Water

The Movie Water focuses mainly on woman who have been widow's for several years now. Living in India they have their own spiritual beliefs when it comes to marriage. Their beliefs on widow's are "Once a widow, always a widow". The movie starts off with a little girl named Chuyia. Chuyia is forced to live in the Widows home only being about 7-8 years of age, because her husband had died. She knows nothing but to be confused living there. As days go by Chuyia learns more and more everyday of different beliefs, and multiple personalities. She meets a beautiful woman named Kalyana, and things start to change from there.

This movie gets two thumbs up in my opinion. It's educational, funny, and intense in some ways. If your wanting to learn something knew about different cultural beliefs and what not, Water is the PERFECT movie to see!

victors review

When Shule ( my english teacher) told the class we are gonna watch a foreign film i thought it was gonna be stupid lame and a waste of time, but it turn out to be a really good movie. i think its one of the best movies i ever seen. every movie has a message in it and i think there are 2 messages in the movie the first one is that Women are people to, you just can't go around treating them like crap treated like you would like to be treated. the second message is don't give up on hope. in the movie a girl name Kalyani a beautiful young widow fell in love with a man and (widows aren't able to fall in love and get married) was going to get married with him, but she didn't want to cause the mans father the one who was going to marry her was one of her clients and she thought his dad wouldn't like her to be with him so she killed her self by drowning she gave up on hope and she thought he didn't want her, but if she would of waited a litter more longer till the morning then she would of seen that he did wanted to marry her. anyways this movie was really good. i say if you haven't seen this movie then your just a loser watch the movie!

Water

We watched the movie Water, in Shule's class.

So it's about a little 7 year old girl named Chuyia. She has an arranged marriage, her hsband dies, and she has to go live at a house of widows. She meets Kalyani in the house of widows. Chuyia is so young she doesn't really know what's going on, she just wants to like have fun and explore. She is a really adventurous little girl. Well the movie shows how lives of widows are in India. It isn't a life anyone would like to live, it's sad. Didi would treat them like trash. Kalyani shouldn't have drowned herself. At the end Shakuntela gives Chuyia to Narayan so she could have a better life.

I say that Shakuntela should have gone with Narayan and Chuyia in the train. She was a very good person, she cared about the other widows. Especially about Chuyia. I say she deserved to have a better life that's why i would have liked the movie better if she left on the train with Chuyia and Narayan. Kalyani should have gotten married to Narayan at the end too. This movie like shows us that we are lucky, because we don't have a bad life like some of the widows in India. We should be thankful for that. It could have been a better ending but other than that it was a good movie. I say it's worth watching it.(:

Anthony's movie review

Well i think that it was not to good of a movie first because um i don't really like the movie's plot or story .well i get the message but it should have been done much better and better actors and not just idain girl it should be about every girl because it i think that every girl should deserve to merry who she wants. now going back to the movie well i did not like it the message was good but not my style. even tho no one deserves that i think the movie should have been better why you ask?? because not only would we see the movie (which shule made us watch) a lot more other people would maybe understand that girls or women should be treated with respect all over the world people don't realize that if it wasnt for women we would be really shallow hahaha.....

well i don't recommend this movie to people how get bored fast and that don't have no closure i would give two big thumbs DOWN! well yup soo this is my blog (which shule also made me do) hahahah.

Water Movie Review

I think its crazy how in the movie WATER how the widows have to live their life day to day. For example like how they cant eat fried foods and sweets and like the normal Indian people don't like to interact or talk to the widows its almost like the homeless people at Wal Mart that have the signs and ask for money ha ha ha ha :). It almost reminds me of slaves because how they are treated so bad.

Also its crazy how, a leader for like in a 2nd or 3rd world country can make such a stand or like a change in millions of peoples lives. Like when Shakuntala took Chuyia to get blessed by Gandhi so that Chuyia could be "pure" again. Well i would recommend this movie maybe to older teens or adults because some teenagers are to immature to handle the movie and cant be quiet so everyone else can watch the movie in peace. There are parts in this movie that may not be suitable for young children. Well all together i like this movie, it was really interesting.

I would give this movie two thumbs up...

Water Movie Review

This movie Water takes place in India, in the year 1938. This movie is about girls who loose there husbands. They then get there heads shaved, cause its less attractive, then get sent to a little place called "the house of the widows" with other widows. Some of the woman there dont eat fried foods or sweets, and have many other restrictions. There is a little girl named Chayia, who gets sent to this place after her 'older' husband passes away. She meets and becomes friends with an older woman Kalyari. Throughout most of the movie, these two are together. They then run into a man named Nardayan. Kalyari begins to like the guy, but you will have to watch it to find out what happens.
I think that it was a pretty good movie. I give it a thumbs up.

WATER

I think Water is a good movie. I liked the movie because it was interesting. Something that kept me watching the movie was that I wanted to see what happens to the characters and if they were aloud to marry again. I recommend this movie to teenagers and adults because younger kids wouldn't understand it as much.
