As Good as It Gets 4K 1997

It is very strange that our TV channels have shown such coldness to this psychological masterpiece, showing the film at two in the morning. Under such time conditions, it is very strange to hope for a wide audience, for whom this vital picture was created.

This film is very difficult for superficial analysis, to which we were accustomed by Hollywood figures with their 'Terminator' and 'Shrek', a person who tuned himself up for dynamic action, global special effects and mind-boggling world-saving, will fall asleep at the beginning of the movie, as I have already said the truth and the message are veiled under a thick layer of quivering and lively dialogues.

'It Doesn't Get Better' is a sharp truth of life that does not seek to adjust to the basic canons of a successful blockbuster, it tries in a very peculiar way to convey to you and me a model of human relationships. This picture touches on the fates of very different characters. Later, after several metamorphosis of manners and behavior, these seemingly incompatible people come together and find not only new friends and companions, but also the harmony of soul, which is so lacking in our day.

The film tells us that it is much easier to live with goodness and humanity in your soul than to wallow in your own anger, this motif brings a lot of happiness into our lives, whereas aggressiveness and cynicism give rise to instant loneliness.

Everything is built around two diametrically opposed images created by brilliant actors, Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. The first is a successful writer who hates everyone around him, diagnosed with partial neurosis. He will never take a word in his pocket and will let you know, in a very harsh way, that he is not ready to get close to you. The mania of pedantry and cleanliness crosses all boundaries of reasonableness, sometimes becoming an absurd and comical incident. The second image is of a strong woman who is willing to work day and night just to save money to cure her sick son's asthma. She has no luck with her personal life, it is difficult to see anything attractive behind the costume of a waitress.

The psychological and dramatic nature of James L. Brooks' work is based on ordinary everyday human relations, in unremarkable and trivial problems we find the answer to many everyday questions, because the film teaches us the basic rules of life, it debunks the myth of the happy life of a single man, it makes us believe that it is never late to change for the better and, finally, it insists that kindness and simplicity is a powerful magnet for the people around you!
