Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I saw this film in high school and have been haunted by it ever since. Beautiful photography. Hard to believe the actors in the movie were acting, it seemed so real. As I recall, it's the story of how, when natural order in the jungle is changed so that a tiger becomes a maneater, the leading character goes after the tiger and, in the end, is killed. He was also a flute player which is where the title comes from, "The Flute and the Arrow." There's a lot more to the movie than what I'm mentioning. It's definitely worth seeing.

Seven years old, holding my grandmother´s hand, I saw this movie, from which I don´t remember the story; it was more of a natural drama created by the Indian jungle where the tigers live. Chendru learns about live and let live - but also about death and killing.
