We Don't Live Here Anymore
"Half-baked insights into the soul of the man you never understood" from the movie, "We don’t live here anymore".
I just cant forget this scene, when Jack lashes accusations on to Terry, his wife, Terry crouches and Jack flashes his brilliance by saying "Don’t give me half-baked insights into the soul of a man you never understood", and wow you think … man this one is it, he has won the argument, when Terry starts repeating what he just said, each time a lil louder and starts lashing back at him and whizzz you just don’t realize how could she beat that.
And so on go the numerous domestic squabbles in life, you know that the arguer has a point but somehow for the sake of argument, certain words were substituted for harsher words, certain incidents were re-sketched with nastier shades and recalled for argument’s sake.
A story of two married couples and the infidelity, which permeates their life, keywords: startling and realistic. The dialogues are powerful and instrumental in bringing the story across, dialogues, which add zing to the riveting confrontations between two of the characters. Character sketches brought to life by brilliant acting, were a delight to watch, especially Terry the accusing, suspicious wife, a disaster as a homemaker, whose life is in a mess because of the nagging doubts regarding her husband’s devotion to her.
