Unitelligent and Boring, 25 October 2008
Author: omarstphn from India

The story is based completely on what you and everybody else in the world feels when you see a hobo or a slum. Its your moment of sympathy,helplessness,anger and gratefulness stretched out into one boring movie. Directed in the same way that two Englishmen would discuss the weather while waiting to catch a bus. OK so you watch it thinking yeah this ought to put things into perspective for me,yes this is real and may be i have been taking my life for granted. But believe me this movie is a load of S***. Its what you get if Anderson Cooper takes a day off from work and CNN hires Tim Burton or David Lynch as a substitute to go cover some epidemic in Zimbabwe. DO NOT Watch this. It has no real ending.It does not alert you in any way.Its not entertaining. Have you ever had a bad cold and woke up in the middle of the night bit groggy from the cough medicine? Well that's like a party compared to how you will feel at the end of the movie. There is NO ULTIMATE MESSAGE at the end as you would expect from a depressing monologue cum UN slide show like this. There is no reason to watch this. You want entertainment? forget it. You want a tearjerker? nah... You want cultural zeitgeist and reality? read a freaking newspaper. You want injustice in history? NO watch Schindler's List. You want religion? I cant believe they did not cover that aspect when it plays a major role in all the poverty they show in this movie. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.
