The movie, Coda, corrects a critique made by Ebert when he and Siskel reviewed "Children of a Lesser God," by saying that the movie only showed the perspective of the hearing (the William Hurt character). Siskel did cite the scene when Marlee was swimming in the pool and it was silent. However, Coda really did show the world of the deaf by having the sound cut out during the duet. Making Ruby and Miles out of focus and her parents' heads in focus was a clue to observe their experience of deafness.
Amazing how effective the mute is for understanding a deaf character's perspective even more. I first saw it in A Quiet Place 2 and then in this movie.
it doesnt make us cry coz they’re deaf; it makes us cry because inspite of that reality, the parents still connect with her and the dad thrived for a way to appreciate her daughter’s voice by looking at other faces’ reactions. makes me realize how much we take beautiful things for granted.
The great thing about the mute part is that it creates a setup for us to perceive the moment as a deaf father who really wants to know how good of a singer his daughter is, but he can't do that himself. So instead of focusing at the performance on the stage like the mom, the dad looks around to see the impact that his daughter's singing has on other people in that audience, seeing how people enjoy it, most smile, some even cry. He sees the positive reactions of the audience for his daughter, of which he can't be sure because of his disability. That is brilliant writing, the movie doesn't only give us the perception of deaf people but also a solution to find out things that they can't find out themselves.
The movie does such a great job in this moment. We've heard them sing this song a few times earlier in the movie as they practice and we are all super excited to hear the final and finished product in all of its glory... and much like her parents... we can't... amazing storytelling.
The part when they were looking at the audience members when their daughter was performing to get a feel of how the song is supposed to make one feel was so touching.
As a dad I feel this so much. His realization of how special his girl is. Seeing her impact on others. The confusion, growing pride, and realization that what she has is so special.
This hits very close to home. I'm a coda and my mother never missed one of my high school choir concerts even though she must have been extremely bored. Thank you mom!
@@limlc6463 It's both. Sitting there watching a bunch of kids that aren't yours on stage singing for an hour or two when you don't hear would be boring as hell. But her mom (and the parents in this movie) do it because they love their kid.
This is one of the most powerful scenes from this movie. It puts you in the shoes of a deaf person to try and experience what their world is like. It's so well done.
We watched this movie in my ASL class I was crying when the sound cut I couldn’t imagine being there to see your child do something great and not be able to experience it-
I feel like the beauty of this film was that it showed they were able to experience it, just in a different way. Their observing the way their daughter's singing moved the audience was emotional for them. The scene where she sings the song again for her dad at home was an incredible experience for both of them (and is one of the most beautiful scenes in the movie).
I’m a CODA, and this movie really got me a few times. When Ruby tells Miles he doesn’t know what it’s like to have people talk poorly about your family, and have to be the one to defend them because they can’t hear it said… that got me. This scene was another. My dad got the Cochlear implant and heard birds for the first time in his 40s. This brought me back to that moment of realization how much we take for granted the little things our senses afford us that for Deaf folks is non-existent. This movie made me so proud to be a part of Deaf culture, as it also highlighted that the Deaf community doesn’t consider itself disabled. It’s part of the identity, it’s a piece of who they are. Deaf people see themselves as no more or less capable than anyone else.
We ALL want to hear what she's singing, so when the performance mutes out, it really hits hard--to be thrust into their perspective and get a sense of what they as parents must be feeling. So powerful. Brilliantly conceived and executed. Totally bawling again.
Literally one of the greatest cinematic moments I have seen in a long time. I didn't expect anything when I (or well, my mom) started watching this, but the further the movie gets the more I realized that Ok, this one actually deserved the Oscar
I like how they mute in this scene. I thought this would be a climax scene for movie since it used this song throughout from the beginning, but they actually save the real deal for 'Both Sides Now' and it sums up whole movie which is totally perfect.
The mute scene is the most moving scene I’ve seen in a long time. I do know that music for some deaf people is annoying/confusing/incomprehensible. Just before this scene, the mom was asking what dad wanted for dinner because I think they were kind of bored tbh… but to have it mute… when all of us hearing people wanted to hear it.. powerful. It’s more about the parents actually being there, even if they don’t understand how music is so powerful. I just watched the movie last night, so maybe my thoughts aren’t all in order but this scene genuinely shocks me, it’s so so beautiful.
2:09 What I find interesting is that when the applause starts silent until it cuts back to Ruby on stage. It shows the applause from the parents' perspective. I also look at it where the audience is applauding in silence for the parents and applauding them for raising an amazing talent.
Watching this part of the movie, man, I felt it right in the feels. Whoever had the idea to make it silent right at that point in the song… to maybe experience for a few seconds what those of the deaf community live with their whole lives, my mind wanted to hear that duet, because I love music, but they purposefully deprived the audience from listening. It was truly genius. Loved this movie. Loved Toy’s acceptance speech at the Oscar’s.
This scene made me cry a lot. I have lateral deafness, I can hear everything, but I've lived many moments in my life where I have to transcribe the situation through people's reactions, I can't always be on the right side of a conversation or situation listening to everything, and sometimes I even feel that it's boring to ask what the person said, and this scene summed up exactly those moments.
This is pure genius. I mean, you can’t felt how they truly feel unless you’re in their shoes and this scene was so brilliant to feel what her family feels. Genius.
I love how her dad/parents look around at the audience. Expierencing the performance through them. Noticing how the singing touches them without being able to hear it. Also love the scène where she sings to hear father.
Yes, another crying scene. At the end of the movie when Ruby auditions and her parents and brother sneak in to the balcony, I sobbed so loud that I was sure others would hear me.
Lyrics You're all I need to get by Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you And it was plain to see You were my destiny With my arms open wide I threw away my pride I'll sacrifice for you Dedicate my life for you I will go where you lead Always there in time of need And when I lose my will You'll be there to push me up the hill There's no, no looking back for us We got love, sure 'nough, that's enough You're all, you're all I need to get by (You're all I need to get by) Tammi, listen Like an eagle protects his nest, for you, I'll do my best Stand by you like a tree, and dare anybody to try and move me Darling in you, I found Strength where I was torn down Don't know what's in store, but together we can open any door Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal 'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one You're all, you're all I need You're all I need You're all I need To get by Oh, babe Oh, babe Honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah I need you darling Oh, I need you (you're all) All your love (all I need) Oh, oh, oh I love you darling (oh, baby) All I need I need your love (you're all I want) Oh (oh) All you love now (yeah)
This was such a fantastic director’s/script writers choice to mute the duet they’ve been building up throughout the movie to finally build upon the parents concerns whilst showcasing her growth as seen by the audience around him. Amazing ❤
This beautiful song was written by Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. They wrote lots of great songs over the years including, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "I'm Every Woman."
I loved the directorial choice to muffle her finale. To have it focus on her father and to realize that everyone around them loves their performance. Especially at the end when he requests to hear her sing by holding his fingers on her neck; brings tears to my eyes
That was a powerful scene. At first I thought something was wrong with my computer then it hit me. Not ashamed to say I teared up as I realized what was happening.
This was the scene that made me break down in tears. Could you imagine life without your sense of sound? Never hearing things like that beautiful harmony? The silence was so powerful here. Makes you think how we take sound for granted.
It was a shock like being beaten by this work here. For some reason, I still remember the feeling of being trapped in dark water, as if the atmosphere in the movie theater suddenly disappeared.
The french film "la famille bélier" from 2014 is soo similar. Even with the mute scene. I would really recomend to watch it and the actress in it Louane was on the voice france too.
I had seen the french original back in 2015. It was a good, funny but also quite silly movie. After learning about Coda, I was slightly sceptical: How could this have such an impact, as a lot of people claimed? Or did I miss something 7 years ago? No, I didn't: Coda is so much better in so many ways. It dumps the silly part and puts in a LOT of honest human emotions. And this scene is the best example: I cried instantly, after the sound stopped. But I wanted to be sure and just rewatched the same scene in the french version. Yes, it is good, but it doesn't have the same impact. The actors aren't on par. The directing feels average. And there is one MAJOR difference: In the original, the sound doesn't mute completely. They put in a muffled noise instead. As I said: It is good - but I didn't cry. So, I rewatched immediately after it the Coda version of the scene - and I cried instantly, again. This is so, so, so much better. La familie Bélier is a good movie. But Coda is the near perfect version of that movie, because the director and writer Siân Heder put in a lot of more effort, took the good ideas of the original and made the right changes. And that's why I am rooting for it to win Best Picture tomorrow.
@@anggiridhohabibi9254 I've been sitting out on this movie for months and I just decided to watch it today (I put it off for a few days even after knowing it won an Oscar). I'm so glad I finally watched it; such great storytelling, and this scene specifically made such an impact on me.
This scene is what Gene Siskel felt was missing from Children of a Lesser God, a story about deaf characters should have moments where you the audience experiences what they do.
Yes!! This movie won Best Picture for Oscars 2022 !!! Well Deserved !!! 💯💖

I really love the Mute Part, so we can really feel what they feel :)

For me, this the moment when this movie goes just beyond what we see and makes us feel something only great movies are able to!

When it became silence I cried... It was the most powerful moment of this film
This made me cry so much. I was aware of deaf people being deaf and all but this made me experience it... I just
beautiful movie. really hope troy kotsur gets an oscar nod, really powerful acting especially in this scene

What a beautiful portrayal of life, art, family.... all of it
It reached down & grabbed your Emotions....No CGI....Mega Stars..... Writing & Acting
One of the best part of the movie. No sounds but so full of emotions.

UPありがとうございます。
Heck, it deserves best picture! 🤟🏼

This really makes me emotional
The mute part was the one of best scene i've ever seen
Coda is most beautiful underrated understood movie ever in my opinion. Definitely didn't get enough praise
Absolutely the best example of deaf reality around others. Awesome scene.
This scene is when you realized the movie was going to show the importance of a good father.
damn that made me cry

@@hawken4112 Damn, beat me to it
Cried like a baby. And, btw, if you watch it again, you will cry again.

Yes, another crying scene. At the end of the movie when Ruby auditions and her parents and brother sneak in to the balcony, I sobbed so loud that I was sure others would hear me.
Brilliant scene.
This is when I first started tearing up. Just watching other people's emotions allowed him to connect with it
Lyrics
You're all I need to get by
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We got love, sure 'nough, that's enough
You're all, you're all I need to get by
(You're all I need to get by) Tammi, listen
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you, I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree, and dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you, I found
Strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store, but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal
'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination
You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all, you're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need
To get by
Oh, babe
Oh, babe
Honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah
I need you darling
Oh, I need you (you're all)
All your love (all I need)
Oh, oh, oh
I love you darling (oh, baby)
All I need
I need your love (you're all I want)
Oh (oh)
All you love now (yeah)
listen with your heart you will know it's the loudest scene
Well said 😊
Emilia sure inherited her dad's pipes (Aled Jones, of "Walking in the Air" cover fame from The Snowman)

This scene in theatre is Insane no one saw it coming and when it happen we all just gaps
and that the moment we realise what it all about
Thanks!❤
unironically got chills
I cried like a baby by watching this scene
This is so Amazing scene!!!
Having the sound drop out of that scene made it so very poignant❤

Talking about #Waterworks scene!! 😭😭This movie was BEYOND incredible! Definitely Oscars worthy 👍🏼❤️
No, the Academy is too snobby. A movie where people LIKE the main characters, and the characters are HAPPY at the end? Who ever heard of such a thing!
This was the scene that made me break down in tears.
Could you imagine life without your sense of sound? Never hearing things like that beautiful harmony?
The silence was so powerful here. Makes you think how we take sound for granted.
This part made me cry.
このシーンだけみても全然号泣案件。
この後のお父さんとのシーンも堪んねえ。
倖田來未で愛のうたとかいう楽曲あるの
紛らわしすぎてぶち切れそう。
love all of them
Damn! 1:10 that scene hits hard! Suddenly seeing a Deaf person perspective is Soo Sad and emotional
It was a shock like being beaten by this work here. For some reason, I still remember the feeling of being trapped in dark water, as if the atmosphere in the movie theater suddenly disappeared.
Watch this this school year at was amazing I was happy that it got the Oscar
Hard to imagine a world never heard.
the mute part made me wanna cry😭
