Movie Reviews of Before the Rains
Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars
A story of a colonialist oppressor who is willing to interact with the locals when it benefited him (ex. having an affair with local women) and his refusal to meddle with cultural affairs when he didn't want to be targeted (ex. women missing). While I didn't like the Henry character, Linus Roache did a wonderful job portraying him.
Rahul Bose as T.K is another wonderful and natural performance as a man who is caught between two worlds, the Western world and his own village. Henry, T.K, and Sajani are all compelling characters wrestling with their own different moral principles. This is a beautifully photographed film.
Movie Review: Beautiful Movie, Poor Casting
Summary: 4 Stars
Before the Rains beautifully captures the tragedy of sexual attraction between a master and his slave. The slave never wins! Nandita Das turns in a commendable performance as an infatuated young woman who perceives the attention of the debonair British man as true love
The main problem I have with this movie is the casting of Rahul Bose. It is almost painful to hear his malayalam (being a malayalee myself). Given the plethora of fantastic Malayalam movie industry actors some of whom were cast in this movie why choose him?
Movie Review: Well Acted
Summary: 4 Stars
The acting was well done. It was an interesting view of the time period and the cultural differences. Not a happy movie, but worth watching.Movie Review: Before the Rains
Summary: 3 Stars
Interesting story of English ruling in India. Amazing scenery. This movie has a story within a story - building a road, story of the gun, story of our main character's affair and the death of his lover. I'm still trying to figure what happened to Moores at the end of movie. He's sitting in the rain in the middle of the road and then, suddenly, he just gone. Did he leave India, was he also killed - what happened to him. The movie left that unfinished.Movie Review: Before The Rains
Summary: 1 Stars
Before the Rains was definitely a disappointment. The opening scenes begin with the leading characters in an adulterous affair. In the next scene the couple take off to go look for honey in the nearby wooded area and are discovered making love in a sacred pool. From this point on, the two lovers are telling lies to cover up this forbidden affair and lastly a death. I would not recommend the romantic at heart to buy this movie.
