Movie Reviews of 1947 Earth
Movie Review: without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
i watch this movie each time I have forgotten that it succeeds in ripping your heart out of your chest. its characters are honest and real. It shows the vile character of fear and hatred which arise in the consensus of human beings. Where people gather, they seek to divide. All that is hopeful is lost in political pressure and the fear hatred and murder that ensue. This is our downfall from now until the end of time but where that truism could become repetitious, this story keeps from becoming stale by truly endearing you to the characters it will show to have these faults. In the end you feel so helpless that you understand the size and power that the fear and hate can achieve. I watch this movie each time I have forgotten that it succeeds in ripping your heart out of your chest, to remember at that cost, its lesson through a directors technique and care that leaves me wanting for nothing.Movie Review: Devastating Film on the Partition of India
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a devastating film about the partition of India seen through the eyes of a little girl in Lahore. A wealthy family Parsee family who follow the religion Zoroastrianism (which is an ancient Persian religion) have a beautiful Hindu nanny who attracts the young men and the family dotes after. As the independence of India nears and the partition of India becomes more likely, the tension between Muslims and Hindus are intense. While Sikhs and Parsees tend to live on the sidelines, they find it difficult to resist the pressures of the Muslim majority. The hatred of Hindus grow. What can a little girl make of the tension and how does her nanny feel about all this?Movie Review: Eye Opener
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie opened my eyes to India and it's diversity, as well as it' past. I first saw "Earth" about three years ago, and I have been in love with the Indian people ever since. I think that "Earth" illuminates for Western eyes what happened in India after WWII and shows how much love her people can have regardless of where you come from. I know this is a bit of an idealization, because there is a lot of hate there too, but an overwhelming feeling of love of life and of earth is what "Earth" gave to me. Thank you Deepa.Movie Review: Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
This child's-eye view of historic unrest in newly postcolonial India, which erupted in violence after independence and the creation of Muslim Pakistan, is a timely film about ethnic and religious conflict wrapped around a story of forbidden love. Seductive and sorrowful, "Earth" boasts fine acting - including a rousing turn by Aamir Khan, as Shanta's lover-turned-embittered-bigot, Ice Candy Man - and exquisite, honey-hued photography by lensman Giles Nuttgens.Movie Review: You will be affected!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film on a Sunday afternoon many months ago. I have been profoundly changed by this engaging story. It has many layers that I think I will incorporate it into my college class as a topic for class viewing and discussion.
So many nuances concerning religion, conversion, love and a child's trust. Jealousy, bravery, intolerance have been wonderfully illustrated in a way that I have rarely seen covered so well in one film.
