  • Analysis of Lion (2016) As an Adapted Biopic of “A Long Way Home”
    Pakistan Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (PJMR) Vol. 1, Issue 2, Dec 2020 Analysis of Lion (2016) as an Adapted Biopic of “A Long Way Home” M Asif Ikram Anjuma Lecturer, Department of Humanities, CUI Lahore campus *Correspondence Address: [email protected] Abstract The present study sets out to analyses a biopic - Lion (2016) which is adapted from Saroo Brierley‘s bestselling book “A Long Way Home (2013)”. The book and the movie depict the incredible life history of SarooBrierley, a five years old child and now a young man who used modern technology “Google Earth” to rediscover himself including his childhood life and hometown in India. At the age of five, the unfortunate SarooBrierley got lost in a local train in India which caused him to face many dreadful realities of life in Calcutta before being formally adopted by an Australian couple through an orphanage. The analysis of the study reveals that the movie qualifies for Giannetti’s (2008) concept of faithful adaptation as well as Wagner’s (1975) two modes of adaptation i.e. transposition and commentary. The present study also addresses Stam’s (2000) criticism on strict fidelity to discuss medium specificity approach. The study concludes that biopic, representative of its genre, has specific conventions and the movie Lion (2016) successfully qualifies for biopic as a genre. Keywords: Biopic Genre, faithful, transposition, commentary Introduction The present study aims to analyze the movie “Lion (2016)” as an adaptation of the book A Long way Home (2013). Broadly speaking, autobiography is difficult to define because it is used synonymously with memoir, life writing, self-narrative and it almost denotes all the modes of telling one’s own life.

    MARCH 2017 www.Asia Times.US PAGE 1 www.Asia Times.US Globally Recognized Editor-in-Chief: Azeem A. Quadeer, M.S., P.E. March 2017 Vol 8, Issue 3 China receives its largest foreign drone order An undisclosed buyer has placed the largest overseas or- der for China’s home-developed military drones, the Xin- hua news agency has reported, in a boost for the Chinese arms industry’s efforts to increase export volumes. The order for the Wing Loong II was placed before the next-generation unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) suc- cessfully completed its maiden flight, Xinhua said late on Monday, citing the system’s developer Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute. It did not identify the buyer or the size of the order. The Wing Loong II, which has wingspan of more than 20 metres (65 feet), is a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV that has both reconnaissance and strike capabilities. It conducted a 31-minute flight for the first time on Mon- day after taking off from a runway in western China. “Its flight marks China’s new generation reconnaissance and strike UAV. Following the United States, China be- comes another country capable of developing such new- generation, large reconnaissance and strike UAV,” said Li Yidong, chief designer of the series, whose programme is overseen by the state-owned Aviation Industry Corp of China. China has been stepping up research into military drones ness to sell to countries that Western states are reluctant buyers for its drones include Nigeria, Pakistan and Egypt. in the hope that it can steal market share from the United to deal with.

  • Production Notes
    LION PRODUCTION NOTES Publicity materials are available at: twcpublicity.com Running Time: ~ 120 mins MPAA Rating: TBD Short Synopsis Short Synopsis Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. Synopsis In LION, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning. With just a small store of memories, and the help of a new technology called Google Earth, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Adapted from the memoir “A Long Way Home” by Saroo Brierley, LION is directed by Emmy Award-nominated Garth Davis (Top Of The Lake) from a screenplay by Luke Davies (Candy, Life).
