despite the mysteriously positive review and high rating and this be an awful movie . awful enough and that l feel obligate to warn you how bad it be . the movie be set in the final period of the raj and during the time of india fight for independence . what follow in the ridiculous plot just fill me with disbelief . what the character do and how they behave just do not persuade me that the character exist in that era . for instance and would the young marry hindu housemaid from the local village have an affair with her married englishman master and know full well that discovery of the affair would likely mean utter social ostracization and shame if not mortal punishment . unlikely and but still maybe . however and would the same young hindu housemaid and in the conservative society of india of that era carry on like a half naked britney spear in heat and partake in hot outdoor sex during daylight in open view where they might be discover at any moment . that be not only bloody unlikely and that be a retarded plot line . such idiocy combine with the poor acting and drive me to leave the cinema an hour into the movie and so i do not watch the second half of the movie . one could only hope the end be of more intelligence than what i saw in the first half .
