water

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.
