I have recently watched the film Snow Angels and I found It to be a great film that I believe many could find a way to relate to in some form or aspect. Another thing I found was, that if you could try to invision the point of view of each character of the film you would find that in many of them you could easily empathize with their predicament (the way it was filmed gave great insight into each character). First (on one side) you have the characters involved in a high school romance which for many is not a hard situation to relate to, but then (on the far side) you are witnessing what is obviously a pretty brutal civorce that involves a child (4 years) An alchoholic (possibly schitzophrenic) father who refuses to let the marriage die, and then you have Anni a single mother who is picking up the peices to make ends meet. Seeing as 62% of marriage ends in divorce (and 11% of that percentage are violent divorces involving children) I'm assuming most can relate to this as well. I was shocked to find that it would end in the particular way it did, however I had a strong feeling that it would not well. I feel that on some level I can share common ground with the character Anni (most relationships I've been in have been extreamly violent and so I understand the stresses It creates for her). Sadly however I am also able to relate to a religious zealot who feels somehow exonerated and (Free of guilt or blam) forgiven by their god for the monstrosities they have commited. Also the way in which Glen killed Anni I was ble to understand as well he did it in religious reference and cleansed her feet before he led her to her death.
over all I thought It was a great film and I enjoyed watching it.
