The Movie - A Passage to India

People recommend A Passage to India movie (Passaggio in India).

Movie Is being made - in 1984.


FAKE: At the closing of the copy, near channel of Dr. Aziz write a epistle, a display with firework be going next to al fresco his porthole. The colors red, playground, and purple all circle stirring all equally at two put a barrier between interval, indicating studio lights instead of fireworks., CONT: When Adela climbs up the hill and goes into the cave, she is wearing white shoes. When she runs down the hill, she is wearing black shoes., GEOG: When Stella gets out of the car to view the Himalayas, she turns her head slowly from left to right to view each summit, then finally looks in the middle. However, each summit that she looks at has a shadow on a different side, and the final shot of a summit has no shadow at all., SYNC: In a faraway shot at the "bridge" party at the club, an all-Indian band is playing, but the conductor's beat pattern is off- the song is in common time (4/4 time), but he is beating beat 3 when the band is playing beat 1., CONT: When Adela, Mrs. Moore, and Dr. Aziz are riding the elephant, the first close-up shot of Adela and Dr. Aziz shows certain landmarks on the rock in the background. The next shot is a long shot of the elephant's feet as it walks. The third shot is another close-up of Adela and Dr. Aziz passing the same landmarks at the same starting point., FACT: Exiting the caves, Mrs. Moore sees a full moon overhead in the mid-day sky. This is an astronomical impossibility.
Mrs. Moore: My dear, life rarely gives us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually., Mrs. Moore: God has put us on earth to love and help our fellow men.::Ronny: Yes, mother., Richard Fielding: [on the glasses found on Aziz after the latter's arrest] If Adela had hit him with it, he'd hardly take it with him.::McBryde: I'm not surprised.::Richard Fielding: I don't follow.::McBryde: When you think of crime, you think of English crime. The psychology's different out here., McBryde: [at the trial] Before we begin, I'd like to state what I believe to be a universal truth: the darker races are attracted to the fairer, but not vice-versa.::Advocate Amrit Rao: Even when the lady is LESS attractive than the gentleman? [court breaks out in laughter], Das: [Ali is carrying on during the trial] Please, this is no way to defend your case!::Ali: I am not defending a case - and YOU are not trying one! We are both slaves!::Das: Mr. Mahmoud Ali, if you don't calm down, I will have to exercise my authority.::Ali: Do so! This trial is a farce! [throws papers off the desk] I'm going! I've ruined my career! [to Aziz] Farewell my friend!::Ali: Mrs. Moore! Where are you, Mrs. Moore?, Ali: How is Britain justified in holding India?::Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: Unfair political question!::Richard Fielding: No, no! Well, personally, I'm here because I need a job.::Ali: Qualified Indians also need jobs!::Richard Fielding: I got here first. [laughter] Well, I like it here and that's my excuse.::Advocate Hamidullah: And those Englishmen who do not like it here?::Richard Fielding: Chuck 'em out. [laughter]::Ali: Indians are also saying that., Major Callendar: [to Ronny, on Mrs. Moore] She's old - we musn't forget that. Old people never take things as one expects., Turton: [in a club meeting] There is a certain member here present who is known to be in contact with the defense. One can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds - at least not in this country!::Richard Fielding: I'd like to say something.::Turton: Please do.::Richard Fielding: I believe Dr. Aziz is innocent. I will await the verdict of the jury. If he is found guilty, I will resign my post and leave India. I resign from the Club now! [exits], Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: [to Ali and Hamidullah when Fielding visits] No, he does not need THREE chairs! He is NOT THREE Englishmen!, Ronny: [on Aziz] He was dressed in his Sunday best, and his back collar stud was out. And there you have the Indian all over., Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: You shouldn't walk alone, Mrs. Moore. There are bad characters about, and leopards may come down from the Marabar Hills - snakes also!::Mrs. Moore: You walk alone.::Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: I am used to it.::Mrs. Moore: Used to snakes?::Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: I'm a doctor - they dare not bite me!, Adela Quested: I do so hate mysteries.::Richard Fielding: We English do.::Mrs. Moore: I rather like mysteries - but I rather dislike muddles.::Richard Fielding: A mystery is only a high-sounding term for a muddle. Me and the Professor know that India is a muddle.::Professor Godbhole: Agreed, I am sorry to say., Indian crowd member #1: [pointing at Mr. Fielding and Adela leaving in the carriage] That was Mr. Fielding!::Indian crowd member #2: And Mrs. Moore!::Entire Indian crowd: Mrs. Moore! Mrs. Moore! Mrs. Moore!...

Tensions relating Indians and the colonial British come to a burning when a white feminine guest accuse a young-looking Indian run of the mill practitioner of rape during a call in to more than a few cavern. A become skilled at of colonial contact and the humour of remembrance. Based done E. M. Forster's new-fangled., Circa 1920, during the Indian British rule, Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed was born and brought up in India. He is proficient in English, and wears Western style clothing. He meets an old lady, Mrs. Moore, at a mosque, who asks him to accompany her and her companion, Adela Quested, for sight-seeing around some caves. Thereafter the organized life of Aziz is turned upside down when Adela accuses him of molesting her in a cave. Aziz is arrested and brought before the courts, where he learns that the entire British administration is against him, and would like to see him found guilty and punished severely, to teach all native Indians what it means to molest a British citizen. Aziz is all set to witness the "fairness" of the British system, whose unofficial motto is "guilty until proved innocent.", Adela Quested, a young Englishwoman, travels to India in the late 1920s to visit her fianc, a British magistrate posted in a small town; her traveling companion is his mother Mrs. Moore. They want to see something of the country and to meet everyday Indians, but are frustrated by the British community's insistence that relations with the locals are best experienced from a distance. Finally, a friend introduces them to a Muslim doctor whom Mrs. Moore had seen briefly on her visit to a mosque. He takes them on an outing to the nearby caverns (a local attraction), but what happens there threatens to destroy any civility between the British and Indian societies.
