Splendid movie this. For everyone who wants to be educated about racism and racial discrimination and our prejudices when it comes to that, this movie is a must watch. A few of my friends were discussing discrimination in India the other day. Their bone of contention was how North Indians were being called outsiders by Raj Thackeray and how there seems to be water problems between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka regarding the Hogenakkal issue.
Most of their opinions were limited and I felt sad that they had not gotten an opportunity to watch a movie like this which opens your mind and makes you see beyind the petite things in life. The movie was enlightening.
Edward Norton’s acting makes you feel like you are a part of the movie for every second of the movie. Edward Furlong does an equally good job of playing his younger brother who is influenced by his actions. Elliot Gould plays a Jew who is also a teacher of both brothers.
The movie is very strong and moves you. You feel very very sad towards the end when the younger brother dies and the elder brother is helpless. You got the feeling that something had to give towards the end. Totally awesome movie and worth a watch.
