-yes the movie gives very powerful messages about taking control of your life, being wherever you fell comfortable, choosing the path even if it is full of pain and struggles, not fitting in is a phenomena to avoid....I get all these messages the movie presents.
But At the same time I feel sorry for the Yakov too. He is also not free in his choices. his relations and decisions are strictly controlled by the community he belongs. He is not aware of the immaturity on sex, social relations etc. so I feel sorry for Yakov. Yes he did talk about the divorce, but at the end he was not aware of the inclosure he lived in. So every decision should be understood within the conditions that take place. I cannot neglect the character as the script did, and I think for a man that is ready to change himself and even resign from religious duties, he was as brave as Esther. At the end he was ready to take a step outside of his comfort zone.
