Beginning scene: funeral
I was a bit disturbing with the beginning scene, because Maria makes a joke about her sister death.
The situation was really strange, IMO is a director mistake.

I thought it was odd also but everyone reacts differently and I guessed her sisters death was not sudden and she therefore was not overtaken with grief. I've been this way at several funerals of immediate family members
shareHaving said all I did, I rewound the recording to hear what was said-I didn't remember being so funny, and realized my recording started at the end where they get into cars. Lol figures.
shareMy mom passed recently. She made jokes-including distasteful!-on her deathbed. We followed suit and made jokes immediately following her death. We did the same at my dad's mom's funeral-because the rabbi screwed up so bad and kept calling my Grandma Julia PAULA. One by one we would hear it and start cracking up. After twenty minutes someone from outside the curtain politely explained her name; the Rabbi said: "What's in a name?" From then on, my entire family has been hysterically crazy and sometimes funny about death.
But you know the truth is it's a nervous thing. Something to replace feelings we do not want to admit we have or break down uncontrollably. It doesn't match with sitting shiva, but what can you do?
