Analysis

N.P. Ismail directed this movie to emphasize the importance of traditional farming and the hurdles traditional farmers encounter from time to time. The director has chosen the name of the film I.R.8 due to the high yield of that rice variety during high famine conditions. In this film, the farmer made a choice that was against by other farmers. We get enthralled by the fact that he is always against artificial fertilizers and pesticides, no matter how low the yield is. This film conveys a powerful message to the audience by evoking awareness toward agriculture using visual styles. The cinematography should have been made better, especially in prominent scenes. Among many films with lavish productions and a huge budget, this film is worth watching at least once.
