intellectual OR artistic that you seek, stay far away. After the first 40 minutes, it just gets ridiculously melodramatic and unbelievable (even compared to the FIRST 40 minutes).
But it is a good view into the hopeless poverty which many people face---- actually, what MOST people do. A good popcorn movie but certainly nothing more. The lead fellow is the least charismatic actor I've seen given that much screen time in quite awhile. The two actors playing him at an earlier age were superior.
