Power of One
I did not enjoy this movie. I thought it was poorly done,
the camera shots
were very basic, it was extremely predictable and “deja vu”.
Since I am no
Leonar Maltin and this assignement does not ask for a movie
critique , i will
say no further. If we take into factors what I already stated
above , I guess
you already know what I think of the ending. I will now expose my
train of
thoughts while answering the question.
The two scenes that I found the most signifcant in this
movie were th one
where the boxer friends loses his eye and Pk's girlfriend dies.
Considering
those two scenes, Idont think this was a very realistic ending.
Pk's girlfriend
dies, and two minutes later he does not care, he's already off
singing and
dancing. The same happens with the boxer friend. He loses an eye.
Who cares? I
mean it's only an eye , we've got so many of those that we can
manage to lose
one or two.
What would happen to Pk is he would he would be caught by
the Afrikaaners
police and probably be tortured and killed ; same thing with
the boxer friend.
Than it would not an american movie anymore, it would be too
realistic,

something the american public, and too a lesser extent the
general public does
not appreciate.
I believe this ending is not realistic as Pk loses his
greatest love(or
so they make us believe in the movie) dies and he does not care
and continues
to fight the “bad guys”, not thinking about her ever again in the
movie. Same
thing with his boxer friend, who just continues to live on like
nothing ever
happened.
I already stated above what should have been done to make
this a more
realistic ending. The boxer should have crushed psychologically
and should have
dropped all activities against the governement. Same thing with
Pk.
I have tried to explain what was wrong with this movie,
while exposing my
train of thoughts on the plot.
