    World has moved from 60s.. So should art cinema.

    We that is the film federation of India is still wearing the glasses of 60s.

    Whereas world has moved ahead.

    I still don't see any sense in showing such cinema, besides pandering to the white man's burden syndrome. You showcase abject misery and shine it as rat used to do. Comeon guys noone has time for such shenanigans in today's world.

    Raise issues and suggest solutions. Raising abject hopelessness serves noone neither the viewer nor the team of such projects.

    Big thumbs down for art cinema of 60s. A breed that is extinct and for good.

    The desert as a symbol

    A journey through the desert to reach the village where father and son live, it becomes a representation of the family, patriarchal power and the division of the sexes. Despite a drunken and violent father, the son follows him (perhaps he will also become a drunken and violent father). There is good handling of the camera (in the long shot in the village), but the length is long for the scope of the narration.

    Tree , stones and the seeds !

    While watching this, I was reminded of the incident where my other brothers and I were carrying bundles of sheep's worms in the scorching sun on our big brother's sheep farm and pouring them back and forth into the pits that had been dug for manure!

    As a reminder of that, it stood out in my mind as a memorial tree and seed!

    Not for everyone

    This movie portrays the other side of the world because there are still villages in India especially in Tamilnadu that doesn't have access to good transportation. The school portrayed in this movie is a typical example of thousands of schools still existing in Tamil Nadu. The alcoholic and abusive fathers and helpless wives and families, a lot of them still exist. While some people experiencing all luxuries in the world, there are still people who don't know the meaning of the word 'luxury'. There are people in the world who catch, fry and eat rats because they can't afford anything beyond. This is a hard hitting movie, a reality check. Just not for everyone. Silence and the little boy's eyes speak volumes in this movie.
