[biasedpoet]

they should get a bigger table

[veronicachic]

it's all about context in this scene.

@dixxjamm Good, but you forgot the biggest contrast. Working class versus intelligentsia. They talk about the boy giving away meat as a boy while the girl's family probably would have killed for their family's leftovers.

[dixxjamm]

Some new points on this scene:1.The director uses this long dinner discussion to cramp in alot of information about those times.2.It's platitudes vs. real feelings, cynicism vs.innocence, young vs.old.,3.This dinner is probably in a strange way the worst of Otilias experiences in the movie,also because she suddenly realizes that she's completely alone in a terrible world.4.After being humiliated and abused as woman and human being before,here her individuality is destroyed.,she's reduced to THAT

[urbanr0cker]

Not to mention Otilia's agony as the ringing phone goes unanswered and her having to endure Adi's family's subtle digs at her and her "county" upbringing and her career choices.

This discussion is far from slow or irrelevant. It's actually very interesting. You just have to understand what they're alluding to and what it all means. This is communist Romania circa 1987 people!

da ce mai vorbesc toti boritii estiaaaaa ma

[aprilaeries]

Yeah, I don't think this scene is very boring either. It's actually very tense, just looking at the friend's face, you can tell she's wondering about how Gabita is doing, if she's okay, if one thing goes wrong with the abortion, she could end up seriously hurt.

[debruthre]

Nothing dull about this scene people.
