Quite enjoyed the movie - perhaps I was on another plane?!

Whatever poetic licence the director employed, the movie as a whole was interesting; not true to fact or records but, interesting nevertheless.

* Left Handed or Right - perhaps the actor playing the part of Corbett was left handed and wanted to portray his weapon skills more naturally with his south paw?

* Romantic liaisons - seemed to me more like the lady wanting to communicate with 'someone' desperately in a land where she could not talk to anybody aside form her husband; also the movie did not depict any fruition of romance - just a dalliance born out of this loneliness, perchance? JC still came away in the end, the gentleman that he probably was! So was his friend - very British to the end.

* I do not think this was a true rendering of JC's life and times at that point - Man-eater of Rudraprayag - simply an idea based on the life and times of JC, that was made into a movie.

* I admired the few twists about the mystic and supernatural that the director wove in to spice up some scenes

* In the goodbye scene I particularly liked the way the script writer played with the title of JC used by the lady, Captain an then again as Jim - nice. Depicted mixed feelings of admiration of different parts of the same man.

Just my personal observations.

Again, thanks for sharing...
