The movie "The Bubble" had good review when it was screened during the Taipei Film Festival so I decided to see this movie when it was out in theater. The box office was not good, though, due to a rave about Cape No. 7 in the past few weeks. Several foreign films that would have received a greater audience, have been forced out of the theater much sooner than expected. Good job Cape No. 7. There aren't really any good foreign movies that I really want to see in theater now anyway except The Bubble (this is me being selfish).
This Hebrew-speaking (sometimes Arabic-speaking) film is directed by Eytan Fox, who also directed Walk on Water and Yossi and Jagger. It is a melange of comedy and tensions. It highlights the never-ending conflicts between the Jewish people and Arabic people in Israel, as well as a love people from these two sides can have for each other, even between two men.
Reality hurts, I have to say this after seeing the movie. Sometimes there is something we can never change in ourselves. It is predestined in our lives. We may be able to change it and run away from it, but when we are faced with the cruelty of the reality, we may give in to it, and follow the path the destiny has paved for us. Then the bubble bursts.
