Review of The Last Lear (2008) by Marya A — 07 Mar 2009
A very odd yet intriguing story. the method of going back and forth in time to explain the story, was well done. Mr. Bachchan is one of the most respected people in India, and it is movies like this that keeps that respect alive.
Zinta did a good job of leaping out of her "bubbly hot chick" image, and really displayed her talent in this performance. Arjun Rampal was average as the film director, but had some scenes where he owned the screen.
For the story itself, it was the story of a retired theater actor who had trouble defining himself and needed to do a film to find himself within all of his characters. its also about a actress who has a husband who suspects she is cheating on him all the time.
and of a wife who does not understand her husband. Overall the director did a good job of portraying the different characters for who they are. this film is definitely not for all audiences but may leave you with a unique feeling about what you just watched.
