conflict and reconciliation

The only girl with normal hearing in the deaf-mute family has a talent for singing, and I have to say that the girl who is destined to not be understood by her family is in adolescence, and it is also a proposition of conflict and reconciliation. At the annual autumn concert, in the girl When the duet was sung, the focus was on the parents. At the same time, we have also entered the suffocating silent world of our parents with the camera. It's not a shame to come to the concert, but it is true that the three beautiful people in the concert are looking around, and they can only guess the performance of the people on the stage by observing the expressions of others as much as possible. In the evening, the father puts his hand on his daughter's vocal cords to feel the singing and asks what you are singing today. The family finally decided to let their daughter break into a new world, and they used their own methods to get along with other people. During the interview performance, the daughter used sign language to assist her performance in order to make her parents understand. I have been to Dialogue in the Dark and the blind restaurant, and the experience is very profound, walking, eating, and talking in the darkness where I can't see my fingers. This is the world of the blind. But I have seen the light, theirs, born in the dark, walking in the light, but there is no light in their eyes

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]
