Unorthodox - Esther & Yanky Hotel Room Scene

[@tariqkhader6196]

It was just the 2 of them together, no hideous, interfering mother in law, no corrupt cousin or annoying aunt, just the 2 of them. Yanky just could not grasp how much Esty had moved on. It would never have worked.

[@Carlinisalive]

Yanky loves her but the religion and the community has done so much damage to both of them that they just couldn’t be together

[@alfayomega17]

She fucked with some dude .... Being married lmao.. she ditched God. That marriage could be fixed.

[@Carlinisalive]

@@alfayomega17 well god doesn’t exist sooo yeah

[@calebmalkavian]

that was great acting, both young actors

[@mis3686]

I wanted him to stay in Berlin and raise the baby together. Would’ve been cute but he probably would’ve been unhappy without his family

[@Fthepatriarchy]

he did rap* her and kept going even though she was in so much pain and crying. How tf would a relationship work after this?

[@Katyerina]

​@@Fthepatriarchy She literally told him not to stop and keep going

[@deadbunnys]

@@Katyerina but why would you continue to hurt the person you apparently love so bad that they’re crying?

[@Katyerina]

@@deadbunnys Religion does this to people

[@softiegaia]

I wish Yanky could change but his culture is too instilled him. It would be so hard for him to change.

[@randominoh]

Once he’ll go back to his community he will be physically punished for cutting his hair, that’s why they both have a dramatic reaction when he does it

[@itsjemmabond]

Really?

[@stone1488]

@@itsjemmabond mhm, cutting of peyos is forbidden and this he will be shunned in his community, the meaning behind the peyos are that you must share land with another person, the part you shave of the head is yours and the part you don’t is for the neighbor (what I was told)

[@A.Alegria]

Wtf, no haha, the peyes (The hair that is cut) is a tradition, it is not obligatory or something like that, nobody tells them anything, please do not invent lies.

[@danielzak4405]

No, you are missing the emotion entirely. It is a symbol of his identity. The peyes mean a lot to him and his community. He will not be physically punished. He may be ostracized, but not punished. But the main point is that he has made such a drastic statement. Even if he were the only Jew left in the world, those peyes would represent him.

[@danielzak4405]

@MARCVS ANTONIVS I think the KZbin algorithm might have recommended this clip yo people again

[@sandrab.5065]

Such beautiful acting!

[@celestajames3215]

Guys she went through a lot...it might be because she never wanna go back to tht place were she left everything....she even sacrificed everything... don't you think she is needs to be out of it...and explore and learn wht she can do....

[@PrincessAmenRa]

His mother is going to flip when she finds out the reason he cut off his peyos.

[@beyo_c_seokoma05]

I relate to Etsy a loy

[@theviper2226]

Wow 😢😢

[@giselestrauch5146]

this is sad

[@giselestrauch5146]

I feel for this scene that both can not handle a chassidic life and cannot live as a jew in a non chassidic way.

[@laamstee8015]

I believe that Yanky could have made it right . She should have given him a second chance .

[@Proutprutproutprout]

No. He is so rooted in his family and his culture, it would have taken so much time for him to reach a level of autonomy that would allow him to meet her halfway. Besides, she was already heading in a direction completely incompatible with her making compromises to stay together. By the time it would have taken to reach a balance, they would have already gone sour.

[@mmaaeerrii]

Was thinking this too because he really didn't know any other way. But a woman can only take so much pain to endure him growing beside her. Rules enforced without making it favorable to all in its methods will always hurt people.

[@itsjemmabond]

No. That would have meant returning to their community, and she was done with them.

[@emmaolivas4005]

He meant well but she couldn’t go back.

[@mis3686]

I wanted him to leave the community as well and live in Berlin with her. They could’ve raised the baby together

[@Fthepatriarchy]

the way you all ship her with her ra*ist breaks my heart. WTF is wron with you people?

[@yelqdeda9649]

He isn’t a rapist wtf is wrong with you yall just love to throw the word rapier around

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

When was she raped??

[@akshaysingh4712]

She wasn’t gr*ped. They were both inexperienced, and didn’t know what to do. They were following instructions and were under pressure to produce a child. She did say “keep going”. They were doing things mechanically rather than passionately. He doesn’t know how to touch a woman. Remember, he asked a hooker how women liked to be touched. But he was not like a pervert that forced himself to her.

[@Katyerina]

??? 😂

[@bajabl]

He was not. She literally told him to keep going.

[@BkNy06]

This has got to be one of the most heart-breaking scenes ever written for Television. I’m a grown man who’s not even Jewish and just cried like a little girl. 🫡😥
