The girl Ruby is the only normal person in a deaf-mute family. Her father, mother and brother are all deaf and mute. The English name of the film, CODA, is the abbreviation for the "children of the hearing-impaired". As a result, from childhood to adulthood, Ruby naturally became a free translator and a bridge between her relatives and the outside world. The special circumstances of Ruby's family caused her to be pointed and ridiculed from time to time in middle school. Ruby's "special" relative to her family also caused friction between them from time to time, but the days were still the innocent fun of the girl and the optimistic laughter of the family. The music passed quickly, until the gift of music could give Ruby two gifts, which also brought a real conflict - the music teacher noticed Ruby's talent and ability, and proposed to help her apply for the music school, while in the chorus program. During the rehearsal, Ruby and the boy she likes also discover each other and get closer... Ruby needs to balance her energy between the small stove opened by her teacher and the translation needs of her family to develop a fishing business, and also to deal with the needs of her family to the boy The shock... When a completely different, isolated, self-contained world suddenly opens outward, so-called small changes will also bring earth-shaking upheaval to the family, and the pre-teen Ruby is the only one. The buffer zone where shocks converge. The film rejects this supposed "poetic" with plain description. In a chorus performance scene that other films usually deal with as a climax, the film switches to the silent world. Ruby and the boys sang on the stage, and the parents in the audience could not hear anything. They anxiously "looked around", observed the expressions and reactions of other audience members, and after confirming that the performance was a success, they pretended to stand up slack. Applause to Ruby.

    Very heartwarming movie, I was healed by watching and listening. But no matter how difficult the life of the protagonist is in this kind of movie, at least there is still a place for talent to realize their dreams. What about the most ordinary ordinary people? ? From this point of view, such movies are also fairy tales.
