That was a really nice 2 hour advertisement for Google Earth.

Apparently Google provided period-appropriate builds of Google Earth for the movie to use. When you see Saroo using Google Earth, it really is the version of Google Earth that would have been used in 2008. I thought that was pretty cool.

How'd you like the story?

That movie probably affected me more than any other movie I have watched in the last 10 years or so.

That actually is pretty cool, I didn't know that.

The story was good. I honestly preferred the first half of the film when he was a child over the second half, although the ending was nice.

I enjoyed it, but it didn't jump out at me a ton personally, but I can see how it could have a huge impact on others.

The first half was AMAZING

The kid was such a great actor, and it was such an intense, powerful story.

The 2nd half was legit LOL. The ending was good tho.

This pretty accurately sums up my feelings tbh.

The first 50 minutes were fantastic, the ending was fantastic, but everything in between... eeeeeehhhhhhhh....

This was featured on my plane ride but I didn't have a chance to see it, what's it about? Is it another slumdog millionaire type movie because I can't handle something that emotionally taxing about how depressing life in that region of the world is.

The first half kinda is, the second half not so much.

The modern day stuff seemed really rushed.

Yeah, I hate how fantastic the first half was, while the second half just seemed to lose its way tonally.
