Water Movie Review; Brooke and Natalia

Deepa Mahta's movie Water was a very interesting movie.

Water's main purpose was to show how people in India live their life and what type of things Indian girls and women go through just to show respect to their family, religion, and tradition.

In the movie it brings up a lot about Gandhi and what he believed in was right or wrong, he is a very powerful man.

Water presses onto the viewers how much is expected of women in daily life, tradition is that when you are born or even before birth you have an assigned marriage by your family's choice, and you may not even know them but, you wear two red bangles until official marriage.

When or if your husbands die you are sent to a widows home and are cursed to hell.

If you are to bump into any untainted married women or men they have been cursed by you and shall bath in the holy water.

Chuyia, the main character, only 7 years old is a very strong leader in the movie, and stubborn aswell.

Kalyani, the second main character, she is also a widow but, Didi, the elder of the widows housing, keeps Kalyani's hair long to send her across the river to go meet "clients" for money.

Narayan. about in his late 20's early 30's, is a very important character, he brings Kalyani out of the widows housing and they fall in love and are to be RE-married and be together for ever.

In our opinion, the movie Water is alright, but it's not what was expected because we feel as if Kalyani should have lived, the movie had a good story line and brought up a lot of good main points but, the beggining was good, middle and end was sort of good until the very ending where Kalyani died.

The movie was rated at 4 stars we'd give it about 3 stars.
