re:    PASSAGE TO INDIA
date:  Saturday 20 April 1985

I was interested in all the Net comments on PASSAGE TO INDIA.  

I don`t think I would ever bother to argue over the merits of a movie;
if you like a movie, that`s fine, if you don`t, fine also.

The thing that interests me about people`s reactions to A PASSAGE TO
INDIA is that it shows just how vastly different people`s points of
view can be.

I went to the film and enjoyed it - I could pleasurably sit through it  
again - which is unusual for me.  I was baffled when I heard other people
say, "I couldn`t understand what it was all about!"  It seemed utterly
straightforward to me - no more baffling (in its own very different way)
than, say, STAR WARS.

The thing that was unusual about the film (in my own opinion) was that
it didn`t try to spell everything out.  There was no attempt to spell
out the motivations of the characters, there was no pat moral to the
story.  I liked that, because as far as I can see, the real world is
like that...
