A Journey to Remember

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2018)

Lion is a film about the journey of a young Indian boy who was adopted into an Australian family and searches for his birth mother. The storyline is uplifting, hopeful and astonishing. It is hard to believe that a person can find their home using Google Earth. The use of technology to find his home is amazing as at the time Google Earth was a new feature for the internet. This small part of the film alone will move amaze you.
The cast is incredible from the uprising child star Sunny Pawar who stars in the first third of the film. Through to Dev Patel who leads the rest of the film and carries on Saroo's journey to find his home. Nicole Kidman, David Wenham and Rooney Mara, although having limited screen time assist with convincing the audience of the miraculous story of Saroo.

There is so much diversity this film has to offer. Although it is a true story, it is unlike anything seen in the cinematic world. It is not only about one thing; being lost, romance; a journey. It contains multiple aspects of films from action to romance and the whole plot encompases teh main idea of finding something and going on a journey to do so.
Not only is the ending incredible but the whole plot and everything from the cast, cinematography and soundtrack is amazing.
