On the topic of prestigiousness
Now this film isn't the greatest of all time, but the acting, and cinematography is superb. The plot is far-fetched, but still has some emotion to it that most everyone can relate to and tugs at dainty heartstrings. I thought the film was excellent and should be watched without holding it to some historical high standards or super realism. It is a good movie to watch if you want to lose yourself in absentia.
Blah, Blah, white guy saves the day (or doesn't) cliche, but if you can look past that. the film is great. It can be a fantastic example of overcoming adversity and adapting to strange surroundings. Yeah it was obviously targeted to an American crowd, but certain things could be changed here and there to make it a fantastic film for all.
I mean, for just one moment, don't you want to suspend belief and feel alright for a minute or two?
