Avanim (2004)

I just watched this Israeli movie and have to say that I don't agree with the message. The main woman has an affair and her lover is killed by a terrorist bomb. Then she leaves her work (with her dad), her husband and starts an investigation against a Yeshiva.
The woman is made out to be the victim. She may have a bad marriage and home-life but that doesn't give you the right to go out and cheat. You can get a divorce and then move on with your life. Cheaters are the worse kind of selfish pigs in the world. Once a cheater, always a cheater. In today's society cheaters are seen as a normal thing when they should be made to feel that what they did/do is wrong - because it is.
The film also touches on radical religious groups - in this case: Judaism. I don't care what religion you are: Christian, Judaism or Islam any type of radical teaching should never be tolerated (especially any that degrades others or preaches violence.)
