Boot polish



Sången Nanhe Munne Bachche Teri ur den indiska (hindi) filmen, Boot Polish, från 1954 av Prakash Arora och Raj Kapoor.

Wikipedia om filmen

En kommentar från The Internet Movie Database:

"This film ranks as one of the finest thought provoking social dramas asking how we look at ourselves given the limited resources and choices and faced with overwhelming odds.

Raj Kapoor's presentation of the humble lifestyle of two children who wish to overcome the obstacles of abject poverty shows the importance of the spirit of endurance and dedication in the face of adversity. We can learn from children when they try to face challenges in the world created by greedy souls.

I would recommend this film as a lesson in the triumph of the human spirit when facing the evils of man made adversity. We probably can relate to the two young protaganists of the film in our everyday lives.

Life can be a bitch, and films such as Boot Polish show the more dramatic encounters of what we call the human struggle."
