Maybe your time would be better invested watching NASCAR or WWF.

Haha well said.

you would not recognize a good movie if it came up and bit your behind- this was one of the best movies this year ...

hahaha. I laugh at your ignorance.

It's the kind of thing Hollywood used to make with Lana Turner. Absolute balderdash. And exploitative. The Indian stuff looks like it's supposed to mean something but doesn't. Good beginning but I found myself laughing at the funeral.

I'm sorry for you that The Rock wasnt in the leading role. Maybe when America remakes this excellent film it will appeal to you more.

I agree, very boring..... I felt as if the movie was about 5 hours long. overrated and very pretentious.

All taste are in the nature, indeed, but I think that movie have really good qualities and that it is a great movie.

I seen the translated french-version, but I got a feeling that you cannot be insensitive of that story line.
The powerful buisness men that who he gonna died, struggling with it, but for the shake if his family, calling upon his wife ex-lover, as he knows he is a good man.

I was touch by that story and the cinematography is really interesting, the way you see something just the eyes, or the hands of the actors.

Brillant movie.

I imagine you are another 'American Idiot'! This film was excellent and well deserving of it's Oscar nominations.
Perhaps reading the sub-titles was just too challenging for you?

A rude shallow post with equally rude and shallow responses, but really, I think the OP had a point. The movie was as quite melodramatic (not by itself a bad thing) but there's a point where it can feel gratuitous. I mean, the poor girl Anne-- by the end of the movie she has discovered an elaborate lie meant to conceal from her the existence of her biological father, she is married on what is the "happiest day" of her life, then then cheated on by her new husband the next, finds out her dad has been concealing his impending death from her, and then becomes responsible for administering a multi-million dollar with her semi-estranged father who's left everything (including his own "child" of sorts) in India. Not a bad movie, but I think the cheating husband plot line and another 20 minutes could have been left on the editing room floor.

agree with the negative sentiments in this thread, the director tried to make a moving movie and didn't succeed imo, using cheap and cliched tricks like the estranged father and the cheating husband, throw in some 3rd world poverty for good measure to hammer it home






so many movies, so little time
