“Happy, Happy” is a simple film but the underlying themes
stick to your bones. There is a sadness, wonderment, a feeling of yuck and
desperation, oppression, release, and unidentifiable painful pricks contain in
this simple film. There is nothing
complex about the structure or grand production design.
Kaja had married ten years ago and all she wanted was for
her husband to love her. He couldn’t and
he didn’t. She hoped against hope that
he wasn’t gay and ignored all the signs that he was. Finally she knew he was and left him. Being the adventurous type she moved next
door and that was the end of the movie.
I have nothing similar in my life to connect to this. A larger issue may be people who marry for the
sake of being married, or convincing themselves they are in love so they can
justify getting married or being married.
Some simply make a mistake of getting married because it seemed like a
good idea at the time.
Love and the desire to belong to a family are complex and
strong emotions.
