Movie Reviews of Water
Movie Review: a beautifully crafted hindi film
Summary: 4 Stars
the culture burden, the taboo, the falsehood, the self-righteous, self-serving traditionally burdened old society, the heartless and cruel world created by the male. so many tragedies were generated and created by these elements, sometimes protected and praised by the conservatism of the social extremists who never consider that the heart of a human being is such free will existence, no matter how hard you tried to surpress and refrain it, it would set itself free in the end. the blind worship of the religions and gods have done a lot of good but at the same time, extremely bad and worst things are also created. 'fire', 'earth', then this 'water' as a trilogy of the struggles and suffers of the different classes in nowadays india, yet not just limited to that country only, it applied to almost every country with overly zestful religion belief. it's a tragedy created by we human beings only. no other animals or creatures have to deal with such trauma on a daily basis. and don't think valentine is not a bugging mind control tradition that now only served purely for commercial purpose. say amen, here., because that little girl finally escaped from her unwilling child-window condition but, for how long?Movie Review: A pleasure for your senses.

This is the first movie of Deepa Methta's trilogy that I watch. I have never seen any of her work before, and I'm really pleased and impressed with her talent. The photography and music are a delight for the senses, and both directing and acting are superb. The movie awoke in me such paradoxical emotions... I was delighted with the images, landscapes, actors, dialogues, but at the same time I became more and more indignant as the film went by.
I can't digest this kind of treatment towards women. It really amazes me how so many and different cultures around the world think of women as second class citizens, or worse. As impure, as sinners, as disposable objects. And regardless of the time period this is the current treatment for many women around the world. They get ostracized, shunned or killed based on religious beliefs. And in a less obvious way, but it also happens in modern industrialized countries. Still, the movie is a beautiful piece of art worth watching. And as a woman, I do feel empathy for all those women who have to go through this kind of experiences in their lives, and I admire them for enduring them with their heads held high.

Summary: 4 Stars
Chuiya's compelling performance in India's controversial movie Water shows the world the hardships of religous values in India. During a time of battle between the British and Ghandi, Chuyia shines a light that helps Kalyani, a widow fall in to the arms of Narayan. Widows during this time had no rights, and were treated as if they were half-dead. Chuyia being an 8 year old widow, and not remembering her own marriage had no idea the life that she had to live following the death of her husband. Narayan's quest to follow Ghandi, and go with newer traditions brought him to question marriage with a widow.These traditions are what the widows live by, changing them would be a sin. So ultimately would the marriage that Kalyani and Narayan are destined for affect the views and traditions the rest of the widows have? Will Chuyia live her life half-dead? A great movie to capture the mind of everyone around the world. A brilliant peice, that's real and motivating.Movie Review: Water

Interesting title for a moving story...that must be why; it moves you to think about how grateful to be born a Westerner. Life as a widow can be painful as an adult imagine being a widow at eight and not even realise that you are. Well worth watching.Movie Review: Indian cinema
Summary: 4 Stars
Anyone who enjoys Indian cinema. Bollywood cinema or just a study of humam nature and situations will find this movie compelling.
It shows a woman struggling for her dignity and self worth against enormous odds.
