Road, Movie (1:37) 2009

Road, Movie is an American/Indian production. The movie is set in India with the dialogue in Hindi. Vishnu is a man in his twenties who is selling his father's hair oil and not thrilled about it. He has an opportunity to drive a 1944 truck, which was used as a traveling cinema, to a museum. On his six day journey, Vishnu picks up travelers along the way, a young boy, a mechanic and young Gypsy widow. For much of the trip, they encounter barren land, devoid of people. After all the food is eaten, and the water supply gone, they are in danger of perishing. The group also have encounters with the police and a water warlord. The water warlord borders up the wells so people have to go through him to buy water. I really don't know how to describe this movie other then if was filled with symbolism.  Being a "get what you see" type of person, I just took this movie at face value. And that is not to say that it didn't have it's own appeal. I liked having a look at another culture. And let's face, we are all on a journey. It may look different in other parts of the world but it is still a journey.
