Water

Water was an extraordinary movie. its a moving movie about how widows in India spend there life after there husbands death. One of there beliefs is that a girl shall be married by the age of 7 or 8. In this movie a child is forced to be put in a house of widows all because of indigenous belief. All because of there husbands die they are considered polluted as a lady says in the movie. But in this film there is a young girl named Chuyia her husband died when she was at least 10 years old. She is sent off to a widow house and as she lives there she meets older ladies that live there like a girl named Kalyani. She also meets a man named Narayan and he seems like a respectful helpful man. As she lives at the widow house she sees how it is hard to live a life like a widow. Overall i think this is a moving movie to watch to see how other cultures do things.

The Lifes of widows in Africa

When I first watched Water, I was astonished and disappointed by the way the director did the movie. The emotions, the deep mental thinking, very neatly and thoroughly thought. The way the director put the way widows situation.
But the thing that is weird is that the way females get married. Getting married at age 7-9 years of age. It makes no sense. The female gets married, man dies later,later and at that time the females is 9-10 years of age. And now the girl is a widow. Now she is a widow for her rest of her life. And now she can get re-married. That's ridiculous. SOB. But anyways!!!

Cambiando de tema (changing the subject) Like when the chick (Narayani) is treated like hell. Very cruel. No one should treat a women like that. And the thing that is dramatic is she won't do anything about it. AND when she does do something. She goes to the river and kills herself.

I thought the movie water was extraordinary!!! Deepa Mehta showed many different morals of the Hindu religions in 1938. This movie showed that things may go differently then planned in life, but if you make it something more, then you can still live a happy life. Chuyia was a strong 7 year old girl. she was very opinionated, and she didn't take no for an answer.
When she was widdowed at age 7, chuyia is hurt and confused, being forced to shave her head and live with a group of widdowed women she had never met before. Chuyia embarks on a journey of discovery. She realizes the beauty of friendship, and finds her self more lovely then ever before. She is forced to live a life of hate, and prostitution, when she meets Diddi(the pimp) and Kalyani, the whore.
I believe that this movie had a strong message, that defined the strength of those widows, and the power that comes with following your dreams, and standing up for what you believe in. This story took place in India, in the late 1930's. It was a time of war, on the religious behalf.
We strongly reccomend this movie to those who are interested in history, and who enjoy a good film. We're sure that if you watch this movie, you will be just as satisfied as we were.
We give this movie a four and a half star rating, depending on the interest level of the viewers. So go out and watch this movie for yourself, only you can decide how great it really was.

One of the messages here in this movie I think is to, Never give up hope always try to hold on and never let go you never know what tommorow brings to your life.

Water is a good movie sad,and it makes you think of what could have happen in no one lost home.

When i saw the movie in Shule class, i thought it was good. I think it has a good message for kids and adults. The message that i got was never give up and fight 'til the end. I think this movie will help you in life and give you hope and make you realize to not give up in life.

Water is a great movie! This movie takes place in India in there religion they have arranged marriages. If the husband dies then the widow is sent to live in a house with other widows where they have to cut off all their hair. Chuyia was married at the age of 7, not long after that her husband died so she was sent away. Chuyia is a very curious girl who wants her freedom. This home is a very poor and unhappy place and she doesn't want to be there. Here she meets Kalyani who is a vey beautiful young woman she was the only woman there to have long hair. the leader of this home sends Kalyani to be a prostitute to get money for the home. This is a very unpleasant thing for her because inside she is still a little girl.

Kalyani meets Narayan who is a close follower of Gandhi and falls in love with Kalyani. He knows about her life and he doesn't care he still wants to be with her. This love story is just like a fairytale. A very moving movie, i would receomened this movie to anyone

The movie Water has 5 main characters: Chuyia, Kalyani, Narayan, Didi and Shankuntala. Each one has a different personality of their own. Chuyia is a curious little girl that becomes a widow after her husbands death. Kalyani is a beautiful girl who is friendly and caring. Narayan is a good looking guy who is a follower of Gandhi. Didi is the main lady from the Widows Home. Finally Shankuntala is a very devoted lady who seems to be unhappy.

The movie takes place in India were arranged marriages occur to young girls. Once their husband's die they become widows and get secluded from the rest of the people. Unfortunately that is exactly what happens to Chuyia at a very young age. Now Chuyia has to get use to a totally different life that she is not use to living. All Chuyia wants is to go back home to her family.

Overall i thought that Water is a great movie to watch. Water has an inspiring message. That message is that no matter what your going through do not give up your faith/hope because you never know what's going to happen.
