A Fortunate Man (2018)

True Masterpiece! Damaged Souls May Never Recover

[10/10 · 25 January 2020]

Well, this is my first review. The movie has touched my heart so profoundly that I had to write about it. The protagonist is born in the family of clergymen. He left home to study engineering against the family wishes. He was considered a genius for his groundbreaking ideas. He got engaged with a girl of a wealthy Jew family and would help him to fund his project. He was called "A Fortunate Man". Later we see how death of his parents questions his way of living. A lot of misfortunes took place as he called off the engagement. Later, he married a girl from his village but still never found happiness. He left his family to live alone in solitude. He ends up having cancer but he finds himself. Throughout the movie we see, the protagonist never finds peace and happiness. The character says something like "there are some people who are made for misfortunes". It meant the souls are damaged enough already that they can't be happy anymore. The person is so cold already that he can't be happy and feels he is bringing other people down with him. This movie is a great example showing how some damages never heal. The pain never stops. It is not a happy ending movie but more about the reality and how some people can never heal. Truly a masterpiece!
