Movies

This movie depicted the difficulties that a mother goes through when looking after 2 young children with a lack a help from her husband and the everyday stresses of city life.What i found most annoying about this movie was that the character, well at least it seemed, created most of her 'Problems' unnecessarily. For example she took a bicycle shopping, and struggled with all the shopping bags. Why not take the bus?The music in the movie did nothing to enhance the feeling the director was trying to portray. Instead the music hindered this. I feel a better album of music could have been chosen for emotive effect.I do no recommend this movie and feel somewhat let down by the leading actress. She was much better in kill bill one and two.

This film is about a mother's hectic day, trying to fit everything she has to do in just 24 hours."Motherhood" details what a mother of two has to do in a day, from housework, organising her daughter's birthday party, shopping and writing. The events seem ordinary, but it successfully highlights the stress of being a mother and a housewife. It's a job that has no off office hours, no breaks and no days off. Their demands and difficulties of their roles are often underestimated and unappreciated. It reminds us that people need encouragement and acknowledgment to survive the mundane routine. It reminds us not to take love for granted.

I don't always like the "german" titles American (or other "foreign") movies get in Germany. But in this instance, I think the title (which I wrote as my summary line) fits better than the original title. It also might get some people off the case/movie, who seem to genuinely hate the movie. I don't think, the filmmakers went out there, to show us the "ultimate" truth about parenthood (or motherhood for that matter), but just a slice of life.Of course that doesn't mean, that the movie has no deficits. It seems a bit unbalanced and one sided at times. But it still has quite a few moments. And depending on your likings, you might nod your head in agreement or shake it in disagreement/disgust. It's definitely a movie that was made for a specific audience. Hate it or love it for it
