It is an Indian film about a boy who has dyslexia and is shunned by everyone, labelled as stupid and lazy, until one art teacher realizes it and sets out to help him. The little kids acting is amazing, the story is so beautiful I cried at parts. Would urge people to watch it!
Looks good, might check it out. Thanks for recommending it.
Does anyone else wonder why there are mistakes in some films? Do the directors leave them in there on purpose, or are they genuine accidents?
Interesting question. I love those youtube videos of movie errors.
I think they are mostly just accidents. There might be easter eggs here and there, but the majority is probably just oversight. And I think even if noticed they are left in there because well you can't shoot every scene again just because some minor continuity error.
I am going to a special screening of Black Angel on Friday. For those who don't know it is the short film which was played before Empire Strikes Back in 1980 and was thought to have been lost forever until it was recently rediscovered. There is a Q and A with the writer/director Roger Christian afterwards. Christian was Art director for the original Star Wars films and Alien and has also written/directed several short and feature length films including The Sender and Nostradamus.
Anyone else seen Chinatown? I think it's slid quite nicely in to my list of top films, it's been a while since a film's had me thinking so much afterwards!

Chinatown's excellent. Certainly in my top 10 or 20.
I'll have to watch 20 Feet from Stardom, but I'm finding it very hard to believe that The Act of Killing wasn't the best documentary (and probably the best film) released this year.
Catching up on the Oscars results and happenings from last night (no awards for American Hustle which is a result!!) and see the headline that Alain Resnais has died. 91 years but still RIP. Only seen a couple of his films but Hiroshima, mon amour is an absolute gem.
It was a great set of results, glad to see McConaughey get the nod, and 12 years was always gonna pick up best picture. Speaking as someone who hasn't seen it, was Cuaron's win for best director justified?
