Advantages: an imaginatve story Disadvantages: very poorly portrayed
My attention was drawn to this movie as it was shown as a trailer during my time at the cinema watching another movie and I thought this was a movie I would enjoy. However after hearing many people saying they had been to watch this at the cinema and hated it I decided to give it a miss. The other day as I finished my shopping in asda I saw this DVD for £5.99 and thought oh lets give it a go. After watching it last night though I wished I had stuck to the giving it a miss idea.

Advantages: thought provoking, beautiful cinematography, good characterisation Disadvantages: you will most definetly need a box of tissues at hand - total tear jerker

This has got to be one of my all time favourite movies by Deepa Mehta - a very contraversial director from india who brought us films such as fire - about same sex love in a normal poor middle class family in india and the consequences of falling in love with the wrong person, as well a heavy critique of indian society. Indeed the film has been banned from india and there much effort to do the same to Water.. it seems the indian government are obsessed with hiding their not so pretty past too!
Water is part of her "elements" series which started with Earth:1947 a love story, Fire and now Water. The better known bollywood stars include Johnny Abraham (such a hottie, i ...
