Reviews(Top) : Samige Kathawa / Sam's Story (2011) was based on Captain Elmo Jayawardane's novel of the same name, Sam's Story (2001).Sirirathna or Sam is a child and a man who struggles with poverty, disabilities he bought from birth, and threats from the external environment. Life gets worse with the civil war in Sri Lanka. All these struggles and pressures are depicted artistically by the filmmaker to the viewers.How the Sri Lankan civil war impacted the high and lower social tiers of Sri Lanka, how racism functions in Sri Lanka, the differences in ideologies of rich and poor are depicted in the film in a beautiful manner.This film is an accurate and realistic reflection of the Sri Lankan society by using very tactical cinematography and beautiful musical compositions.The main role of Sam played by Jagath Chamila and a sub role is played by Sanath Gunathilaka is an unforgettable acting performance.Though I have not read the novel published in 2001, the film was filled with humanity and brings tears to the viewer's eyes.
