Find the road Odie!
“Find the road Odie, I won’t be able to make it pal…”.
The entire film is about the journey of a combat dog and soldier, both retired and suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, gets into an accident while travelling when James(Brad Pitt) suffers cardiac arrest mid air, crash landing into the jungle and now their mission is to find the road. The difficulties they face in the journey, from animas, climate, and the jungle itself assures us that those two are there for each other, they have their back.
As James tells to Odie that “I’m the weakling” the audience can feel it. The movie is about 1hr 45minutes and you witness only these two characters on the scene and you become a part of their journey. The film does end on good note, emotionally. Post watching all I could think was, if it was made as an Indian film, with any Indian actor/actress, would people really watch it? or, Do we have a different mindset when it comes to watching Hollywood films? Like, would Shawshank redemption actually run in our theatres? 🧐🤨🤔
