The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Q.1. What do you think is the main messages this movie is trying to deliver?

The playwright was trying to get quite a few messages when he created this play.

I think that this play/movie reveals the true messiness of life and how with the right mindset, you can make it through anything you

In the movie, there are many recurring themes such as, the never-ending supply of drummers, or the belief the main characters have of their extreme intelligence, when in fact they are not terribly bright. The movie also draws of real life parallels like in the case of John Lennon and

The film encompasses a variety of different themes as well. The issues are all connected to the different prejudices that are found in today’s society. Racism is the most dominant theme that is found in the film. Stereotyping is another theme that is viewed throughout this film.
