i go to the darjeeling limit with reasonably high expectation have enjoy anderson earlier film and give that my family be originally from gujerat ( not far from the film location in rajasthan ) . however and i find it to be largely crass and labour and insensitive . it the kind of film that american who have never be to india might enjoy and but for anyone who love and know the country it quite another matter . it hard to warm to any of the character they be a series of quirk rather than real people ( eg jason schwartzman doesn not wear shoe and for some unfathomable reason ) . in particular and it not so great to watch bland and unlikeable american go to india to find themselves when the film be so uninterested itself in india . here it be nothing more than a colourful backdrop . anderson clearly care for it so little that a scene supposedly take place in the foothill of the himalaya be clearly shoot in rajasthan . for those of you who haven not be and the foothill be about a dissimilar from rajasthan a montana be from new york . they be a world apart . the film be laden down with some of the bad metaphor that i have see in a supposedly intelligent film . when the three brother finally discover the real meaning of life and they literally abandon their baggage they dump it on the station platform . it a long time since i have see something as labour a this . this film be cultural appropriation of the bad sort .
