The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Every year Oscar, there would be some lesser known independent movies in their nomination list... Like Slumdog Millionaire, or from this year The Artist... and and prob next year this would be one of them..
Blame it on the trailer. Initially i thought it's just another cheapskate comedy about how a group of British elderlies travel to India and poke fun at the people there...... But how wrong i was, as that's just the setting and the movie is far more serious than that. While there are some interesting cultural differences, unlike SATC 2, they serve a purpose and not meant to degrade or to be made fun of. More importantly, the movie is about aging and how aged people too could seek their new meaning in life.... and the trip to India provided them a platform to change, to reflect and to make new sense of meaning in their life.
There are also many good quotes of wisdom in the movie... and one of them
"Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not all right, then it is not yet the end."
Theme. Cast. Acting. Dialogues.... I smell Oscar.
Rating: 4.5/5
