    I don't know much about sign language, but it seems that her translator also deserves a huge round of applause. He is a mental athlete! She was talking so fast and he could not only translate, but also convey her humor and emotions so well, he makes it look so easy !

    I'm glad they set up the interview this way. I used to get so irritated when the interviewer would ask Marlee a question and then look at the interpreter as they answered. I was like "Why aren't you looking at Marlee? She's the one talking!"
    This was the way it should be, Stephen focusing on her.

    I love the way they did the interpreting on this, really allows focus on her. I'm so used to seeing sign interpreters interpreting other people's words, so nice to see this reversed. I don't understand ASL, only a bit of Auslan, but it was really easy to follow exactly what she was signing with the way this was interpreted & I noticed for the first time there are a few cross over words between Auslan & ASL, "interpreter" in particular I noticed is identical. A few signs the same but with completely different meanings in the 2 languages too

    Seeing more deaf representation like with this movie just warms my heart so much. An old friend of mine was deaf and he felt extremely isolated since even his family didn't bother to learn sign language, even just fingerspelling. I learned so much about how ignorant I'd been, just like the rest of the world, about what it's like to be deaf.

      I knew Marlee since the day I was on the set at Children of a Lesser God (as an extra actor). Just recently, even though I already knew that she was very kind to everyone including myself---but just recently I was floored to hear that Marlee once told the interviewer that she was not interested in gossip about how great the kiss was when she got it from co-star in Mark Harmon during the filming. She even said this to the interviewer "I'm being paid to kiss." Nothing more. Plus Marlee told the interviewer that she felt so sorry for the interviewer's husband for gossip stuff. Now, Marlee has my big-time respect from that day.

      Many many (MANY! lol) hearing people call what Jack was doing "translating". So, no worries. Translating actually means taking something written in one language and "translating" to a different written language. What Jack is doing is called Interpreting. It is literally the most difficult kind of Interpreting. He is seeing ASL (which is a completely different language than English) and interpreting it to spoken English. Simultaneously! It's hard enough to do that with two different spoken languages, ex Spanish to English. But, to do that with a visual language to a spoken language... well, some Neurolinguistic researchers have called it "impossible". Theoretically, of course. But, it happens and it's amazing. I've done it myself for the last 40 years. It's thrilling on so many levels.

    This was an amazing movie . I've watched it so many times.. Marlee is an amazing actress. And the whole.ensemble was magical to watch . The actress playing Ruby killed it in her emotions.. ASL is more then just signing with your hands it's a whole body language.. and I felt it every single time I watch .

    Can we take a moment to applaude....well....all the role players here?
    1) Marlee...for being so easy-going, humourous, smart, and completely comfortable with the hearing world. It is more than I can say about the Hearers toward the deaf.
    2) Stephen, for being so relaxed and gracious. Interviewed her like any regular guest. If the camera was focused on him only, I'd just assume it was a regular interview with a male guest.
    3) The unsung hero: the interpreter. Need I say more? It was flawless. Always one step ahead. Articulate. And kept it flowing.
    Was such an amazing, yet regular interview. You would have to credit all the roleplayers for the effortless synchrony.

    As a disabled person, I have so much love and appreciation for actors with various disabilities. It is far too often that characters are written to be disabled and then an able-bodied actor “plays” disabled. I hope with this kind of representation that will become a thing of the past because truly the industry is missing out on so many talented people by overlooking them for their disability.

  • @mel_teez
    @mel_teez 2 роки тому +7

    I will watch the movie as soon as I can, because it sounds wonderful!
    But I think it is a kind of remake/inspired by the french film "La famille Bélier", which is also about a deaf family, kind of relying on their hearing daughter, who wants to follow her passion of singing. A very emotional, beautiful film that moved me to tears.
    I am sure CODA will be great though, I am looking forward to watching it :)

    • @jamieharrison3609
      @jamieharrison3609 2 роки тому +2

      “La famille Belier” is a decent movie in the eyes of people who can’t really tell the difference between hearing actors acting deaf and deaf actors in roles of deaf characters however “la famille belier” caused massive outrage as they were an all hearing cast, CODA has rectified this and included deaf actors in the roles they should rightly be performing and CODA has received many rewards and nominations whereas la famille belier did not fare as well. It shows what good and correct casting can do and the talent of deaf actors.
      (P.s I hope you found this interesting and you enjoy watching CODA and have a lovely day wherever you are.)

      @@juliad368 They do give the movie a shout out. On the multiple press functions they mention the inspiration. Even at the Oscars the screenplay award stated the movie it was based on. A lot of American movies are remakes of international films, I also believe the creators of the original were producers on the American version.

    As long as disabled actors don't get picked for roles where the disability has little to no influence on the story, then able-bodied actors should not get disabled roles. Said by me, someone who uses a wheelchair at times. I still remember an actor in the series Las Vegas. A background character who used a wheelchair. Not because the scene needed one. He was just there.

      I think it was Madam Secretary (one of those white house shows if not that one) had an office staff member background extra who was in a wheelchair too, clearly they just gave the part to a person in a wheelchair, cause, why not? That's how it should be! (but for main parts as well)

    You know, people of all backgrounds are being held back as a unit, so there's no longer a stable baseline as to the notion that people of any background can do a wide range of things. Therefore, it makes more sense to remove the qualification that people who are deaf specifically are capable of doing anything and apply that statement to everybody as a unit. We must always make a part of our thoughts and our actions the idea that we are individually and collectively capable of great things.

    Marlee is so amazing in so many ways! She was absolutely correct in putting her foot down for Deaf actors! As an Interpreter for 40 years, I can't even watch movies that use hearing actors and hoping we'll buy that they're fluent in ASL! It's painful. Most hearing people will be clueless, of course, but Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks, as well as Hearing who are fluent in ASL are not an insignificant group. Just like we no longer use make up to make white actors look Asian, or Latinx etc, it's also inappropriate to put Hearing people in Deaf roles. Brava Ms Matlin!

    She makes my heart smile. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with her happening to be deaf. I think that she's a remarkable lady. She's so intelligent, witty, natural, beautiful, and sexy! If you'd like to see a fantastic documentary, she stars in one of my favorites called What the Bleep do we know? ( Down the Rabbit Hole) about Quantum Theory. She's as superb in it as she is in everything else that she does.
