The Good Deeds in ‘A Good Person’
‘A Good Person’ makes it clear that forgiveness is hard.

A very unorthodox Jewish family is preparing for Sabbath dinner with their Rabbis (two). They are all straggling with the restrictions Sabbath brings until the old and wise Rabbi unexpectedly solves all their predicaments. 4 scenes - same dialogue - 4 long shots.
‘A Good Person’ makes it clear that forgiveness is hard.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
Growing up without a dad, I got a lot of my fatherly advice from the prototypes I saw on the silver screen. It’s these characters and films that gave me a glimpse into a dynamic I had never known but also made me realize that I was missing out. Here are my top 10 paternal films.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
Wacky antics ensue when a 100-year-old Jewish man wakes up from a pickled hibernation in the modern world.
If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.
