His Own Life's Guard !

elshikh4

Well, it's not exceptional to have a small and cute movie. These are the movies which we escape to, after getting fed up with Hollywood's big and loud movies. The thing is, this time, it is exceptional to have a hero with new solution for his conflict. So how is that?

Simply because this hero we watched didn't eventually choose the teenage girl who represents his impetuosity for life, as well as his dive into it. And he also didn't choose the mature woman / his old love who represents rationality and stability. The man preferred to choose his freedom, his self with its own defects.

He preferred to work what he really loves, succeeds in, and can't forbid himself of doing; namely his work as a daily Life Guard at the beach, so maybe he could find someday that love which would harmonize with his status, and not the status which would harmonize with his love!

He is an interesting type of hero, who achieved his victory on circumstances for his invariability. And his very success was nothing but realizing that his happiness and his immutability were one thing, which if he tried to change; he would lose the thing that he loved the most: his selfsame, or his precious nature.

Although he knew very well that he was losing a lot in the same time "I know that I'm losing.. more than you could imagine!", but he selected not to select anything of what was in front of him, and that - in itself - is a selection.

As for what I hated, it's obvious: The too much skin all the time as if that was the main goods, the profanity or the bad language in general, and the scene in which the lead enjoys seeing some girls getting harassed in the sea!

In fact, we aren't used to watch this kind of "I'll select nothing" heroes in the movies but rarely. That's why this movie isn't small and cute only, but rare too.
