It's a movie for nearly three hours, but it's definitely worth spending. After reading it, the aftertaste is long and worth pondering.
when I saw the name of the movie, I thought it was another kind of vulgar exotic film. When several British people came to India, they hated it and were at a loss. Then something suddenly touched their hearts, and they began to like this chaotic country gradually, and then they grew up mentally.
The beginning of the story is really similar to what I guessed. Later, in order to please two British ladies, an Indian who regards the British master as a heaven and man spared no expense to take them on a trip to visit a famous cave. As a result, one of the young British women didn't know what was wrong in the cave. It may be because the echo of the cave shocked her brain, it may be because the weather was too hot, or it may be because she was afraid of marrying her British fiance.
After going down the mountain, she accused an Indian man of raping her, which was a big deal. The Indian man was immediately thrown into prison. He was originally a respected doctor, and his reputation was ruined in an instant. This incident caused a lot of trouble. The Indian people thought that the British master was biased against them and oppressed the Indian people, so they rebelled and supported the Indian doctor. As a result, during the court trial, the British woman desperately recalled the scene at that time, and the wrong tendon in her mind was finally reset, so she bravely told the truth-Indian men didn't rape her
Finally, British women were neither human nor hated by the British nor reviled by the Indians. The Indian man moved to the Himalayas to start a new life. After many years, he finally forgave the English woman.
This is a very interesting movie, which is not about tourism or exotic customs, but about human nature. I can't help but think of the tragedy of Chinese people helping the elderly. Those who help others are often bitten by the elderly, accusing them of being pushers, and asking them for high compensation, so that no one dares to help the elderly now. It turns out that this inexplicable psychology not only existed in China, but also existed in Britain 1 years ago.
when I look at the time, it's actually a movie in 1985, but the picture is clear and beautiful, and there is no outdated feeling at all. I have to sigh that the old movies are better. No matter at home or abroad, the new movies are not as good as the old ones.
