“I think this is a brilliant movie, it's called Hero also by Ray and it's just about an actor who gets on a train and what's so great is he's so famous and as he is in the train and he goes to like the restaurant car or the bathroom he runs into different classes of people who tell him the truth. And it's kind of stunning to watch.”

“Hero by Satyajit Ray I am just taking because I haven't seen it yet and I really want to.”
