I saw obaba, last night, when it was aired in cable, here in India. Watching a movie in a channel, is always annoying, as they bring advertisements at each and every plot junctions. But still, obaba, rich in symbolism and pictured well, was a pleasing experience for me.
The main character of the movie is the place, obaba itself. In this regard it assumes some comparison between City of God, in which the main character is a place rather than a human being. But in obaba, other characters also take a core part in taking the story forward. Obaba begins with a young, rather confused, film student reaches obaba, in an attempt to make a film, as part of her studies. There comes, so many characters and so many stories in flash back. Often i missed the names of characters and it evoked bit of confusion as the movie preceded. I remember a few good lines, spoken by different characters, like, We have to be somewhere. But it doesn't matter, where we are, if we are happy in the inside. This is my opinion about this movie...It doesn't matter much, what we have seen, if we are happy inside. I am happy inside even though the story, did not make much sense.
