The Other Half

It is the responsibility of the responsible human being to identify the human beings with different talents if the human community is to survive on this earth for another period of time. It was as if one day the human child under the human being got a ladder to climb. Heterogeneous cinematography wonderfully illustrates the hidden aspect of such a human community .

Award winning Director Lalith Ratnayake's use of silence to emphasise the emotions of the main characters is noteworthy, though seen as being sluggish at times. Clever use of a touching folk poem that Ruwansiri learns from his ailing grandfather is exceptional. Vishama Bhaga is a beautifully shot quality film that can be ranked high as a work of collective talent and creativity in all aspects of film making that we have seen in recent years.

An exceptional movie produced by the award winning director Lalith Ratnayaka with English subtitles. Highlights the issues of a teacher centric education system that does not provide the tools or the flexibility to nourish blossoming young talent. Ruwansiri's love for music is not seen as important to the math teacher but his brilliant recital of a poem learnt from his grandfather makes the math teacher look at Ruwansiri's issue from a different perspective. In addition, knowing that the proceeds are used for a benevolent cause of providing clean drinking water to the farming communities affected by the chronic kidney disease makes me feel good.

I did enjoy it for sure and hope to see movies from this director in the future. I think this movie is a turning point in srilankan film industry.

One of the best movies i have ever seen everyone must watch this movie great movie
