A movie that takes you back to your kindergarten, where things you dont care much about now scare us like they are life threatening problems. The fact is everytime I look back at life I find most things silly, I look down upon then as grownup... even yesterday's monstrous troubles seem petty... seems there is so much we are learning from life... And i think this happens as long as you are young at heart, vulnerable, ready to learn and ready to accept the fact that there is so much more, so we first learn a bit from that and can beam up and smile at our yesterday's silliness.
But actually this movie isnt much about what I was rattling away...
Its a beautiful depiction of the fears, fighting and peace in the mind of the child... with a 100% belief, clarity... I think as we grow up we get experience but miss out on simplicity...
I love the country life and very naturalistic background sound that preserves the truth of real life... I was so reminded of my several village study trips to a small village in Gujarat called Otha ji Na Chapra, the narrow lanes and how everybody knows everyone, in one scene as the boy is running through the narrows lanes, there comes a calf blocking the narrow path... thats so real... small villages but partitioned in several parts... direction given as "the blue door", the house next to dead tree... and the old men always sitting in the verandas to chat up... one must really stay and observe the kind of interactions in village to be able to capture them in such realistic manner...
just one more random thought... the small boy was running sooo... much, gr8 stamina i must say... shame on me, got to pull up and exercise... i pant after just climbing up to 3rd floor :(
and if you like this movie... you must also see "Children of Heaven", yet another movie on the beautiful perception of life that children hold...
