It gave me chills but then soon after i had tears streaming down my face. I look forward to more from this writer/director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-12838751953003859612021-02-25T16:31:56.222-05:002021-02-25T16:31:56.222-05:00Ok then I will see the film.

But I think the things you're highlighting are actually meaningful disconnects that a Jewish person will get from the film that I clearly missed! The treatment of a body as an object sounds purposeful here, for sure.Jason Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254334131909339157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-64907182454426092632021-02-25T16:11:23.594-05:002021-02-25T16:11:23.594-05:00There is a difference.

Does Jewish law say a corpse is property? I don't know. Admittedly I also don't really know the plot of the film so maybe there is some other interpretation here. As a Jew my reaction is it would seem strange to pay someone to sit with a body, or to have anyone who isn't a family member sort of hang around. But maybe someone knows more than me - always a risk when one is of Hebrew origin :-).

He's a paid guardian entrusted with the body, until the rituals can be performed on the body. Shiva comes later, I think? Admittedly I am not Jewish!
