ay. He helped Gray get out of his depression. The three of them met up with Sophie. Sophie is an old friend whose life is going down the drain after her family was killed. He and Sophie begin a romance and plan to be married. Isabel is upset about the announcement and drives Sophie to drink. Sophie is murdered and Elliot Templeton dies from a stroke. Larry begins to realize that no matter how you live your life there is no earthly reward, he then goes back to America. Each story is it’s own yet the same. Larry wants to feel fulfilled in life and he is searching for a way to do so. Siddhartha wants to become enlightened. Each trekked through India searching for answers. Larry and Siddhartha were both of the upper class. Both men were loved by all who came into contact with them. They both forged special relationships with women living unholy lives. Each walked out on their respective lives in search of truth. Both men reduced their living standards by freewill at one point in their lives. Certain teachers/guides have helped them find enlightenment. Each man learned and practiced a form of meditation. The two men were very similar and were after similar goals, they just took different paths. The Razor’s Edge and Siddhartha are two works that take you on life journeys. I really didn’t see any similarities the first time I saw the movie, but the next time I watched it I really noticed the similarities. In the end they both found enlightenment in some way. Larry realized there were no rewards in life and Siddhartha became Buddha....
