This film captured both the good and the bad, and was a movie that was not only faithful to life in this destitute region but also faithful to a portrayal of the good and bad in each of us.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that some are born to be bad, to commit heinous acts regardless of the good company that may surround them. The good and bad brothers in this film belied notions that nurture trumps nature.
By the end of the film I was the beggar, begging that the outcome would be good. Without spoiling the end, all I can say is that I applauded as did the whole theater - that rarely happens these days - but the film was so deserving, such a fine work of art, such a great record of humanity. . .
