Luke Davies, Oscar nominated screenwriter for Lion with Anne-Katrin Titze Photo: Susan Engel
Meeting up with novelist, essayist, film critic, and very famous poet, Luke Davies, to discuss his latest screenplay, based on Saroo Brierley's memoir A Long Way Home for Lion, directed by Garth Davis, starring Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, David Wenham and Sunny Pawar, we talked about the Proust moment, Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match Girl, Anton Corbijn, John Frankenheimer's The Train, Felix Van Groeningen's Beautiful Boy starring Steve Carell, Gianfranco Rosi's Boatman, Australian adoption laws, butterflies, and visual cues.
In Lion, memories are the only tools available to the hero for regaining a sense of origin. Luke Davies attaches us firmly to little five-year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) who gets lost on a dangerous, life-altering adventure.
Saroo (Sunny Pawar): "He describes this hedge that was filled with butterflies."

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters made headlines last month by calling for a boycott of Israel, saying he has urged other musicians to boycott the country in support for Palestine. But he told HuffPost Live host Josh Zepps Monday that he is now rethinking that position.
"I am considering my position," Waters said of the boycott. "The letter asking my fellow musicians to boycott Israel has never appeared. I am thinking all of this through extremely carefully and I'm thinking it all through extremely carefully because I care more about the outcome, because I care about the people involved, than I do about the moment."
Waters said that he is being "very, very careful to avoid some kind of dramatic moment that could very easily blow up" and undermine his influence in the longer term.
Waters was recently scheduled to speak at the 92nd Street Y in New York, but his appearance was canceled.

A constant news cycle of horrific bullying stories has some parents frequently intervening in their children's social lives, but they may be harming their kids in the process.
A mother picks her sixth-grade daughter, Cara, up from school. Cara looks upset. The mother asks what's wrong. Cara says her friend Annie was mean to her, calling her a "slut" and refusing to sit with her at lunch.

The mother is not surprised. She has never liked Annie, or Annie's parents, the way they let their daughter wear skimpy clothes and buy whatever she wants regardless of price. She is also aware that bullying is a widespread national problem that, according to everything she hears and reads, requires prompt adult intervention. When she gets home, she calls the school principal and other mothers in her bucolic Massachusetts neighborhood to say that...

It’s easily done. You tape The Godfather off the telly, think everything will record Ok, but when you come to play it back, you find that the last 30 minutes have recorded Spice World: The Movie by mistake.
From quality to gibberish in the blink of an eye. But this isn’t just the prerogative of a wonky Vcr; Doctor Who sometimes falls foul of this curse. Great stories are let down by a sub-par final part. The Hand Of Fear is a notable offender. Some say Pyramids Of Mars part four isn’t quite in the same league as the other three parts. But when it comes to howling disappointment, The Stones Of Blood nabs the prize.
It’s a crying shame that the final instalment of The Stones Of Blood dips drastically, since the first three are some of the best ever in Doctor Who. It’s a...
