interesting contrast

When I just watched the movie, I thought it was a little interesting, but not a big one.

But when I think about it later, a little bit of a difference emerges.

When Otilia is forced to have a relationship with a doctor, it feels very special. Even in Eastern Europe, which is more open in this regard, it is still a bit difficult to understand such a condition that is almost equivalent to rape. The sacrifice for a friend is too great. right? And he is such a confused and somewhat selfish friend.

By the time Otilia and her boyfriend were discussing the matter in the room, it all came naturally: such a sacrifice, but also because of her empathy. At this time, Otilia may also have a child who is regarded as a burden in her stomach.

Maybe what you do now is the way to go in the future.




Conversely, the doctor, is he despicable and shameless? Yes, a gentleman should not take advantage of others' dangers.

Is he inexcusable at all? not necessarily.

Remember that scene with the key delivery? The woman he was speaking to made it difficult to see her face and her relationship with him. Maybe a wife, maybe a mother. If it is the mother, it is very likely that he does not have a wife.

After the operation, he patted Gabita's knee and said he could be called if there was anything. Maybe, this is just a statement; maybe, he wants to make something; maybe, he wants to pay a little responsibility.

Besides, Gabita's confusion and rashness really made him take a lot more risk.



Good and evil are sometimes not as incompatible as they seem at first glance.
