    The narrative style is the same as the novel, and the actors' performances are quite good. It shows a lot of fragments of life in the traditional Jewish community, a completely unfamiliar...

    It's boring from beginning to end, but this protagonist is really handsome (¯﹃¯). . . Just look at the photos of them and the director attending the event - in fact, the butcher shop owner is also very cute. . ....

    The second movie I watched this week that tells the story of the closet man, and it's all Israeli movies. In a country with such a strong religious atmosphere, the closet man can actually be understood. However, the artificial traces of the plot are too heavy, which is basically expected, and there is no surprise. The relationship between the two people is a bit too natural, and the emotional burst is not enough. At the same time, the sadness of the death of the hero at the end is not...

    It’s on TV, but the plot is nothing new. It's just that the atmosphere is very good, the picture is calm and cold, and the music is bleak and cold. For the Jewish people under the cover of religious gloom, it may be more difficult to find true love than we are. Three and a...

    Personal review



    Personal comment:

    Israel’s gay movies are not uncommon, including the familiar "My Lover in the Army" and "The Bubble", etc.; but these films are all directed by Japanese directors and directed by authentic Israelis. Gay movies are not common. This movie is an example.

    Israel believes in Judaism....

    Unexpectedly, it was such a choice in the end

    Their lives are indeed very conservative. Until now, in the 21st century, religion still controls their thoughts so severely. The whole society is too depressing. This is also a world that the movie shows us. It is very painful. Compared with them, I feel that the society in which I live is much...

Eyes Wide Open quotes

  • Rabbi Vaisben: [translated] He who dwells in abstinence is a sinner. A man who prevents himself from drinking wine is a sinner. He makes a sacrifice. Why? God doesn't want a man to suffer. He shouldn't cause himself sorrow. Why has God created the world? To make good for us, to ease our souls.

    Aaron Fleischman: Rabbi, this doesn't satisfy me. He who drinks wine doesn't want to deal with the challenge. Worshipping God is an everyday duty. It means loving the difficulties. Being a slave of God means loving the hardship.

  • Aaron Fleischman: [translated] Restrain yourself. Restrain yourself. We have an opportunity to rise, to overcome, to fulfill our destiny in this world. This challenge wouldn't have come to us if we couldn't face it.
