AS 04: Lion (2016)

My first reaction to The Lion by Garth Davis was "Wow", but my reaction right now is not so much; a day later. The movie is broken up into two parts I feel. The first part is the story of the Young Saroo, played brilliantly and Sunny Pawar, and his brother Guddu played also brilliantly by Abhishek Bharate. The second part was poorly put together. The movie cover, pictured post above, being the heart of the movie was not as good. The actor Dev Patel and Rooney Mara should not have been in the movie in the first place, but they were the two big names.
The first part of the movie was beautiful put together. It told the story of Young Saroo and his older brother Guddu. They live with a single mother and are in the bottom in terms of being poor. Their story of what they had to go through in life was got my emotional attention. It told the story much better than I expected to be. The little actor Sunny was amazing. He made feel the pain of the character and you wished him the best even though you only the worst was in front of him.
The second part of the movie with long hair Dev was weak. He did not sound Australian and he felt out place. He did not feel like a person that came from India. I think that I said "wow" because of the first part. I mean the poster tells the story that was not important at all in the movie and in the story in the long run. The love story was not important. The movie maker tell you that when ended not resolving it at all. The cover should have been older Saroo and Guddu. There was the most important part of the story.
