Movie Reviews of A Passage to India [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Even the British are ashamed of their behavior?
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is sort of an Indian To Kill a Mockingbird (2-Disc Slimcase Set) [DVD] with a twist.
A journey to the caves becomes a disaster in which a well respected and educated Indian ( Islamic) doctor is accused of rape.
You get an impression that the English gentleman in this movie are mostly very bigoted fools? On would like to believe that the British have grown out of being be-knighted snobs with the heads in an impossible place,
but after seeing a British version of Oklahoma lately,
I still rather doubt it? If we should see a Bernard Shaw revival, then we might have some hope.

Summary of A Passage to India [Blu-ray]

Set in 1928, this film portrays an indelibly sardonic picture of British life in territorial India. The story concerns Adela Quested, who is a free-spirited British woman, played by (Judy Davis), who has settled in India and is to marry Ronny Heaslop (Nigel Havers), a town magistrate. She is befriended by the charming Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee), but it's a friendship that ultimately leads to tragedy.

This adaptation of E.M. Forster's mysterious tale of British racism in colonial India turned out to be master director David Lean's final film. Subtle and grand at the same time, Lean's adaptation is faithful to the book, rendering its blend of the mystical and the all-too human with exquisite precision. Judy Davis plays a young British woman traveling in India with her fianc?'s mother. While visiting a tourist attraction, she has a frightening moment in a cave--one that she eventually spins from an instant of mental meltdown into a tale of a physical attack that ruins several lives. Lean captures Forster's sense of awe at the kind of ageless wisdom and inexplicable phenomena to be encountered in India, as well as the British tendency to dismiss it all as savage, rather than simply different. --Marshall Fine
