A good movie with obvious flaws

Warning: Spoilers
I saw Go see and become yesterday without no expectations what so ever. The movie surprised me though, it was a good movie but I knew that something was bothering me about it, and today I realized what it was.

Sure the movie is good. It's sad and fun at the same and sure the acting is good but the writers got caught up in something else that they didn't see the big picture.

Shlomo, the main character who got the opportunity to flee Sudan at the age of nine with help from his mother and a woman who pretended Shlomo is her son and that he's a Jews, just like her. His mom told him to go see and become, to not come back before he's become something of himself.

The plan is that all the black Jews from Sudan have the opportunity to start a new life in Israel, they're being saved from starvation and from a poor life.

Sadly, the woman who pretended to be Shlomos mom, died and Shlomo is all by him self, he starts boarding school but is too aggressive and disorderly so he gets adopted by an Israeli family.

The rest of the movie is about Shlomo having a secret, that he's not a Jew and that he had a family back in Sudan, that his mother is still alive. It's also about him growing up and finding love and about the Israeli family becoming a family to Shlomo

But Shlomo is too obsessed with his mom back in Sudan, he wonders why he isn't aloud to come back home and he thinks about his mom everyday at every moment possible.

He is too busy with his mom back in Sudan the whole movie, that he couldn't see that he got an amazing family, a wife, and a kid. It's almost that he didn't realize what parents are, just because you give birth to a child dosen't mean that you're a mom. A mom is someone who's always there and loves you, helping you become a good human being, is there for your wedding and your birthdays and so on.

He couldn't even see that Yael, the Israeli mother where always there for him. And then we have the Israeli dad. He was the one who wanted to adopt Shlomo but the older Shlomo got, his attitude to Yoram was meaner and he couldn't see that Yoram was the one who saved his life.

I think that Shlomo was ungrateful the entire movie and his only wish was to be with his mom. That my IMDb friends, was the thing that bothered me about the movie,

Ungratefulness. It's one of the most despicable things in the world.
