Let's Move


I wanted to watch this movie called "Don't Move" for a long time and finally i watched "Non ti mouvere" last week ; truthfully i didn't enjoy it at all;
i don't want to put the  technical side of the movie in the spotlight ;but it's really noticeable the people trying to make a movie about medical subject do not consider the very basic rules of the profession and atmosphere;
the story can be summarized as this :Main Character Timoteo is a neurosurgeon whose daughter(Angela) crashes in a motorcycle accident;the incident revokes memories of his torrid relationship with Italia(Penelope Cruz) woman from slums in the periphery of a big city;the affair leads to internal conflict with his wife Elsa.
While getting prepared to leave Elsa The  news about Elsa's pregnancy ;made Timo change his mind and stay with his wife but continues his relationship with Italia as a parallel run;
Putting horrible scenes about surgery;hospital;physician aside;i have a real ethical and conceptual problem with this movie (and similar contexts);i agree love is a real rare and precious enjoyable experience of lifetime and it's not that unusual it doesn't appear in a marriage; the couples carry on as a senseless burden but it's nothing dramatic or admirable and i believe it's not that detestable as you run a family ahead as long as you play separate roles as husband/wife and parents/children.i believe Don't Move (i found which title not that poetic or even relevant) is praising an impulsive experience which leads to a couple of nasty scenes in the movie;i really tried to discover the aesthetics of this extramarital relationship;honestly can't help reducing it to simple impulsive hasty insane act of a simple man ; what is more remorseful is that it's the exact point the movie is praising;foolish acts Angela is the victim of which,a marriage is  slaughtered for;...
Lets say this movie is in praise of frailty...a father leaves her daughter in OR near death chasing the ghost of beloved mistress and sex object and the audience must worship the exquisite role of lust i assume.
