In fact, the whole movie was a bit boring, except for the last scene which changed my opinion.
Aaron's performance makes me uncomfortable. I always feel that he is not honest enough and hides. It’s the same with Sarah. He has seen the photo. He knows that Sarah and the man love each other, but they are righteously preaching to others. In fact, what he does is even more forbidden in that society. I don’t know him. What do you think in your heart when educating others. Maybe he was also very contradictory, so he rejected Ezri, but after all, he couldn't match his feelings.
If Ezri does not leave, will he eventually confess everything to the public and his wife? Needless to say, everyone feels it, but whether he can face it openly is a leap and challenge of his own. He is a tangled person, unable to give up Ezri, and unable to give an account of his deep-rooted religious values. Compared with the relatively free and easy Ezri, Aaron struggled more. This may be one reason why he finally chose to die.
But for his death, my first feeling was because of love, not my own "sin". Ezri is gone, his life has lost its color since then, and he cannot bear such a life. He confessed in front of the old man because Ezri had life in his life, which he had never had before. And when Ezri left, Aaron said to his wife that he didn't leave, he just wanted to stay here, he was controlled by (desire? thought?). I was very angry at the time. How can I say one thing here, say another thing there? Does he love Ezri or not, can he forget everything, return to real life, and continue to live happily with his wife and children? But when he never looked up in the baptismal pool, I realized that he really chose to betray his fate. Suicide was used to resist all the grief and anger that was pressing on him.
That's how I understood it at the time. So the attitude towards him has also changed.
But as a man, with so many children and wives to support, how can he just leave? at this point. . . I don't like it very much. In layman's terms, can it be said that with the intervention of a third party, Aaron's apricot went out of the wall, causing a period of disputes, and there was a lot of discussion in the streets, and finally brought to death? This may be a long way to go. What is true love? Is it necessary to give up when true love appears? Is it right to continue living with someone you no longer love? Is it just for responsibility to give up your love? With children and family love, it doesn’t matter, only the responsibility is the heaviest? Treating gay love and heterosexual love equally, then this issue of love may be difficult to discuss clearly in other more open countries in Israel.
In this film, it is estimated that the focus is still on showing us the tragic fate of homosexuality in this too conservative Jewish diocese.
Maybe Aaron wants to go with Ezri and get out of here, but he has a family and he can't do what he wants. But he committed suicide in the end. Didn't he leave the family with no one to take care of the child? Where is the sense of responsibility? It doesn't make sense. Did he decide to die in the pool where Ezri had soaked when he told his wife that he could not leave? Could it be that he didn't want to live anymore when he looked at Ezri's leaving back? No way, I can't brake the car, I'm tired of thinking too much, I always feel that he can't survive because of the loss of Ezri. . .
