The legend of "Painting it yellow"

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2008)

Wow what a movie! And all thanks to the 1 and only Aamir Khan. From the type of project it was any filmie could decipher how difficult its execution may have been. Luckily the mightiest Khan of all signed on to this venture and converted it to pure brilliancy. This movie was more of a symbolic jolt telling the story of five modern Indian youth who have a sudden epiphany about Indian bureaucracy during a process of a play they're acting in. Moreover, it's seen in third person through the eyes of a young British woman who feels that a group of ancient Indians worked really hard in making India a free society and instead it's led to this: A society where freedom of the minds are negligable. I agree with the morale of this story where you should fight for your beliefs when the necessity arises but the true reality is what we see instead towards the end when such an act is committed. Of course this story spawns several opinions and theories in how the Indian government should and shouldn't change. Altogether I give it a 9, I'd give it a 9.5 it just isn't an option. Just finished watching Taare Zameen Par and I must tell ya that'll at least scavenge it's way to an Oscar nominee for Foreign Language films this year
