I watched "The Pool" today, because I didn't have anything better to do. I was expecting it to be boring, but I was pleasantly surprised. The premise of the film is a lower class Indian boy who becomes obsessed with a pool. He offers to work for the family who lives there in order to swim in it without being a thief. As much as that sounds like a non-existing storyline, it really isn't. The characters develop throughout the film and you can really relate to them. I found the film quite entertaining and uplifting, even though the subject matter is depressing. The depiction of lower class India was perfect, you will now thank God that you don't have to scrub bathroom floors. The ending is incredibly touching, and it made me thankful that I can go to school. I highly recommend this film. - Reed S.
