So far, I
have very much enjoyed two of the three films that we have watched. As I have
stated before, The House is Black,
really was not up my alley. This really kept me engaged the whole way. It was
intriguing, to me, that this woman would put herself in such peril in order to
prevent her sister from killing herself. I totally cannot blame her for that at
all. I would like to believe that I would go through hell and back in to try to
save my sister in any way that I could. She, of course, did not succeed in her
mission. She was arrested, and presumably never made it out of that prison.
That left me wondering if her sister went through with her suicide. I would
have to believe that was the case. Ultimately the trip was a failure. The main
idea that I took away from this is what you would go through for family. Family
is probably the most important part of my life. My family is very close knit
and I would do anything for them. I am certain that I would go through hell and
back in order to save any member in my family. I can not blame her for what she
did in the least bit. I would be devasted if my sister to me that she was going
to commit suicide, so I applaud her effort and heart regardless of the fact
that she did not succeed. She gave it her all and I that should be appreciated.

I understand how you made a connection through your own family to the film and that's an excellent way to try to understand what was going on. I took the sister to be a symbol of the state of the country at large; the people were trapped in a constant struggle survive from day to day and I think the sister's plan to commit suicide reflected the overall mood of the inhabitants of Afghanistan and their own frustration and sense of futility with their lives.
