Lion is one of the 2017 Oscar nominees. And it's quite ambitious. Adapted from a true story. The movie is actually split in two part. In first part, our hero Saroo is still in India when she was 5 years old. Wit his mother, his brother and his little sister, lives a very poor life. Everything happens one day when he goes out with his brother to work at night. In fact, this is where our movie breaks. He is asleep while on the bank and waiting for his brother to return. And when he wakes up, he finds himself in a train wagon. The movie reveals the poor, dark face of India. A 5-year-old child works in India, one of the most populous countries in the world. Of course, there are also limitations. These things I mentioned were more detailed in the movie. Saroo's communication with his brother was the best thing about movie. There is such a good sibling relationship that it makes people feel.
Saroo's life is upset in a night. That's why the search for the family is deeply affecting the people. A second breaking point is happening in your life. An Australian couple adopt Saroo. We find ourselves in an Australian couple's house. Saroo is shown as having no problem with integration. Saroo's childhood player has done quite well. In the Australian double role, there are veteran players Nicole Kidman and David Wenham. It looks like Nicole Kidman's Sue Brierley character is in the foreground. As always, compassionate adoptive parents get up very well from the top of their role.
20 years later Saroo is now a young man. Saro's youth is now playing the Dev Patel. I think this is the best acting work of Dev Patel after Slumdog Millionaire. Indeed, his play is very well, and he is already an Oscar nominee with this perfomance. He does research to find the family he lost years ago. But 25 years have passed since. The moment Saroo met with his mother 25 years later was very influential. The movie was emotionally satisfying. Patel has done a successful job as a person, often trapped between two worlds and two identities. At the end of movie it was a good choice to have photos of real people.
