The Confusion on Food

I found The Lunchbox to be a very humorous story about something that could potentially happen in everyday life. The main aspect of this movie was the mistaken delivery of one man's lunch to another, which could have been easily altered, and a woman who consults here aunt for advice on what to cook him next. The story seems ridiculous but when it is viewed, it makes perfect sense. The film expresses life and love wonderfully, and it throws in just enough humor to make the film upbeat and in good spirits. With this being said, it does have a darker side to it as well...
The thing that I can't get out of my head, about this film, was the blind folded game. I don't remember its exact name but it is brought up a few times throughout the movie. The mother had her child cover her dies when she jumped and the little girl was playing with her doll as it was blind folded. This whole aspect of the movie didn't seem to fit in, at first, but now looking back it seems to make perfect sense. The characters literally jumped all in, eyes closed, and never looked back. Although the one led to death, it was still a critical aspect of the story. "Even if you board the wrong train, it still might lead you to the right destination."
Overall, I really enjoyed this film. I liked the characters, I liked the story, and I liked the interaction of this film with people in modern day lives. Many of the main points of this film apply to many different people and I like the film all the more for doing that. And most of all, I love the film for not showing an ending. I adore the film for ending without a conclusion because for a story about life, not having an end seemed most fitting.

The Lunchbox

A lot of people were complaining about the ending of lunchbox and I really liked it so I am going to do my best to explain at least why I think it was ended in the way it was.  The big line from the film was “sometimes the wrong train will get you to the right destination.”, it was said several times throughout the film and is even in the last letter written by Ila to Saajan and then at the end of the note lies the key, at least in my opinion to the entire ending she says “We’ll see.”.  This shows that Ila is nervous about doing what many people in her culture would consider wrong, leaving her husband to be with a much older man.  Likewise Saajan is going to be with a much younger woman and doesn’t know how he feels about it.  So in both of their minds they are on the “wrong train” and they don’t know whether this train will continue on to it’s wrong destination, rejection and regret, or if it will bring them to the right destination, happiness.  In the end of the movie Ila is getting ready to go to the train station and Sajaan is on a train to her house and then it ends.  I believe that this is done to give the audience the same feeling that is currently being felt by the two main characters.  I like this ending as it makes the characters more relatable and adds more weight to their decisions to go against convention.
