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.

@@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...

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.

@@impasceticfinalp2923 i love your point.

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

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.

Me too!

Yeah absolutely!

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.

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

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

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.

@@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.

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

@@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.

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.

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!

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.

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

@@EnriqueMannucci NOW, yes, those awards could be considered scams.

Couldn't agree with you more!

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

It is an absolute classic and it has just been out

Very well said

that scene was touching and incredibly thought provoking

I hate that part because I can fully hear my ugly sobs for a few minutes 😂

I cried like a kid in this scene 😭😭😭😭

I actually thought Rudy was going to sign at the school concert so I was very happen when she did at the audition.

@@danacoletti3382 I literally had several heart attacks there

@@danacoletti3382 yeah me to..im just waiting for the sign language at the school stage but they give us tht moment at the final arc which is a lot better...GOOOSEBUMPS

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.

I completely agree. This is the most beautiful film. Amazing talent, music, cinematography. I will recommend this film to everybody i know.

Troy Kotsur, who plays as "dad" got nominated to oscar as supporting actor and CODA got nominated to oscar as best picture ;ooo

@@oldmandomi712 I hope they win

THEY WON

@@fabianal.3033 Yes. I was so happy when I heard it.

It was mind blowing!!!

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

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

And learning music too.

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.

Yes, my heart swelled with even more love for her at that part of the interview

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

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.

He's now on the hottest track to win it. Everyone is watching very closely, especially SAG barometer (since some of the voters are from the Oscar voting members)

He did😭❤️

He won that Oscar!

And it’s a remake

Common perspective out there across the board

She’s been acting professionally since she was a child-an enormous talent 👍🏻

Me. I keep watching certain scenes multiple times. Especially, the scene where she sings to her father.

He was worried on whether he gets more acting assignments or not. It was his last daynat the film. Troy told him not to worry! (I'm deaf, I read Troys comment in ASL to Daniel).

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.

@@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.

Thats why SAG voted this cast as the best cast ever in 2021! Amazing cast ever!

Did you see her new look with a new haircut yesterday? Wow! Very adult-like!!! So beautiful
