The dress is a little prom-like, but I like the colour! I also like his deep plum suit.

The colour matching is nonexistent, but at least they don't seem to mind.

SUNDANCE 2025: Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore

Marlee Matlin is badass and proves daily that you are more than what people think you are https://wp.me/p2v8yf-6Op #marleematlin #documentary #sundance

As a human who has been othered my entire life as a Black woman, stories about individuals defying the odds despite what my obviously look like a hinderance to success always strike a chord.  Especially when history is made in the process of proving everyone around you wrong. When most cinephiles think of a film centered around deafness, it is 1962’s “The Miracle Worker,” which resulted in Oscar…

CODA

The climactic scene in the auditorium where we see the parents' reaction to Ruby's duet is an incredible scene, but the one that won the Academy Award for Best Picture is the one where Emilia Jones's simultaneous singing in English and American Sign Language in her audition.

There is an interesting intersection between Ruby's experience as the ASL interpreter for her family and the child immigrant's experience in their third culture as the English interpreter for non-English speaking parents in the US.

CODA (2021), dir. Sian Heder.

So I I finally got to watch CODA, the winner of the Best Film category of last year's Academy Awards. I was genuinely curious about this film because I didn't understand how it won the Oscar over the other powerhouses in the category, and after watching it... I'm still quite confused. It's a cute film for sure and has a lot of heart and great performances, but it's still far from what I consider to be the Best Picture type-of-film.

The Oscar staple mark of awarding just one type of film has made the award show so predictable that making any film other than The Power of the Dog the winner was unthinkable. But guess that was not the case. Still a really cute film and a high recommend for anyone that enjoys light hearted family drama.

actually you know what? i absolutely love tusken sign language. i think it's fucking fantastic how we're able to see that type of thing, especially with characters that we don't see expressions for most of the time. as a person who knows (american) sign language myself, a lot of signing is based off of non-manual signals, relying on a lot of facial expressions and often times exaggerated movements in order to get things across clearly. the tuskens way of signing doesn't rely on facial expressions, which i think is so interesting. the tuskens understood din as he signed, and since their facial expressions aren't perfectly clear either, i think it's fascinating how their language doesn't rely on non-manual signals. the creator of the tusken sign language (troy kotsur!!) is Deaf and his development of the language is so interesting to explore, especially since he said that he created TSL to be completely different than ASL. he said "My goal was to avoid ASL. I made sure it became Tusken Sign Language based on their culture and environment." and that's BEYOND interesting to explore more into. i wish to see more, and even expand on tusken culture or just signing and the cultures surrounding it in star wars. i think we could've gotten so much more if disney weren't cowards, and i just love to think about how diverse the star wars galaxy really is and how much inclusion we can see in that.
