"The nation must be very worried about its ball"
Just finished watching " MONGOLIAN PING PONG" - a charming movie that alluringly takes you to the far away world of Mongolia.This is a story of 3 Mongolian kids who find a ping-pong ball and take it on themselves to find out what mystery the ball holds. Later, they learn [watching / hearing a tv show, this itself is a very interesting scene] that the ping-pong is a "National Ball of China". And so, now they start their journey to China to return the ball to the "Nation" because, they think "The nation must be very worried about its ball".
The innocence and originality of the characters and the un-adulterated way of showing the incidents makes the movie a charm to watch. This movie reminded me of "The weeping camel" for its similarity in the visuals and backdrop. Also, it brought to my mind another movie "The God must be crazy" where an aborigine runs around, trying to find out the mystery behind a "cocacola" bottle.
I would watch any of these three movies multiple time ... and I am sure, I will enjoy every single time.
