Chuck, thanks for continually posting about this film, as I don't seem to get out much these days to talk to other adults about movies, I'm too busy to scour the web for further explanations of the film, and I missed the critical tiger going into the jungle scene because I was taking my 7 yr old to the bathroom (and hearing a description of the pivotal scene from my 13 yr old made it all the more difficult to interpret). On the other hand I was surprised to find that, in spite of the heavy themes, all 3 of my kids (age 7, 11, 13) actually loved the movie. I guess movies about tigers are just generally cool.
