The Darjeeling Limited

An interesting film that highlights the infantilism and barbarism of Western man. The three brothers are appealing but childish, and they have their good side - as when the brother plunged into the water to save the drowning people. But basically they are unmannered slobs, who more or less think the world is
there to accomodate their wishes. They are spoiled heirs of the Western hegemon
and lack discipline and civilized values. It was disturbing to me to see all of these things displayed in a sort of unserious, post-modernistic "ironic" tone, as if nothing mattered.
