Very touching family search movie

Jordyn 2022-04-23 07:01:39

The life of the little boy in India in the first half is well described, realistic and meticulous. The life in Australia in the second half feels a little unclear, and the various scenes are constantly switched, which makes people think about the connection between the front and back, especially the roles of the male and female protagonists. It's a bit too much, but it dilutes the mother-child line. It is an understatement for the male protagonist to use goole earth to find his hometown and finally find it. The facial expressions and soundtrack of the characters I met with my biological mother at the end moved me to tears. After the end, I couldn't help but rewind to this episode to watch it again. Overall, this is a very good movie and worth recommending.

    Sue Brierley: What are you saying?

    Saroo Brierley: We... we... weren't blank pages, were we? Like your own would have been. You weren't just adopting us but our past as well. I feel like we're killing you.

    Sue Brierley: I could have had kids.

    Saroo Brierley: What?

    Sue Brierley: We chose not to have kids. We wanted the two of you. That's what we wanted. We wanted the two of you in our lives.That's what we chose.

    Sue Brierley: That's one of the reasons I fell in love with your dad.

    [pause]

    Sue Brierley: Because we both felt as if... the world has enough people in it. Have a child, couldn't guarantee it will make anything better. But to take a child that's suffering like you boys were. Give you a chance in the world. That's something.

  • Saroo Brierley: Do you have any idea what it's like knowing my real brother and mother spent every day of their lives looking for me? Huh? How every day my real brother screams my name? Can you imagine the pain they must be in not knowing where I am?
