this movie creates a language of its own and I venture it will be fully understood by native speakers most languages without translation provided that they dwell in house or apartment live in an environment in which possess a tv, their own bed, a room for the kids, small kitchen and a bath define your status as middle class. This is the reality experienced by these people all over the glove: from delegating the obligatory daily cleansing with lots of soap and water of the access to the house which is both a hall and garage cum driveway. This wash is performed with the aggressiveness one would use in cleansing a child mouth after using dirty language. It is like a act of repentance for the whole family continuous alienation from answering the question about the value of life, or is life as the movie, as good as it gets.
The movie also subtancilly under lines the fallacy that mere literacy can be called education, a fallacy that feeds on its own and is perpetuated by the miserly ends of political demagoguery that abound all over the world.
