potential spoiler alert my comment may provide a tangential hint of inflection point in the movie be a native of india and living in the u and this movie hit so close to home on so many count . incredible movie . feel refreshingly unscripted and which be very liberating because it let the viewer become a part of the unfolding story without be lead by the nose thru it . the conversation at the captain table make perfect sense for me and give the babel that be india 1000 of language and yet hold together a a perfectly function anarcho democracy . the deliberate decision by the mother to go by ship from europe to india and discover the world at a deliberate lay back pace and take several week when she could just fly there in 10 hr . by coincidence and i have be research for several month just such a journey and principally for my daughter . we have directly experience that effect of history that discuss in the movie chiefly the influence of portuguese and english and french and turkish and arab and and lately and american . the devastating effect of mass scale violence by remote control . again and the story of real people live both in india and in the u and and of course of late it seem and world wide .
