this truly emotional tear jerkier journey begins a 1hr 58mins of a truly emotional and mammoth journey that Will have you crying your eyes for the trip you went on with saroo and then to find out the truth will leave people who have hearts of stone cracked with tears this | Drama i gave it a 9/10 A five-year-old Indian boy gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. Garth Davis' deeply moving directorial debut Lion is about as uplifting as a film can get, without ever feeling emotionally manipulative. It tells the true story of Saroo Brierley, a young boy who gets lost in India after hopping on the wrong train and ends up homeless in Calcutta before being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty years later, he begins an odyssey to try and track down his birth mother and hometown. It's an astonishing film which is both a tearjerker and a crowd-pleas er - without being a sell-out. this has a strong cast this story is played out over two stories interconnecting saroos young life with his middle 20 self to piece together how he got lost and try investigate where his village was from 1600 km away not properly pronouncing his name or his village and speaking Hindi and not Bengali language so this film is about separation finding a family and getting into the complex story of adoption process and his unanswered questions the felling guilty for leaving his brother he wanted to let know he was safe and mother but cause his new life was in saroos way guddu his older brother was in his mind playing games collecting money to get food but saroos girlfriend Lucy played by Rooney mara his on off girlfriend found him hard to be around as quest became unbearable his guilt drives him to hide this quest from his adoptive parents and his girlfriend. Only when he has an epiphany does he realize not only the answers he needs, but also the steadfast love he has always had with all his loved ones in both worlds and the guilt but the a stunning child performance played by sunny pawar makes you want him to find the needle in the very big haystack as we Davis' film builds to a truly beautiful conclusion that left me emotionally destroyed.as you and saroo finds the truth . the truth hits like a runaway rain that the emotion flows its the saddest happy film that you will see
I think the fact that this is a true story played a massive part in the conclusion having such an impact on me. Davis plays it out brilliantly and the inclusion of real life footage in the end credits, along with startling facts about how many children go missing in India, just added more power to the already powerful film it deserves a best actor and best film for the journey you go on .
