A film of understandment of each other, thats how i see this film.
When we enter the lives of a Jewish middle class family in the summer of 1969, we see a semi happy family. The mother, Pearl, is a content housewife, convince that she should be happy with what she has. The daughter, Alison, a teenager who is convince she knows whats good for her. The father, Marty, believing that what he gave up in his youth was worth it.
Pearl, who discovers that she can make her husband any other then what he is, get caught up in an affair with the blouse man, Walker. During the affair, Pearl constantly seeks her old feelings that she use to have with her husband, that she now shares with Walker.
Alison, also tries to grasps life for all she get out of it, boys, concerts, rebelling against the man. But soon she sees that her mother is also trying to seeks all of life riches, again.
Without a doubt, My fave scene. Marty confronts Pearl, struggling to believe that she would do that after all he gave up. Like any man when this happens, rage takes over and a want to make the other person feel like they do.
Alison finally grows up and sees her birth as almost a reason why this all happened. Her birth was the result of a uncontrollable attraction between her mother and father in their teens. Her father convinced her that what happened between them was love at first sight, and he would not have had it any other way. Alison accepts this, but still shows how young she is by not seeing why they can't make their marriage work.
In the end, you sense that although Marty will never fully forgive Pearl for what she did, that they love each other, and Marty was willing to do anything to stay with her, even if it means dancing to her beat.
Everyone can connect with someone in this movie, Pearl, Marty, Alison, even Daniel the little brother. Every parent only wants there children to have what they didn't, even if it's as simple as a childhood. Everyone wants a bit more then what they have. Everyone questions what they must of done in their to end up where they are now.And Everyone never really lets go of their child/teen-hood.
