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.
