“After the show, everyone was backstage and was starting to leave and so forth. And I went back out into the arena and the roadies were all there doing the load out and Joni Mitchell’s sitting at the piano all by herself, the house lights on and everything. And I just went up and started taking pictures of her at the piano—How did she like that?—Mmm [laughs] Yeah, she loved it.”—Richard Upper, 2021.
“I felt exposed, like I couldn’t have people in the room witnessing me. I couldn’t really be around people. I felt too vulnerable. I felt like everybody could see into me and see that I was suffering.”—Joni Mitchell, Los Angeles Times, 2021.

This film has been extraordinarily made. I cried so much watching this film. I watched it after the Oscars Awards 2022 and I’m thankful that it’s not too late for me to recognize and congratulate this kind of team. They made me realize that life is beautiful and everything is beautiful, it’s up to you how you’ll look upon it. This film is indeed a trendsetter. Imagine being the first film made by a streaming service to win the highest award in Oscars? Just great. (Though sometimes Oscars do not recognize other great films). Just to add, the stream/river scene reminded me of All The Bright Places, it was just amazing and wonderful The singing interpretation part to Joni Mitchell’s song is a masterpiece, I remember the Emma Thompson scene in Love Actually and I bet not everyone has seen or heard the song, it’s very very highly recommended to add on your playlist.
CODA (2021)
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
