''City of Joy'' is a 1992 inspirational film starring Creator/PatrickSwayze by French director Roland Joffé (''Film/TheMission'' and ''Film/TheKillingFields''). The drama takes place amid the poverty of Calcutta slums.
The film begins when rural farmer Hazari Pal (Om Puri) moves to Calcutta with his wife Kamla (Shabana Azmi) and three children after a drought wipes out their village. They are soon cheated out of their rent money and become homeless. Hazari struggles to support his family, but eventually finds work as a rickshaw driver. But the family lives on the edge of economic disaster and struggles with goals like their daughter can't get married without a dowry.
Swayze plays Houston surgeon Max Lowe who feels despair after losing a young patient and then travels to Calcutta looking for spiritual enlightenment. A robbery leaves Lowe injured, broke, and without identification. Hazari helps Lowe recover by taking him to a slum named "City of Joy". Irish nurse Joan Bethel runs a free health clinic who eventually persuades a reluctant Lowe to contribute his medical skills.
!!This film provides examples:
* DespairEventHorizon: Max Lowe leaves his medical career in despair when a young patient dies. Lowe travels to Calcutta looking for spiritual enlightenment and hope. Inverted because Lowe becomes less depressed by the end of the movie from finding community with slum dwellers.
* FishOutOfWater: Both Hazari and Lowe are robbed when they were new to Calcutta and unprepared for its criminal element. This common experience helps begin their friendship.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: The original novel by Dominique Lapierre was more successful than the movie. The uplifting feeling of peace at the end of the novel is well earned. The book explore levels of poverty.
* GoodSamaritan: Hazari finds help for Lowe after Lowe was robbed, injured, and left without identification.
* WhiteMansBurden: Downplayed since Dr. Lowe came to Calcutta to shake himself out of depression, not save anybody, but he discovers that his medical skills could make a difference. Justified in the case of the Irish nurse Joan Bethel, since it is her job to run a free health clinic ministering to the sick and homeless.
