Uma razão para viver (2011)

The most brilliant line in there...today is the day the ones who died yesterday so desperately want. How true! For such a simple quiet movie I am left with so many conflicting thoughts on the rightness or wrongness of the death penalty, the futileness of rehabilitation or forgiveness for the sociopaths out there who will never have any concept of, remorse for, or understanding of, the damage they have caused, the blind ideology of forgiving those who have sinned against someone in the most brutal of ways, the cruelty to children that in many cases is the root cause for the mayhem and self-destruction these people create, the lifetime of quiet desperation, grief, unbearable anger, and the eternal lack of resolution that is left to the loved ones of the victims. A very thought provoking movie.
This movie, in some ways, was even more conflicting than Maundy Tuesday because it was hard to have any sense of understanding or empathy for the young man since he was such a sociopath. The inability to have any feelings of right or wrong or anything past their own idea of what they want is so un-understandable! Prison nor rehabilitation will not help because there is some (I believe) mental/physical defect in them that prevents normal feelings of empathy, love, compassion...the basic feelings a human should have. It is most certainly a disability as true as manic depression or schizophrenia, but nearly impossible to treat. How can you teach someone to have something they are genetically predisposed not to possess? This movie will raise emotions in you, I guarantee it. It is beautifully written and acted. I highly recommend it.

I would not watch it again myself because it is too painful. Don't remember the music at all.

Its okay not to forgive

This is really a good movie it made cry so much also the actress played jimin really did a great job. She just made me feel lot of emotions and i just felt her pain. To the people who couldn’t get this movie: well in those days male dominance and hierarchy played major role in child abuse. If you have noticed in the movie jimin and her brother would drop hints like how their father abused both of them without any reason but justified it in the name of discipline for example jimin is a smart girl who got into a prestigious school which is what her father wanted but she still got abused.which means she doesn’t even know why she was abused when she does all the things he asked for , she couldn’t accept it and started to stand up herself ,one of reasons why she couldn’t forgive them. Also in the end (in the scene where she visits parents with the Paternity test) she figured out that her father abuses her when he has a bad day which is a crime also the worst part is he use the word discipline to hide behind his crimes instead of reflecting on it. All she wanted was a reason (why he abused her) from him=a reason to live. (You would know if you watch the movie )
