shocking record of the crimes they have two young boys (12 and 22 years), allowing the child to its mother. The film shows a period of 12 months prior to their arrest, especially the last few days, and during the investigation until it is stopped by the police. The author does not focus on sensational thread, but trying to concentrate on the psychological stratum, recreating the atmosphere of home, psychological portraits of the brothers and their mother, the future victims ... In the background we see the environment in which
lived This thoroughly ordinary, humble family. There were no indications that there will be a tragedy. It will not be in this movie epatowania cruelty, nor brutal literalism, even though the author does not give up artistic means, as applied by the criminal thriller movies. The screenplay is based on facts .
not always given to us is to know the cause of the crime, not every situation can be clarified. Sometimes you have to be the understatement and the doubt and just accept reality.
I became such a proposal last night after watching the debut of Polish director, Paul Hall. Mr. Paul gives us 13 months in the life of an ordinary family, which many in Poland. Previewing their everyday starting from an unusual event - the two sons killed his mother. Every scene is going back for another few months. Show the important and less important events, which experienced members of this family. We can understand each character, see her reaction, the nature, needs and problems.
I had the impression that at some point in this journey into the past, the director shows us a more specific cause, which led the two young people to matkobójstwa. I was waiting for an explanation of this cruel crime - it could hurt their mother or father, or is there some other reason, which did not fell into.
But I got no explanation and I was slightly annoyed when the movie ended. Zastawiałam up, plugged the fragments, because I hoped that the explanation is so much that I do not notice. And suddenly dawned on me that's the point here is that there always exists only one reason for the tragedy. When we ask ourselves the question: "whether it was possible to prevent it?" to respond, we would know the theme, which led to Arthur - the younger son - and many other side quests.
Maybe Arthur had mental problems, may experience some harm in childhood, and perhaps that damage suffered by his life, and she slowly evolved and led to a big, growing angry.
Paul Hall very clearly presented the slow decline of the family:
FATHER - A soldier who returned from the war. They say that war changes people, but we do not know what was before. Since we know where it is becoming more closed, silent alienated. Family sees his body but the soul and thoughts are elsewhere. At the end of the house literally disappears.
MOTHER - elegant woman, always busy with work or tired, colorless, melancholy. Alone bears the problems of everyday life and can not deal with them. Each day becomes more and more sad and scared. The only thing he can muster the self, the concern and care for cats, which embraces the house. It's easier to deal with animals and do not shed your love than to solve problems with people that no one seems to have noticed.
ARTHUR - elder son and brother, full of grief, anger and grievances. We do not know where these feelings in him. Believes that it has supernatural powers which enable it to dominate the mind of people. Sometimes I was sorry for him, and sometimes wysłałabym him to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
MARCIN - younger son and brother. Very fascinated by Arthur. He believes in everything he says, admires him uncritically. It is as if invisible, no one counts with his opinion.

Basil is still small, about which I think everybody has forgotten outside Teresa's friend, who in them and cares pomieszkuje girl.

Depicted above people legally constitute a family, but emotionally they are very far removed from each other. There are no interviews, no common meals, there was some kind of separation, which do not seem to see, but do not see really do not know.
When in our life there is a problem, an obstacle, it is usually the result of our previous decisions and choices, so you should take responsibility for them and solve them. When we stop notice a problem, be born again and again until they lost in a thicket, so much so that limited us, the darkness and fear.

noteworthy to show the difference in the operation of the family as an example of sex between spouses, who 12 months earlier was a spontaneous desire, love, joy, and after that time has become mechanical, instrumental, task, and most importantly he was bargaining for ościągnięcia own goal and a lifeline.

There are many such families. It's just that they do not see, because that is not visible from the outside, and who would like to look deeper, when we have our problems. That is the reality and it made me sad.

room very well presented realities. The film is, despite the lack of bloody scenes, shocking. For me, this shock came after several hours and is still ongoing.

There are no optimistic version, pretending, coloring, or hope, so if you prefer not to know and live in safe unconscious, he did not watch.

"Husband and Wife"

Husband and wife - that's proud! You can hear this expression, respect, dignity, community, unity and love. But how many couples can boast of meeting all these conditions? Does the passing of years do not look differently at our companion in life, if at all even look at him?

Reading the book "Husband and Wife" asks many such questions to which no answers. It forces us to reflect on themselves, the partner, the relationship, on our advantages and disadvantages. It also shows that nothing is given to us once and for all that they do not always have the irrevocable right to everything we have, and most importantly - that you can not hold another man.

my opinion Zeruya Shalev - Israeli writer - perfectly demonstrates the laws governing the relationship between two people and the impact of our behavior is what we have in life happens.
know the title characters in their own home. The word "home" evokes associations such as asylum, safe and warm. However, these adjectives can not be describe the state house in Newman. Here we feel tension, unexpressed resentment, anger and mutual resentment, which for years grow layer by layer. One morning the husband - Udi - after returning from another trip, which is an expression of escape from the house, can not get out of bed, can not move any part of his body. Since then, the marriage Na'amy and Udiego "something" starts very slowly changing. The whole shaky structure, which formed a year, it becomes less stable. The disease is an incentive to wake up from sleep and is an incentive to seek the cause the existence of a state in which they find themselves. After recovering Udiego, Na'ama still trying to maintain what had crashed. Desperately to convince myself that it is not so bad, that everything else could it be otherwise, but the husband does not give her the choice, placing it a fait accompli.
Only at the moment when the Na'ama be alone with my thoughts begin to understand the errors that they committed, getting to know yourself and your tastes. Paradoxically, therefore, what initially seemed like a tragedy, it was good that opens his eyes.
The book Shaley I saw many truths, many dependencies that made me so impressed that they can not logically describe, although I finished reading the book over a week ago.
Perhaps the most struck me is that man does not know how strong it is until she gets in a situation in which this force requires. When nothing changes, and each day is the same, one can not see what we are doing badly or inappropriately. We think about it well, we see fault in others, others want to change its own image, forgetting that each person is entitled to their own opinion and way of life, different than ours. To change or development, we often need the stimulus. Then we start to look for other solutions and ways of life.
Shalev shows that it is wrong to live in unhealthy symbiotic relationship with another man, because we make him responsible for our lives, our mood and choices. And no one has the strength to be responsible for two lives.
So let us not forget that each of us creates a separate entity and only tolerance, respect and lack of dependence, we will help create a growing relationship.

In describing this book should not forget about the specific form that used the author. The entire novel is one great thought. It lacks dots, question marks and dashes during the dialogues, and is more than enough commas. At first I could not get used to this and a little irritated me that form, but with each new party more in the form of wczuwałam Na'amy lost and I felt that what I read this flight of ideas, play scenes that can not be arranged in such a chaotic and permeated the life of illusion.
After reading this, I consider that this treatment was aimed to reproduce the nature of history and Udiego Na'amy.

recommend those who have something in life is still missing, including those who are dissatisfied with their relationship and they seek the cause in the second person, to those who are interested in relationships between people, as well as those who simply want to know the ordinary-extraordinary story.
