Water is a remarkable film. It takes place in India, 1938. It's about a eight year old little girl named Chuyia and her forced life. In India their are arranged marriages and once you become widowed, before or after the wedding, you must live life as a widow. Alone and in tuned to your purity. Chuyias arranged husband got sick and died. This meant Chuyia was now and forever a widow. Her father took her to her new home. The house of the widows where she comes along a few other widows with stories of their own. The movies just goes on spreading a message across your soul of many things. Many feelings and so much of a life lesson.
The depth of the story was truly spirit grabbing. I adore the way Deepa Metha showed the widows lifestyle in India without knocking on people from India. She still showed how beautiful the culture and spirituality of the Indians and Hindus are. It's touching and honest. She made the movie brilliantly. I completely fell in love with it.
I'd give it 6 out of 5 stars.

I like the title that you made, nobody has anything like it. and your wording and everything else was really good
ReplyDeleteNice review Aliya! I, like Shule, loved your title. Great imagery and it really goes with what the film makes people feel! I also like how you said that the movie was not disrespectful in any way to Indians. That is interesting seeing many people would probably say that it is disrespectful because of the way the widows had to live. I guess it really boils down to how people of different cultures always call other cultures wrong or horrible. Well done, Aliya!
