A life affirming movie
Review date: 2003-10-10 Rating: 8 out of 10
Once in a while a film comes along that has the power to change your mind about certain pre-conceived ideas. This is one such film. City of Joy never shys away from the power of its message and its graphic picture of life in a poor part of a large and spralling Indian city. Yes, at times it can be a little hard to swallow - the big American doctor (Patrick Swayze) waltzing onto the scene - but its not over sickly sweet and you come away feeling that you have been taught a valuable lesson. That life is for living, not for spectating and you must live each moment and treasure each experience; savour it. You never know when it can be taken from you.

Patrick Swayze and Pauline Collins feature in this story of a doctor who cannot save a young girl so he goes to India for a new experience. Here Patrick Swayze meets Pauline Collins a nurse and finds himself working in her small treatment clinic. This film shows you what it is like to live in a third world country, it shows you how people live in fear and hope and the journey of a group of characters which is heart warming and brilliant to watch.
