Apt title,"City of Joy"

Lately I've been watching so many of Patrick Swayze's movies. He is really a great artist with many distinguished talents. I am amazed. He seems to always do movies that have heart. I'm not sure what the well known think we want to see in a movie, but I'm so glad I cannot take their reviews to heart to the point that it keeps me away from movies that are good. Patrick was living in a city that had a lot to offer, the best medical equipment, but losing a child along with other pressures, he felt he needed to escape; yet life's problems seems to be every where. He ends up in a place called the "City of Joy",that looks hopeless. Among destitution and crime he finds meaning again and peace worth staying and fighting for. A great job, can't wait for movies made for the year "2000".

Okay, but not a classic.

This film is good if you want a moving story. It is not, however, a good movie to show to people who have no idea what Indian life is like. Overall, the acting isn't too bad and there are some good morals.

A Valuable Lesson Learned

While I can appreciate the feelings of previous reviewers in relation to the Hollywood spin on this movie, overall I found it to be quite moving. It is not a subject to be taken lightly, nor do I believe the creators approached it in such a manner. Patrick Swayze was decent in the starring role and , having lived and traveled in India, I found it to be an accurate portrayal of what I witnessed first-hand. Sometimes, seeing is believing and the power of the moving image can outweigh that of the printed word.
