Food for thought

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2004)

This film is more than what meets the eye. I see it as a personal journey the young man takes to realise who is he and to take the right decisions. First, his decisions are made as to influence his life. Then he tries to save his girlfriend. But maybe that was still selfish. He wanted to save her because he loved her. He tries to commit suicide and end the story when everybody is happy except himself. But he changes his mind when he sees his mum is sick and dying in hospital. Finally, he takes the right decision. He decides to scare away the person he most loves, his girlfriend. Thus, through self-sacrifice, all of them will achieve happiness. He has become selfless and then the journey ends. A bit like Groundhog Day, although definitely not a comedy!
