Good movie with shady practical issues.

Rating: 4/10 (18 December 2011)

The way back is a good movie albeit with a lot of things that you wish were different with it. The ending for example and the fact that they crossed the entire of Mongolia and entire of China to reach Tibet without eating much and then they cross the Himalayas ??? Hello? What? tired and sick from walking that much they finally reach Lhasa and they have everything there shelter, food, water and they don't even wait to recuperate. And then crossing the freaking Himalayas? Without oxygen cylinders or anything? Its the most funniest thing ever on the history of film. And from Tibet to Sikkim? Why would you go all the way around to Sikkim when there are kingdoms of Mustang which is the nearest from there and there is Nepal which was also in favor of the British. So historical inaccuracies was very frustrating for me. The only redeeming fact was that when they reached Sikkim, (inside Indian territory but they are Nepalese who speak Nepalese language) the film showed this fact that Nepalese was spoken there. Somehow I felt the whole crossing of the Himalayas was so funny i mean they could have stayed in Tibet long enough until they were fit and gone through to India (if that is what they wanted) through to the western side which I know is the easier and nearer than going to Sikkim. Just felt the lack the enough research when you're spending such huge amounts on the making of the movie.
