Movie: 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) (Romanian)
Director: Cristian Mungiu
Starring: Anamaria Marinca
Abortion has always been a controversial theme, both in reality and movies. Is an unwanted child better than a murdered foetus?
The movie is a masterpiece. It cleverly portrays the inner conflicts and insecurities of not-so-ready to-be-mothers - how important it is for women to be independent before they start a family, how casually judgmental men are towards accidental pregnancies even after being half responsible for such situations.
The story is about two friends, one pregnant and one helping, how both of them are victimized by the man who carries out the abortion procedure. More than the man taking advantage of their helplessness, the women taking each other for granted makes it all the more gruesome and intriguing at the same time.
Beauty:The conditional relentlessness of the protagonist in helping out her friend.
Food for Thought: Who decides what is best in case of accidental pregnancies?
