Lily movies with this theme are more common, and sexual orientation is not the only obstacle for the characters in the story, because they have to face the shackles of secular and religious. It is more difficult and helpless than the secular society and cannot be changed. The final choice is to endure, or escape. Judaism is a blind area of my knowledge. If there is any bias in the understanding of this text due to my lack of understanding of the faith, please correct me.
Watching this film popularized the following beans knowledge for myself: men wear kipas (the kind of small round hats); women wear wigs more; "rabbi" refers to those who serve as Jewish spiritual leaders or religious teachers; Jewish calendars The seventh day of the week, which is Saturday, is called the Holy Sabbath, and it is one of the main festivals of Judaism. The Jews keep the Sabbath as a holy day and are not allowed to work.
The official translations of the names of the two heroines in this film are different, but in fact they are both called Rachel~ (useless knowledge has increased!) I originally came to watch this film for Rachel who appeared in "The Favourite", but I didn't expect another Rachel's The acting skills are also amazing, helplessness, reluctance, desire, shame, all emotions are in her eyes.
There is a way of expression that I think is quite interesting. There is a nude scene when describing the marital life of a believer, but the filming is not particularly erotic. The two people are like having an office meeting, and they operate step by step (and every Friday). fixed time schedule).
As for the pair of lily lovers who were forced to separate, the two of them were dressed strictly from beginning to end, but the atmosphere was very erotic. To overflow the screen. This expression method is not unique among similar films, but the contrast effect of this film is particularly obvious, and the director, cameraman, and actors all have bonuses.
As soon as I saw that the teacher at the school was TXL, I was reported by the parents/neighbors/passers-by of the students, and I instantly recited movies from more than 50 years in my mind, such as "Double Sisters", "Blooming Flowers in the Evening", "Darkness Falls", "Darkness" Love a Teacher", "Bloomington" and so on... So "you will bring up bad children like this!" may be a common discrimination method in the world.
Why are so many Ji guys set to be photographers... Is going out with a SLR just like the cabinet door is wide open...
There are two shots I really like in the film, one is behind the shower curtain and the other is behind the frosted glass. This expression is simple and subtle, but it works well. The meaning of the lens as I personally understand it: First, they are all hiding themselves, and the deformed image is like their disguise, which is not their real self; first, they are struggling in their hearts, should they remove the cover and put the cover up? expose yourself to others. However, after this shot, the choices of the two were not the same.
Although there are so many seemingly cheerful complaints, in fact, this film is still very depressing as a whole. The plot once set the stage for HE.
It will be a little unhappy to see such an ending, but I can still understand the intention of the screenwriter and director. The reality is like this film, which occasionally gives you hope, but it is not so easy to change.
======= The following is a summary of the whole spoiler, watch carefully = =======
Rabbi Rev died in the synagogue.
Ronit is Rev's daughter. She was a photographer in New York. When she heard the news of her father's death, she flew back to China and went to the house of Dovid, her father's protégé. Some guests were mourning Rev. Dovid and Esti are married, they and Ronit were friends when they were young. Dovid leaves Ronit to live in his own home, awaiting Rev's funeral.
On Holy Sabbath, Ronit dined with relatives at home, and their ideas were too different in terms of names, offspring, marriage, and jobs. Dinner broke up.
Ronit saw reports of his father's death in the newspapers, saying he was a giant of faith but had no children. Rev left his house to the church, and Ronit could take it away. After all this, Ronit once again felt that as a deviant child, he was still not accepted by his father. She was sad, but the elders couldn't understand her pain and were just accusing her of not taking care of Rev when he was dying.
Esti accompanies Ronit back to his father's house to see his relics. They kissed and recalled the past, it turned out that they were a couple when they were young, because they were not accepted by everyone around, Ronit fled his hometown and lived alone in New York, while Esti was traumatized, Rev persuaded her to marry Dovid and live a life A normal, ordinary, step-by-step life that meets the requirements of most people.
Ronit and Esti's secret kiss is seen by a former acquaintance. Esti was extremely flustered. An acquaintance reported her to the school where Esti taught.
Esti wanted to escape, but she couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw Ronit. The two went to open a room. After a frenzied and unbridled reunion, Esti told her that she was always thinking about what kind of life Ronit lived and how she had been free. Longing but timid.
Dovid knew about Esti being reported at school and he was furious. He wants Esti to be honest with him about everything he thinks about their marriage. Esti told him that she told Ronit that her father had passed away, that she wanted Ronit to come back, that she had always loved Ronit. She can never live honestly.
Seeing that Esti is in pain again, Ronit decides not to attend his father's funeral and leaves immediately. She packed up, went to the airport and slept all night, and woke up Dovid called to say that Esti was missing. Ronit rushes back to find Esti with Dovid. After a day of searching with no results, when I came home at night, I saw Esti at home.
During this time, Esti struggled. She got pregnant, went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, wanted to have an abortion and left with Ronit, but because of her beliefs, she couldn't allow herself to have an abortion. In the evening, she came home and confessed everything to Dovid.
Ronit went to his father's funeral anyway, where it would have been announced that Dovid would take up Rev's mantle as the new rabbi. When he took office, he refused to inherit the Rev. He said to those present and to Esti: We have the right to choose, you are free.
After the funeral, Ronit left his hometown again and returned to New York. Farewell, she wished Esti a happy mother in the future. They were still in love, but they still didn't have the courage to take that step.
Finally, she went to her father's cemetery and took the last photo of her father's tomb, which was also the only photo she took of her father.
