Great review Ryan! As you say it is unfortunate as this sounds a very interesting movie but they seem to have gone the route of making it mainly painted by numbers. I may check it out one day but I’m not in a rush to do so :-)
The Chinese cultural revolution against "the old ways", was a time when people were made to work in famine conditions, while millions died or were killed. This traumatic time in history was what kept the doctor, distracted, repeatedly looking back, wondering what happened to his lost sister, doubting himself, and stopping him from moving confidently forward in the present.
@RavensOsFan89 that's the scary part about new movies coming out, the only one that gave me that feeling of I need to watch this again, has been Dune: Part Two
As soon as I heard on India a mother blinded her baby. May mind went to the award winning fictional history movie SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE, a long game love story about India's orphaned/dumped children, one who grew up without school participated in a a TV trivia game show(to find a friend) he wins but they won't give him money he won, claiming he cheated, then he tells the amazing story of his homeless childhood, which one seen was horrendous, turning these abandoned toddlers and kids into cripples to make more money begging. Based on true events, how the neighbors and many levels of government ignore these little ones. Where here in America the private sector agencies (nondenominational non-profit foundations, churches and temples) and several gov agencies (county run CPS, diff Food Debit Cards for diff ages, Section 8 Housing, basic medical). Just after you seem SIGHT please see Slum Dog Millionaire,
Excellent movie review? So there 30, 31 days in a month. Exactly how many movies you watch in a month? I'm sure you broke a record or something like that
