Ocean Tribe (1997)
9/10
real nice movie that grows in you
16 November 2005
first of all, this movie is not your average adventure or surfing movie & if you look at the plot,its not anything earth-shattering either. but once you start seeing it, you'll be hooked & you are in for a real treat that deals with life, friendship & death from the viewpoint of a regular 25 year old.

the movie starts in a rather 'normal' way, as a bunch of old friends get together after a long time & prepare for a surfing trip. but they also have a friend who has cancer & is terminally ill, living in hospital. So what do they do? very simple, they decide to include him & give him a time of his life. the trip itself is the body of the movie, & to say the truth, nothing out-of-ordinary happens in the trip. but the friends keep discovering each other, they do things that friendship calls for, they meet some people in their trip. & WITHIN these NORMAL activities, you, along with them, get to feel what life, death & friendship is really all about. then there is some transcendent moments that will touch your soul deeply & leave big impacts.

i saw this movie in zee studio channel at 1:00AM in the morning. i thought the movie deserved a far better slot but once i searched it in the internet, i found that this indie film didn't even got a distributor in USA! i consider myself lucky to see this film. if you get the chance to see it, don't miss it.
