The truth is, we are not noble

If you love singing and have confidence in your voice, will you be the first in the choir to run away?

But what if, for a long time, you felt out of place in the crowd? - You don't think you've done anything wrong, but it's just weird.

If you knew your parents didn't make money easily, would you still complain to them constantly?

But what if they need you to accompany them all the time to make money? ——You cannot grow up slowly and have freedom like your peers, because the economic situation of this family is your freedom.

If you were a mother, would you hold back your child from going to a better college?

But what if you have doubts about whether you can leave each other? - In all your life so far, family is everything.

What if I were that girl? Will I be sensible enough to just do things and not complain? Will I work hard to both live and practice singing?

I think the truth is that we are not noble, and the greatest kindness we can do in the face of the misfortune of others is understanding.

I think that's why seeing the daughter's performance from the father's point of view is the climax of the whole film.

In addition, the biggest feeling this movie gave me was firstly about family and secondly about myself.

About the family

What a family needs may not be how perfect it is, but how reliable it is. ——The power of a family is always greater than that of the "origin family".

about yourself

It is absolutely against the evaluation of the realization of dreams and chicken soup for the soul, which is completely poisonous to young people. If I can find my passion, I dare to give up those things in my life that seem like "I can't do it without me", I dare to lose and gamble, why can't I win?

Even if you don't go to Berkeley in the end and go to an ordinary music school, is that the heroine loses?

The sea is sparkling because of success, but I don't know how much love and adventure has been deposited on the bottom of the sea.

So don't believe that if you work hard, you will be transformed. If you dare, find love.

CODA quotes

  • Frank Rossi: The song you sang tonight. What was it about?

    Ruby Rossi: It was about... what it is to need another person.

    Frank Rossi: Can you sing it for me?

  • Ruby Rossi: [signing] Did you ever wish I was deaf?

    Jackie Rossi: [signing] When you were born, at the hospital, they gave you a hearing test. And there you were, so tiny and sweet, with those electrodes all over you. And I... prayed that you would be deaf. When they told us that you were hearing, I felt... My heart sank.

    Ruby Rossi: [signing] Why?

    Jackie Rossi: [signing] I was worried that we wouldn't connect. Like me and my mom, we're not close. I thought I would fail you. That being deaf would make me a bad mom.

    Ruby Rossi: [signing] Don't worry. You are a bad mom for so many other reasons.

    [They laugh]
