Her audition scene made me cry ;__;

I've seen the original.
Oh yeah, I forgot there was a Frenchy version. Is it better?
No offence to deaf people, but are you fricking annoying and indignant like every other deaf from birth person I've met or is that just a stereotype these specific buttholes have perpetuated? Also, are you deaf from birth?
I'm not deaf from birth, but I went part deaf at a young age and since then I've gotten gradually deafer at two different times in my life. I can just about hear, with hearing aids, but without them I'm basically deaf as a post.
>but are you fricking annoying and indignant like every other deaf from birth person I've met or is that just a stereotype these specific buttholes have perpetuated?
This is a great question to open your post with btw.
I don't actually know many other deaf people, so I can't really answer your question with personal experience. I know I'm not indignant or annoying about things though of course I hope I'm not annoying to people unintentionally
There's a fair amount of difference between someone who goes deaf, and those who are deaf from birth. The latter can refer to themselves as Deaf (capitalised) and I think that's a justified distinction even if I personally dislike the idea of it. Going deaf and always having been deaf are two linked but pretty different life experiences. There's having heard and lost, and then there's having never heard at all.
Can you hear music, at least in your head, I guess, is what my question is? If I ever went deaf, though I couldn't hear new (discovered) music, at least I could play all the old music I knew in my head.
Yeah, I can still (just about) listen to music, though it sounds slightly off these days after my hearing got a bit worse a while back.
>I could play all the old music I knew in my head.
Yup, I can do that
In fact, familiar music is better to me now than new music. Since I already know it, I think my brain automatically fills in the gaps more.
Well, it's more the fact that "new" music I refer to is old classics that I hadn't had the chance to ever listen to rather then the new bullshit music if that makes any sense. Also, you had hearing at one stage and still do to a much lesser extent so you still remember what that sense was like so you're completely different to the deaf from birth people, i and the movie CODA were describing.
Just for example, this might not be your genre but are you able to hear this or make out the melodies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWh1gsTMYy0
Don't know if the French is better. I thought it was a forgettable flick so I didn't watch the remake.
The original has fewer deaf actors and probably a lower budget.
I saw the original in the theatre, might be only time I've cried in the theatre. Remake wasn't as good I thought. Only reason I saw the original in the first place is cause someone who reviewed it in the paper about how it was racist so i figured it was worth a watch, lol. The racist part was cause at one point their cow gave birth to a conpletely black calf so they named it Obama, lol.
its a solid movie. but there was no CGI battle sequences so of course nobody here bothered to watch it,
>Why the frick didn't anybody watch CODA?
everything about it seems like oscar bait garbage for trendy hipster homosexuals like , it's good every once in a while but coda in particular really doesn't seem all that interesting at all.
I think it got a little overshadowed that year by a certain little bit of Big Willie Style, and it didn't help that it's an Apple exclusive. Like seriously, do you know anyone who actually has fricking Apple TV?
Also, no one really cares about deaf people.
t. deaf person
Wasn't this a COVID release?
People really didn't give a shit about awards or even movies back then
Nah, the year when Willie Smith gave Chris Rock a lovetap on the cheek as
pointed out so really just after.
eh
Because it was on Apple TV
>Apple
That always seemed like a lame excuse. Most people I know above 40 have an iphone over an android. Frick it, most people I know above 20 (especially chicks who'd love CODA) use iphones and ipads. Apple doesn't give them free movies from time to time?
People are tired of streaming service saturation. I dont WANT to download and set up free trials for Paramount+, Disney+, Apple TV, etc. On top of what I already have.
Or else that was me. I've since cancelled every subscription and got one of those black market sticks that have access to it all and new movies. £50 a year. I could also pirate, but I'll pay for that convenice to Steve because ots absolute quality
Just because iPhones are insanely popular doesn't mean Apple TV is.
>Well, it's more the fact that "new" music I refer to is old classics that I hadn't had the chance to ever listen to rather then the new bullshit music if that makes any sense.
No, I get what you mean. I was saying new music as in, 'music new to me'
>are you able to hear this or make out the melodies?
Yeah, I can still hear it. With my hearing these days, words are a bit more difficult to make out (and it doesn't help that this is a non-English song) but I can still listen to this and get a sense for it.
Well, I hope somehow you're hearing deterioration stabilizes so you don't go completely deaf. Sound is a beautiful sense. At the very least you got to hear once.
*your
Thanks, anon. I hope so too.
I don't think Apple TV is doing great considering they were giving away six month free trials for it over the summer. I imagine most people are using their iPads to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ and don't want yet another subscription service. Or at the very least sign up for a month to watch Ted Lasso.
Watched the french original and refuse to acknowledge that an amerimutt remake is eligble for Best Picture award
>It wasn't even *that* Oscar-baity all things considered.
Deaf people are annoying.
I always thought they'd just be regular people who can't hear, but then I ran into some of them online. They basically take pride in being deaf and get offended at the mere idea of curing their disability. Ooops, sorry, now I offended them again, because clearly it's not a disability. But sure, enjoy never hearing your children laugh, not being able to listen to music, or fully enjoy movies, and having to "talk" with your hands. Frick deaf people.
My high school for whatever reason had the highest amount of deaf students in the state, despite otherwise being a regular high school.
They're abrasive, whether they can hear or kind of hear or have implants or whatever, they're just always annoying.
And yeah, that's without even getting into the fact that they usually treat being deaf as like a race or whatever, when it's quite factually a disability and not something you should be "proud" of in the sense that they're more likely to get hit by a fricking bus than you or I and they're happy about it
Yes even midgets aren't as bad as deaf people. Worst community of disabled by far, in terms of their bitterness, hatred, and entitlement.
lol I thought I was the only one who had awful experiences with deaf people online. Interesting it doesn't seem to be just my unlucky experience, fricking entitled c**ts lmao.
No they are notorious for being the most bitter community, they consider the non-deaf to be subhuman
These sound like the capital-D Deaf people who bang on about "muh culture, it's not a disability". Don't lump the rest of us regular deaf people in with the insufferable ones
I sure hope most of you act normal and that I've only encounter a very vocal minority.
They never fricking listen
It's a fine movie, but the best of the year? Come on. It feels like a Hallmark movie. I watched it like 18 months ago and can't remember anything that happened in it other than the main girl being cute.
>The other best-picture nominees were Belfast, Don't Look Up, Drive My Car, Dune, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley, and West Side Story. In its best-picture pursuit, CODA faced a mathematical uphill battle, earning only a pair of other nods in best supporting actor and adapted screenplay.
Did any of those deserve best pic over CODA? No, I'm asking seriously.
Holy shit, what an absolute dogshit year.
drive my car was great
the autotune overuse in her audition scene made me cry.
fricking hell, the whole movie was building up to it and you couldn't just ADR a good performance in, or get it right on-set? it's Joni Mitchell not fricking Wagner.
also it's a remake of a French movie, so frick off, people should watch the original.
It was pretty great
