Amber Bransonisn't darjeeling, tea?
you'll have to pardon my apparent ignorant being. i like being enclosed in my bubble of delusion and fantasies. because when i caught THE DARJEELING LIMITED i thought it had something to do with tea. maybe a lot of tea or less or something along the lines but tea nonetheless.
so to my dismay and confusion, it's the name of a train taken by three brothers, that runs through picturesque india. yes, lovely country and someday i'd like to visit it. commentary aside, it's supposed to a journey of discovery and self-reflection, of forgiveness and some spiritual enlightenment. it seems to fail, since the brothers somehow land themselves in some weird-ass situation or rather. the truth is that the big brother (played by Owen Wilson) are dragging his two other brothers along to find their mother - this nutjob of a lady who keeps disappearing and eventually decides to make a nest in the himalayas.
it's quite drama, at some moments you actually pity the three of them and then you feel like whacking them on the head for being so wrapped up in their own world. i'm still trying to grasp the effects the loss of their father (and the fact that their mom didn't attend the dad's funeral) affected them. coz it seems like apart from chasing and looking after the mother, that's the main consistent theme that runs throughout.
it's somewhat feel good, if you enjoy getting your brains screwed. mostly it just made me want to visit india.
