I watched this movie for two reasons 1. It won the best picture oscar 2. its been rated 99 on metacritic.com I am actually very dissapointed how a movie so far fetched, full of cliches and over-the-top drama could make it this big? I am an indian, I dont understand black and white culture, but I know when a story is promising. The only thing I liked was cinematography. Rest I couldn't take. yet I sat through it.
