Black (movie)

A very well made movie, and great performances from Amitabh, the child artist Ayesha, and Rani. What I liked about the movie was that they did not make Rani into some superhuman genius. She was just a smart blind/deaf kid with a good teacher. The whole Anglo american setting seemed a bit overdone to me, but it probably made more sense than her being the beti of some thakur sahib.

1. This is a review that would classify as encomium (GRE word list revisited).
2. The BBC review is an example of a bad review. The first part recaps the movie, pretty much destroying the viewing experience.
3. This review says that the first part of the movie, (which is the better part, by a mile), is copied scene by scene from "The Miracle Worker".
