was when hearing people treated them as if they were stupid. Truly, it's society that handicaps people.

It's fun watching Siân Heder finger spell "condescending" around 12:52 and then learn how to sign it. She misspells a little, but she communicates effectively.

[@vigal79]

This was an incredible film. I love sign language. Some thing I didn’t realize, is that the lady playing Ruby sounds like she’s perhaps British. It’s so interesting, because in the film you would think that she’s a real life coda. She obviously played the part really well. Because I thought she had grown up with it. And to learn that she was British was also more interesting because, the two sign languages are very different. American sign language, and British sign language have nothing in common. In fact, British sign language has a two-handed fingerspelling alphabet. When in American sign language we have a one-handed alphabet. I am not deaf, just have a passion for the language.

[@lieke3043]

Emily (Ruby) didn’t know any sign before getting this role. So it’s impressive that she learned her lines and was able to perform them so quickly. I’m learning Dutch sign language now (started in February) and I would say that I pick it up fairly quickly, but I am nowhere near as quick as Ruby in the movie.

[@susiemv]

@@lieke3043 Emilia not only learnt ASL to the brilliant degree that she declined having an interpreter during the filming, but she also learnt to sing beautifully, speak with an American accent (she is British with a Welsh father and English mother) plus she learnt how to fish and handle the fishing trawler.
