The first time I watched a large-scale lesbian action movie on the big screen, I couldn't help but blush to the bottom of my ears.

Of course, the focus of the movie is not only on the rekindling of their mutual old love. Under the repression of the entire religious culture, this love has become bold, forbearance and impulsive. When two people get along alone, the love in their eyes is like a flood The water in the sponge seeped everywhere.

Because of the background of the film, I checked Judaism. "Judaism is the earliest and oldest religion among the three major monotheistic beliefs in the world, and it is also the way of life and belief of the Jewish people." They serve God by studying and praying, and at the same time Following the commandments in the Torah, the Torah recited by the rabbis constantly appeared in the movie. They did not preach to outsiders, and the extreme closedness and exclusivity of Jewish civilization resulted in the fact that it is still a minority religion. Living in such a traditional community has made this ordinary relationship a taboo, and many shots hope that they can go to New York together.

After Roonet returned to her hometown, it was completely different from the free and easy daily life at the beginning of the movie. As soon as she got off the car to the block, she fastened the button of her neckline and carefully knocked on the door. When old friends met, she felt uncomfortable kissing her cheek habitually. OK. He was obviously a guest from a far-off land despite his father's death. But one thing has not changed, there is still spark between them. Because of this religious culture it makes me feel that their situation is eerily similar to where we live today. We are not a religion, but a deeply ingrained tradition.

A relative in the family asked Runette at the dinner table: "Why aren't you married yet? Are you going to die alone in the future?" It was offensive and rude to offer your opinion.

The next shot of the memory turns to Runette asking Eddie why he got married.

The answer is also due to urging marriage, and then thinking that others are very good, they entered the marriage. It was as if I heard the true story of 28-year-old Lala in a second- and third-tier city in my country. But will marriage change her sexual orientation? She still likes women. Is this behavior considered cheating? But the character of the husband in the movie is very beautiful and naive. Before he got married, he knew that she and Runette had been in love. In his heart, he thought that keeping her by his side could change, but in the end he let her free.

When Runette took her on the subway to another place, it was like going to freedom at that moment. After escaping from that block and crossing the zebra crossing, she could hold hands unconsciously, and she couldn't help but pull her to the red on the corner of the street. A kiss on the brick wall. Later, she released her lust in the room. I think for her, this was not only a sex with Roonet, but a kind of courage to let go of her marriage, religion, work, and life.

When I saw the end of the movie, I was surprised that she was more forbearing and attractive. I also have a preference for this role. From the beginning, she pretended to be calm when she saw you, but she told you of your father's death. She pretends to be a devout believer, accompanies you to enter your father's house to check the relics and kisses you actively. Runette blames herself for coming back sooner, but she hugs you tightly and says you shouldn't leave.

In the back, she spoke out to her husband about the freedom she really wanted, preferring to live alone with her children in a place of choice. The whole film seems to witness the growth of a woman's consciousness, breaking free from all restraints and running towards freedom.

Runette is the unforgettable guide in your life who will show you the sweet love of your youth.

But you are the knight in your life who bravely went to freedom for yourself.

May you live a long life.

Disobedience quotes

  • [first lines]

    Rav Krushka: In the beginning, Hashem made three types of creatures, the angels, the beasts, and the human beings. The angels, He made from His pure word. The angels have no will to do evil. They cannot deviate for one moment from His purpose. The beasts have only their instincts to guide them. They, too, follow the commands of their maker. The Torah states that Hashem spent almost six whole days of creation fashioning these creatures. Then, just before sunset, He took a small quantity of earth and from it He fashioned man and woman. An afterthought? Or His crowning achievement? So, what is this thing? Man? Woman? It is a being with the power to disobey. Alone among all the creatures we have free will. We hang suspended between the clarity of the angels and the desires of the beasts. Hashem gave us choice, which is both a privilege and a burden. We must then choose the tangled life we live.
