The Other Half

It is the responsibility of the responsible human being to identify the human beings with different talents if the human community is to survive on this earth for another period of time. It was as if one day the human child under the human being got a ladder to climb. Heterogeneous cinematography wonderfully illustrates the hidden aspect of such a human community .

An exceptional movie produced by the award winning director Lalith Ratnayaka with English subtitles. Highlights the issues of a teacher centric education system that does not provide the tools or the flexibility to nourish blossoming young talent. Ruwansiri's love for music is not seen as important to the math teacher but his brilliant recital of a poem learnt from his grandfather makes the math teacher look at Ruwansiri's issue from a different perspective. In addition, knowing that the proceeds are used for a benevolent cause of providing clean drinking water to the farming communities affected by the chronic kidney disease makes me feel good.

One of the best movies i have ever seen everyone must watch this movie great movie

I did enjoy it for sure and hope to see movies from this director in the future. I think this movie is a turning point in srilankan film industry.

Current education system is only focussing on aligning the whole nation in given four mainstream studies which produce engineers, doctors, art graduates and business administrators. There is no say we can move forward as a nation under this prevailing system... this movie is based on one such case out of millions ... in a very short span of time it tries to elaborate on the issue ... it also shows the traditional wisdom, the fight against fertilizers, the on going fights with elephants etc... out of all the issues highlighted, one of the other things that caught my attention was not having access to drinking water... these are all results of poor decisions taken in the past by our political systems ... it's high time we correct them ASAP... I wish the director and the team all the best to make more and more movies in this nature which are authentic and are digging into the real country life of Sri Lankan rural communities ...
