I don't know much about sign language, but it seems that her translator also deserves a huge round of applause. He is a mental athlete! She was talking so fast and he could not only translate, but also convey her humor and emotions so well, he makes it look so easy !

I'm glad they set up the interview this way. I used to get so irritated when the interviewer would ask Marlee a question and then look at the interpreter as they answered. I was like "Why aren't you looking at Marlee? She's the one talking!" This was the way it should be, Stephen focusing on her.

She even said this to the interviewer "I'm being paid to kiss." Nothing more. Plus Marlee told the interviewer that she felt so sorry for the interviewer's husband for gossip stuff. Now, Marlee has my big-time respect from that day.

Many many (MANY! lol) hearing people call what Jack was doing "translating". So, no worries. Translating actually means taking something written in one language and "translating" to a different written language. What Jack is doing is called Interpreting. It is literally the most difficult kind of Interpreting. He is seeing ASL (which is a completely different language than English) and interpreting it to spoken English. Simultaneously! It's hard enough to do that with two different spoken languages, ex Spanish to English. But, to do that with a visual language to a spoken language... well, some Neurolinguistic researchers have called it "impossible". Theoretically, of course. But, it happens and it's amazing. I've done it myself for the last 40 years. It's thrilling on so many levels.

But, with due respect, He WAS and IS an extremely skilled Interpreter and HAD been when he started working with Marlee. Or she never would've chosen him. These days he only interprets for her; he's now involved in other aspects of the film industry. As a producer, etc. But, I'm not sure you're aware that you insult him, and all Interpreters, to say he's only that skilled because of working with her.

@@Mediaright actually, it's the other way round.

You know, people of all backgrounds are being held back as a unit, so there's no longer a stable baseline as to the notion that people of any background can do a wide range of things.

We must always make a part of our thoughts and our actions the idea that we are individually and collectively capable of great things.

“La famille Belier” is a decent movie in the eyes of people who can’t really tell the difference between hearing actors acting deaf and deaf actors in roles of deaf characters however “la famille belier” caused massive outrage as they were an all hearing cast, CODA has rectified this and included deaf actors in the roles they should rightly be performing and CODA has received many rewards and nominations whereas la famille belier did not fare as well. It shows what good and correct casting can do and the talent of deaf actors. (P.s I hope you found this interesting and you enjoy watching CODA and have a lovely day wherever you are.)

@@juliad368 They do give the movie a shout out. On the multiple press functions they mention the inspiration. Even at the Oscars the screenplay award stated the movie it was based on. A lot of American movies are remakes of international films, I also believe the creators of the original were producers on the American version.

Marlees seems so cool! Definitely going watch this! You can tell her interpretor really knows her, best I've ever seen in timing and correctly portray her humor she clearly shows in her face expressions as well 😊

That is a wonderful interpreter they've got. Really does justice to her energy and charm. Way more natural than some interpretations I've seen done.

This was an amazing movie . I've watched it so many times.. Marlee is an amazing actress. And the whole.ensemble was magical to watch . The actress playing Ruby killed it in her emotions.. ASL is more then just signing with your hands it's a whole body language.. and I felt it every single time I watch .

I love Marlee in everything! So happy she's met Stephen now. CODA is great. Switched At Birth is great. So much art with/about the deaf community is out now, it's brilliant. I'm a hearing person, also I'm Russian. And I appreciate Marlee soooo much. Watch and support. Educate yourself about the community and sign language. It's such a beautiful thing!

I did a representation of her in my English class and searching about her background, I realized how strong she was. It was an inspirational story to read. I recommend you guys to do so as it might be a motivation for you to overcome your obstacles as well.
