So as per my psychological dyslexia I went to see this off beat new movie "Barney's Version" based on novel of Canadian author Mordecai Richler. It's a painfully monotonous movie but there is a reason why this movie made so many nominations (in for Oscar too).
Its all about idiosyncrasies of life. When you are a Jew and you have a different name. And when you are young and you marry a neurotic person against advises of all friends or if your family make you marry a rich person (a JAP in movie) so you can take off in your career. And as you crave all your life for a loving spouse, later you end up screwing your own long happy marriage because of your jealousy. When your one kid turn around and tell you what a loser you are - but your other kid love you despite knowing all your flaws. How sometime small events make you happy and you jump in bed with joy. How you carry blame for someone's death which is not your fault. How events of life turn you into a "jhakki" and blunt person! When you love your own father (played by Dustin Hoffman) despite him being all dysfuntional and you stand up to protect his respect. Instead of crying on his death you smile as he lived like a king! When like a regular Canadian you are addicted to hockey and worry about score even on your wedding day. Its a story of a man who smokes cigar, drinks hard and gets strike with a disease. At the end you realize that no life is regular. We all have our own shares of good and bad. Eventually you fall in love with central character Barney. So message is to love life and fellow humans knowing we all have our own idiosyncrasies.
Ye mere aur aap jese 'regular' (aam) insaanoN ki kahani hai.
