my question with this movie about Lucy


Why didn't Rooney Mara's character come with Saroo to India? I think it would have been great for her character to see Saroo's home and meet his real mother. I think it would have been a great moment.

reply

It's not her story. It's his story. They weren't married or anything.

reply

Perhaps it is because in real life, she never came... He told her to wait for him... She was in school... Her Mom had died... She was almost entirely on her own... There could of been so many reasons... But, I never read the book... I assume, they wanted to do it based on true story.

reply

Her character was fictitious. She was made up for the film. And I agree with whoever said it's his story.

reply

I don't think she really existed, so it would have moved to far from the real story.

reply

His real girlfriend at the time was named Lisa, in the movie changed to Lucy.
