This film was very powerful but sad at the same time. Its crazy how some people have to live in other countries. I think that its sad how so many women had to live their lives like that back in India. Its a good thing how over time people and their beliefs change i think that change is a great thing. In this film about the widows in India they had a widow house where the widows lived. You could become a widow at any age cause the marriages are arranged so you could be married and not know who your husband is he could be however older than you. But as a female if your married you wear these two bracelets on your wrist to state that your married. When you become a widow you get your hair cut off as well as your bracelets that state that you are married then you go with all the other widows in the widow house. you can become a widow at any age it does not matter.
The directer of this film still made this movie even though people were angry at her for trying to do this film there were alot of people that did not want her to make this film cause it would make some people look bad. so i think she did the right thing cause i never knew or could ever think that something would ever be happening in this world that i live in.

Water
"Water" I thought this movie was very powerful. I was very impressed by the way widows people lived back in 1938 and still live now in those conditions. Back then woman's used to get married when they were little, and the sad part is that if their husbands die they can't live a normal life. They have to move away from their family, their life's completely change once their husband die. I cant believe what those woman's went through it was a lot.
Anyways this movie taught me many things, i learned that no matter what you are going through is important to be faithful, and hopeful never give up because the end can be enjoyable. I particular recommend you to watch this movie, is amazing.

water, was a huge eye opener and painful for others.
to see how women go though these types of conditions on a daily bases.
while some of us here are more consumed with what color our hair is, and when can we go shopping. It literally sickens me. to see how people can treat there kids like cattle instead of like a human. telling them when to sit, stand, beg ,or go find away to make money for who you may call your mother figure.
Chuyia was very young when her life was already chosen for her.By the time she was seven she was married to a man that she may have never seen before. the cause of his death is not mentioned, but it landed her in a widow camp. full of women who also lost there husbands as well.
she was unaware of where she was and that she had to live under harsh laws from there head leader DiDi. who is a very selfish, low down, disgusting, and cold hearted excuse of a women.
Also while living at this place she has befriended two of the women another named DiDi and Kalyani. As she sees the true nature of the world that she lives in. The lady DiDi acted as a mother figure to help her along this life.
It was hard to watch this movie. it really was cause i have gone through alot of the same situations that Chuyia faced. i would recommend this movie to alot of people, cause i beleive that this video might change your look out on life.

Water is a very touching film.
Chuyia is interesting and deep character. Being a widow so young and thinking your family will come back to get you from the widow home must be hard.
Kalyani, the only one with long hair helps chuyia feel comfortable in the widow home. Kalyani goes through so much being sent across the river for Didi to get money for the widow home.
Narayan, the guy Kalyani wants to marry is very curious and you can see he is very strong in his beliefs.
I liked the movie water because it shows you how much people can go through no matter how young. It was very touching to me that Shakuntala, was willing to help....

Water Review
Water was a very touching movie. I really enjoyed learning about a new culture. The story takes place in India in a time when women were taken to a place where if their husband had passed they would have their hair cut off, wear only white clothing and be known as "widows". They can't be remarried or really do anything, so pretty much their lives are taken from them completely.
The plot of the movie was based around three main characters whose names are Chuyia, Kalyani, and Narayan. Chuyia is a young girl of about seven or eight. She was sent to live in the house of widows where Kalyani the "whore" of the house was practically the only one who made her feel comfortable. Kalyani went on to marry a Gandhi follower (Narayan) who didn't believe in the old laws.
I thought the characters were very well thought out, and so was the story line. The only real problem i had with the film at all was the ending. I thought it was unfinished and it left me wondering.
Overall, i felt the film sent a good message, but i was rather disappointed with the ending. I recommend to anyone who is interested in learning about the India culture.

water review
uh.. the movie water was pretty alright. eh, i liked what the movie was about and the message of the movie. it seemed real and the music and the language they were speaking kept me interested. heh heh.. umm.. but it was pretty weird. they wore no shoes and they were wearing like sheets or something of that sort. oh and there was this guy who dressed like a chick (how queer).
hmm the movie (from what i saw) was (''was'' is ''saw'' backwards ha ha) about a lady that was married when she was younger but then her hubby died or something and she became a widow. later on in life she met this one guy and i don't know she got a crush and he asked her to marry him but she thought she couldn't because she was a widow then she committed suicide..... hmm what are the odds of that. err .. then there was a little girl who was like sent to ''play'' wit this old guy.. ugh pretty messed up. eh and thats all i can remember.
the movie sounds pretty messed up but it was real good.

Water
The movie Water was a very emotional and educational film. It has the potential to touch your heart and teach you about other cultures. Its is and inspirational story that shows that women and men arent always treated as equals and that its not always fair. Women can over come and prove the importance of there freedom as individuals.
The story takes place in India in a time when widows were treated very badly. At any age they could be forced to live in a certain house where the widows lived only. They were not allowed to wear any colors or grow their hair long, most of them shaved there head bald. The widows were not allowed to re-marry or socialize with other people. It was thought of as a sin.
The main character is a 7 year old girl named Chuyia who's husband dies before they were married. Her parents send her to live in the house of widows where she is supposed to live out her live in purity. She then meets another widow named Kalyani who is in her 20's and befriends her without questions. Kalyani is considered the most beautiful of the widows because she is allowed to keep her long hair. She meets a man named Narayan and they fall in love and plan to marry against the wishes of their families. It turns into a conflict and Kalyani takes her own life. Chuyia is then sent off with Narayan to follow Gandhi and his beliefs.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone. I can change the way people value what they have and their freedom.
