The story happened to Ruby, the only hearing high school girl in a deaf-mute family. Every day she helped her parents and her brother manage the fishing business. After the school club began to recruit people, she joined the chorus club without hesitation. In the journey of the dream of music, the conflict with the family, and the fetters of the original family were sorted out. After a struggle and growth, he was admitted to the Berklee College of Music, and finally reconciled with his family. In fact, this film not only tells the story of this family, but presents the situation of most traditional families in the way of normal people and deaf people. It is about the generation gap between parents and children.
Nowadays, the society is developing so fast that parents and children in many families cannot really communicate with each other. The children’s unrestrained dreams are in opposition to the parents’ desire for their children to become dragons. Many times, our parents are like the parents in the movies, unable to hear their children’s voices. Singing in dreams, the path that parents choose for their children is always the safest. You don't need to have great achievements, it's enough to live a stable and peaceful life. However, many children today do not want to live a life of the same. Like Ruby in the movie, although music can release her troubles, but youth seems to be hovering on the edge of growth. In the process of growing up, troubles are inevitable. What about not treating troubles from a different angle? What really resonates deeply with us is the real feeling around us, the ability to take a small incident in great detail, and to show the real feeling of life. So much so that the last part of the sign language singing really brought tears to my eyes. We are grateful for the emotional experience that life has given us. If they are all perfect, how can we embrace each other for warmth? It is precisely because of the gap that we are more compatible with each other. Ruby never dared to speak up to confess to her family. Music gives the soul a transformation, and trouble is not a medal of youth? And the film title CODA has another meaning, it is the sign of the end of the movement, is the life insight presented by the youth prologue the best adult gift of Ruby?
