We Need to Talk About Dad

Watch Online : (SOCKSHARE) Video Link :We Need to Talk About Dad (Channel 4, 21 November 2011)
The Johnson family appeared to have it all after two decades of happy marriage: professional success, a beautiful house in Kent, flaxen-haired children...
Locals jokingly referred to them as a 'Sunday Supplement Family'. But one day Nick told his wife he had a surprise for, led her blind-folded into the garden, and committed an act of violence far worse than anything they could have imagined.
Henry, who was just 16 at the time, became a witness to the crime.
We Need to Talk About Dad meets the Johnsons as they reunite for Christmas, fulfilling the dreams of the youngest son Felix who - until now - has been sheltered from the events of that day.
Henry's need to confront what happened sees each of them come face to face with the mystery of the attack, and the impact it has had on their lives.
Wanting to destroy something perfect.
Henry said he felt his father snapped because maintaining the perfect family life was too much for him and the build up of pressure led to the attack on his mother. The offfical diagnosis was a temporary psychotic episode linked to the death of his father.

"This film left many questions unanswered about what had happened to cause a loving father in a 'perfect' family to smash the wife he had always adored over the head with the blunt end of an axe. "

Йозеф Судек.

Он был сосредоточен на своем внутреннем мире, а его фотографии всегда были очень тесно связаны с состоянием его души.

The Hours Movie Review & Film Summary (2002) | Roger Ebert:
"I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility, you know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself that this is the beginning of happiness, this is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me that it wasn’t the beginning… it was happiness. It was the moment, right then."

Список от Бродского.

"Книги, которые должен прочесть каждый.":"Иосиф Бродский преподавал студентам в Маунт-Холиоке. Похоже, по настоящему ему отравляло жизнь только одно: поголовная болезнь американской молодежи - беспробудное невежество. Однажды, выведенный из себя особенно безнадежным классом, Броский сел за машинку и наспех составил «Список книг, которые должен прочесть каждый»."

Because she knows the worst thing about me and it's okay.

Joe Black: ...But Allison loves you?

Англия. /Paraphrasing./

«То, чему я научилась здесь за прожитые годы, гораздо важнее навыков, полученных ранее. Англия - это другой мир во всех концепциях»

Конце́пция (от лат. conceptio — понимание, система) — определённый способ понимания, трактовки каких-либо явлений, основная точка зрения, руководящая идея для их освещения[1]; система взглядов на явления в мире, в природе, в обществе[2]; ведущий замысел, конструктивный принцип в научной, художественной, технической,политической и других видах деятельности; комплекс взглядов, связанных между собой и вытекающих один из другого, система путей решения выбранной задачи. Концепция определяет стратегию действий.
