A beautiful story with funny quirks here and there

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2014)

The story is nice and the basic premise is a rare one. Burt teaches us about determination, indomitable spirit, perseverance, and hard work all at once with this story. The great thing about this movie is that the dramatization contains a whole bunch of funny quirks here and there that this movie should also be considered as a comedy genre too. This movie also shows us about culture clashes and shocks, and how we should be facing them accordingly. Hopkins really acted nicely. He gets into his character well. Seeing his role as having quite a hearing loss, I personally quite accepted that this is what Hopkins' current mental health state until I remembered that he acted out in contrary in his role in Meet Joe Black.
