Throughout the entire film, we barely learn who died. Their whole focus is on themselves, particularly Danielle’s appearance, weight, relationship status and career. Nothing that actually matters in life. They recite the mourner’s Kaddish at the end, a profound prayer about creating the kingdom of heaven on earth. Their focus on the superficial keeps them in their own little hell, in what could and should be a loving and supportive cultural community. And it leaves a sensitive young woman trying to find her way feeling suffocated and lost.

Good to see this channel up and running, again. You should make more reviews on classic movies like the one on "The Seventh Seal". Anyway, keep it up bud. And I watched this movie with my daughter last week. Didn't think I'd like it, but I did. Even more so, now that i've seen your video. Cheers
