a movie for the dreamers
A girl who wants to be a singer, in a deaf family.
I am surprised that this movie was so good, instead of spoil anything i will say that the movie is about how sometimes dreams take alot of time, and how sometimes, being born in a weird family works, even when dont look possible.
All the actors were great, theres many jokes i wasnt expecting, and the music in all the scenes makes sense.
Not only is about deaf people dealing with music, is about a dreamer who follows the dream, even if takes the whole movie to get it.
Seeing eugenio derbez playing there besides other actors-he is more know in latin america as a comedian-in the same level makes me happy, because everybody in the movie really make you understand the real message, that dreams works, even if takes time. - m-abtahi - 28 January 2024
Navigating the Silence, Echoing Emotions
I recently watched the film "CODA" (2021), directed by Sian Heder. "CODA" revolves around a talented girl in a family where everyone is deaf except for her. From childhood, she navigates the relationship between her family and the outside world, serving not only as a translator but also translating emotions. The film portrays the challenging dilemma of loyalty to family versus pursuing one's dreams. However, it goes beyond that, offering a profound reflection on the concept of family.
The film beautifully captures the struggle between remaining devoted to family and venturing into the pursuit of personal aspirations. It presents a thought-provoking image of family, suggesting that even if the entire world were to disappear, these few individuals would be more than enough for each other.
The journey between the inner world of the actors, who are truly deaf, and the world filled with noise and commotion is a unique aspect of the film. It unveils moments of discovering another world, particularly during the exchanges between the deaf characters in a world bustling with sounds. "CODA" is a profound film, rich in emotion, and far from sentimental clichés.
