    • Quotes

      Yasha: Nira's exhibition seems to be a great success.

      Eitan: Yes, fantastic, especially with statues she used to make for laughs.

      Yasha: Yes, the secret is to get someone to pay you to laugh.

      Eitan: Well how come she isn't laughing anymore?

      Yasha: She's frightened.

      Eitan: Frightened for what?

      Yasha: For you, for her, for both of you.

      Eitan: Well, if she's like that now, Yasha, what's she going to be like in the future?

      Yasha: Future? Do me a favour, Eitan, what future?

      Eitan: I've got my contract with the club.

      Yasha: Peanuts! You've had a fortune in your feet for years and who gets it - the club and the punters.

      Eitan: Well, I'm happy.

      Yasha: And Nira? The statues she used to make for laughs, they're making her rich. And what about the game you play for laughs, is that making you rich?

      Eitan: Ah, come on, Yasha, I'm an amateur.

      Yasha: LIke, Nira - become a professional. Lose the match.

      Eitan: Lose the match?

      Yasha: What are the odds against you losing? I'll tell you: four to one.

      Eitan: Oh, don't start getting clever with me, Yasha

      Yasha: Start getting clever with yourself, boy. We can make a fortune, you and me. Anyone taking bets against you losing, can find a thousand takers.

      Eitan: Lose for my club?

      Yasha: You've spent your life winning for your club, and what have they given you? Nothing but promises. So now the club loses and you, Eitan, become a first-time winner.

      Eitan: I'll see you around, Yasha.

      Yasha: You like Nira's new car? Well, that's taking her right out of your life, boy. Out - for good. But if you had that car

      [he indicates a convertible]

      Yasha: you could go with her. Only you'd be in the driving seat. It's yours as a down payment. And I'll find you a job. Think about, Eitan.

      Eitan: I've thought about it, Yasha.

      Yasha: It's funny; she's going up just as you're coming down.

      Eitan: Look, Yasha, I won't lose the match. I won't lose, Nira. In fact, I won't lose anything I want to keep.

      Yasha: Keep? Keep? Don't make me laugh. You can't keep yourself in chewing gum, let along Nira in the style to which she's going. I mean, face it, Eitan, you can't afford her. She's gone. Like everything else in your life, you've left it too late.

    MY MIXED OPINION !
    This began fairly well and cinematically uniquely different , due also to the locations, their desolation, which then whisks off to modern styled row of arttracrive cottages, mediteanean style. Some well crafted kids punch ups and decisions discussed and argued over by the young blonde 10 year old hero of the movie, Nimrod ! ( interesting historic name choice ! ) Progressing rapidly with more artsy flowing camera shots and off he goes seeking his hero in the big smoke ! Hero is a delight with well timed humor and agonising disagreements ensue , seemingly from all and sundry ? From this poin on the truth about humanity , strengths, doubts and indecisiveness all mixed in a fairly simplistic narrative . I had a real interest at how this would play out and the sometimes webs of intrigue were not too complicated to follow. Not too simplistic , whilst also weaving something akin to a web , occasionally of minor intrigue and normal daily human upsets ! All that said, i thoght some of this, as it moved on, over dramatic and a wee bit frustrating , even a little annoying ? One paricular camera angle was really badly executed when the boy was talking to his hero who was driving ? Possibly a studio scene which could have looked better than it did ? Prior to this movie i did not recall Richard Harris as a rebel who avoided conformity at all costs throughout his illustrious career ? As the previos reviewer said, this part suited his real life character very comfortably ! All in all, for me, this movie is enjoyable , at least partly due to my Anglo/Israel history and life . Many locations recalled , sights, sounds, only item missing is the memory of the unique food aroma , music and world class singers, albeit there is a rather delightful Sephardi dance sequence also worth a look ?
