Freedom is everyone's right to choose

The narrative sequence is brilliant, even if you know the subject matter, you can still use the details of the past to create suspense, and the plot is laid out with great patience, so that the character dialogue in every drama conflict is natural and real, which is empathetic. For example, Esti asked for When you're free, like Dovid says you're all free, etc.

I like the way this film handles intimacy scenes. It does not use photography aesthetics to beautify forbidden love like many LGBT films in the past, but chooses to use as plain a lens as possible to interpret such feelings as no different from love between the opposite sex. Behind this is the progress of concepts and consciousness, and the great confidence of creators in LGBT love and freedom.

Also a plus point is the presentation of the cultural issues of the community. Just taking a few subway stops is like crossing the centuries to the contemporary free London. It is not difficult to see the cultural islands formed by racial communities hinder the progress of freedom and equality. . Multi-ethnic coexistence is easy, but the problem of value integration is a long and difficult issue, which is an important issue for many excellent European films.

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.
