A Telling Film With A Clear Message

I was impressed by what this film had to say about life and particularly the family.

I can see why the main character wanted to get out of the family business. In the business world and in many businesses in particular, it is a pressure cooker and a rat race. The man wanted to have a better and a more stable lifestyle, which he got by moving to another nation, owning and managing a restaurant, getting married, and having a family.

Unfortunately, his father committed suicide. It was fine that he helped out with his family upon his father's death. On the other hand, he should not have left his marriage and restaurant business go down the drain. He allowed his mother to turn him against his wife, a fine woman who loved and cared for him. The mother was just an overly dominant woman who wanted her way and who did not care who she hurt to get it. The main character lacked the fortitude and strength to repel this advance by the mother. As I've stated, this produced grave consequences. The main character could and should have helped for a while and then went back to his restaurant and family. The movie revealed that the state of the business wasn't good. The ruthless of the business world was shown. The main character's wife obviously did not care of any of what was going on.

Movie shows how one must balance his or her life and priorities.
