Woman is The Best Way To Go !
3 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is a strange movie for sure. Not bad, but so strange. I got confused after the first watching, asking: what was that anyway?! Till I discovered the whole thing in the leisurely second time.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's all about the woman. This little inimical black comedy aims at one point, and one point only, which's: WOMAN is the root of all evil, the most effective way to die, or the angel of death on earth who reaps the souls of the men only!

Just look at all the movie's events to catch on the wily hidden meaning: We have that dazzling young Eve, and all of those Adams who everyone of them loves her, and deals with her in a different way (a fatherly husband, a lover friend, a repugnant enemy, and an outsider) while she innocently and unintentionally destroys them all. So the theory of that movie is: We, as all the men, are dying because of the woman for direct or indirect reasons. Even the poor old policeman at the end, as the fourth and last type of men around her, got killed also, instead of her. As she's the ultimate slasher, or death itself. So you'll find out about why it's an island, as an epitome of the world, and how any male got involved with the sole woman there would meet his end; like it's heaven again, but with Eve as the devil!

Yes, the ways of deaths seemed so absurd, but if you scrutinized a bit, you'd detect that it all happened because of her, or because of the idiocy of men in front of her. Therefore they were absurd indeed, however as the movie's good mockery of those foolish males whose their only sin was loving, caring for, and helping out one female!

So, in (Head Above Water) the female is the most operative bane for the men, as she was created for cutting their heads off perfectly! Although that was expressed powerfully, but when it comes to reality, I'm not convinced. Because if there is a woman as kind and sincere as (Diaz) in this movie, then I'll give her my head, and my heart, gladly!
