My cousin in Vancouver messaged me last night with a screenshot of the new ‘Deafening’ movie poster – the one with the three characters walking away from the courthouse. Underneath it, she’d written: ‘This looks amazing, but the trailer keeps buffering. Guess I’ll have to wait until I visit home next year.’
That message hit me harder than I expected. I remember when we were teenagers, we’d huddle around her laptop watching Chinese dramas together, sharing headphones during family gatherings. Now, with her in Canada and me in Beijing, even something as simple as watching the same movie trailer has become complicated.
The movie itself seems powerful – a CODA lawyer navigating the deaf community’s legal struggles. The way the description talks about him ‘standing at the crossroads of conscience and profit’ – it’s exactly the kind of story that would resonate with my cousin, who works with immigrant communities in Vancouver.
What struck me about the poster details was how they captured different perspectives. The背影 (back view) of the three characters walking away, each with their own posture – the lawyer confident, the others in supporting roles. It made me think about how we all view Chinese culture from different angles when we’re overseas.
My cousin told me she first heard about the movie through Weibo, but when she clicked the trailer link, it either wouldn’t load or played in frustrating 5-second bursts. ‘It’s like watching a movie through a keyhole,’ she said. For her, it’s not just about entertainment – it’s about staying connected to the cultural conversations happening back home.
The October 4th release date means she’ll likely see social media fill with reviews and discussions while she’s still trying to figure out how to watch it. It’s these small disconnections that add up – missing out on the shared experience of watching something when everyone else is talking about it.
There’s something particularly ironic about a movie focused on accessibility and inclusion being geographically inaccessible to part of the Chinese diaspora. The lawyer in the film is bridging gaps in understanding, while technical barriers are creating new ones for overseas viewers.
When I video-called my cousin this morning, she was making tea in her Toronto apartment. ‘Remember how we used to watch everything together?’ she asked. I did remember – and it made me realize how much we take for granted being able to access our own culture’s content. Maybe that’s why this particular movie’s access issues felt so personal.
