Movie Reviews of A Passage To India (2-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: A passage to deep sleep.
Summary: 2 Stars
Perhaps I expected more than a simple depiction of colonial oppression and a seemingly contrived plot intended to draw immediate sympathy to someone wrongly accused or a horrendous crime.It began with obvious caricatures of wealthy English oppressors and postcard like glimpses of a fascinating culture yet managed to hold my interest for about 40 minutes.
Ultimately, the lack of complex characters and social situations proved the film could be little more than an attempt to manipulate the emotions of those who require despicable villains, innocent victims and self-righteous heros to provide them with good old fashion entertainment and easily consumed moral lessons.
For those who desire thought provoking images of foreign cultures and a deeper exploration into the nature of human oppression, this film is insignificant.
