I cried to see this movie with a good song atmosphere
As CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby is a deaf teenager who is able to hear among her deaf family members helping her family run smoothly in the midst of her dream of becoming a singer.
CODA is an English film adaptation of the French-Belgian film of the same name. CODA has a story full of life meaning and full of moving emotions. The plot of a family drama is dense and not wasted in building the story and characters. Presenting a family drama with a different atmosphere, the existence of a deaf family with her daughter who is able to hear. A family drama that is so complex and complicated. A good conflict throughout the film with a lot of pressure experienced by Ruby. The presence of conflicts that come in a barrage in each scene. The conflict is built to perfection, with the slow pace of the film to make room in providing such a moving atmosphere.
The film almost uses sign language in dialogue. It's become a new experience and a new learning in trying to understand sign language and deaf friends. However, this film has good dialogue, is not boring, able to present its emotional and entertaining feel in the comedy side. Good acting from deaf actors in playing deaf roles. The emotions obtained can still be felt and look much more passionate. - ella_kelbert - 30 September 2022
I prefer the french version
The story is pretty much equal, but not as good as, the original french movie Belier's Family (which by the way is also not so brilliant).
It's just too american. There's not so much going on and the joke attempts aren't that funny. The original story was richer in details and funnier, in a good way (not goofy). So I recommend you see it.
And then you don't need to see this one.
(I still have to wright about 100 characters so I'll leave the translation of part of Belier's Family theme song:
"My dear parents, I'm leaving I love you but I'm leaving You won't have a child tonight anymore
I don't run away I fly Understand, I fly Smoke-free, alcohol-free I fly, I fly"
And in case someone is wondering, I'm Brazilian, not French ;-)
