Extremely underrated...

Warning: Spoilers
So I'm fighting to write this because the tears are blocking my sight and my runny nose is making it even harder to breath because the last scene just ripped every ounce of breath I had. The movie was on my To-Watch list for quite a while and I honestly don't know why. Perhaps I thought it would be quite slow, perhaps I dreaded the cliché scenes that I honestly thought this movie was going to have. Silly me, this movie is way far from cliché it might as well be from a different planet.

In a hackneyed community were people disregard their core, abilities, dreams, hopes, and personalities for social acceptance, a single individual refused to do so. Refused to give up who he is and what he believed in for the, ever so monotonous, social norm. He was a speck of salt in a vast ocean. Strong Waves thrashed him about yet he still struggled on swimming towards shore. Doesn't move with the waves but stands against it's strong force. Till one day a different force took all his strength away and the waves continued to thwack, disregarding by his previous acts of resistance.

The emotions it spoke was honest-to-god sincere,unidealized, raw. The morals it displayed was pure and righteous. It speaks the truth and thrives for the truth. It screams to reach out the hearts of people as the protagonist did and the movie certainly touched mine, from the very first minutes. It speaks about expectations and reality. The plot is quite simple, but very puissant. Yet it is incredibly hard for any movie, form of writing, or person to convey it adequately. But this movie did.

This movie wasn't about the unsuccessful conducts of a person who sought something different, it is about how a single person strived and made an incredible effort for something he genuinely believed in. Because of that, that person received remarkable satisfaction.
