Fantastic film! Anybody ended hating the bunch of poor guys?


Don't get me wrong but I ended having no sympathy for any of them (except the little children of course).

Not quite a promotional film to help the poor. I was really shocked. Loved it.

Yep, this film talks about some questions I had for long time. It's about the guilt if I don't help everyone around, especially those who are needy. Time and time again, people shocked me with their indiference and ungratitude.

I don't find this film depressive nor that it has message that poor people should never be helped. I think of it more like encouraging film for those who are pushovers like me - I need to have more balanced view, and think of me first, not feeling guilty if I don't sacrify myself to the others.
