Brief synopsis: (Don't read if haven't seen):
Reclusive albino child with extraordinary siddhis. Also has capacity to make
others experience the suffering they create--key scene where he comes upon
deer hunters who have joyfully just shot a deer, who is slowly dying. Powder
grabs the deer and then the hunter and "transfers" the dears suffering to
the hunter, forever changing him.
Downside: despite graphic/intense moments in some of the scenes, it does
still retain a certain Disney-esque quality.
Cool side: first movie other than Jesus movies to show someone dissolve into
rainbow-light as a conscious death choice.
Good to show to kids who have been subjected to bullying or to those who
have been/are bullies.
