I always hear words like "don't be afraid", "don't be afraid" and so on, and my heart is shocked. It's nothing, but I know how timid I am. I always like people who are kind-hearted and deeply moved by them. Life is so difficult, but no matter what, even if I am in misery, I have to live in the sunshine. And this sunshine is the goodness of human...

I just saw that when the British ruled India in 1856, the Hindu Widows Remarriage Law was passed, which stipulated that no interference in the remarriage of widows was allowed. The era described in the movie is decades after the remarriage law was passed, and widows still have no human rights, no different from untouchables (from the movie, the priest tells the widow's shadow not to touch him, otherwise it will be impure). And the data at the end of the movie is really shocking. I remember...

The third part of Deepa Mehta's "Elements Trilogy" (Water). Much more mature than the previous two, but also more ornamental. Lisa Ray's beauty is of course needless to mention, the male protagonist is really...

One of the trilogy of "Water" by Indian female director Deepa Mehta that I watched in class a while ago. Especially suitable for women, the soundtrack is very Titanic, and the narrative and camera are very popular in Hollywood. Xu Jinglei did not follow the literary and artistic route well. You can consider this route, but it is not easy to follow this route...

I haven't seen such a quiet movie for a long time, no matter the picture, soundtrack or some loose narrative, my favorite one since March. The Ganges has sunk countless pure souls, who have suffered from cruel traditions and beliefs all their lives, ignorance? or...

The sad thing is not that the Indian society in 1938 surrounded the widows in an abandoned land and left them to fend for themselves like lepers, but today, many widows are still driven out of their homes, poor and sick, like wild dogs. Survive. In the play, the director poured out the essence through the mouth of the male protagonist: it was just for religious reasons to save food and a corner to curl up. It's actually a question of money. Many social bad habits are the same, just to compete...

Gandhi's speech at the railway station fills my heart... Goodness and love are not weak, widows have the right to decide their own destiny, but the end gives a number of existing, shocking, for all kinds of incredible systems in India And customs...to finally have an Indian movie without singing and dancing, give 5...

widows' rights
A very touching work. The content roughly describes that in India, because of the caste system, widows are always classified as "untouchables" after their husbands pass away. Director Deepa Mehta presents the three widows in a widow village in India in 1938 from an objective perspective. The story...

"A widow should be long suffering until death, self-restrained and chaste.
A virtuous wife who remains chaste when her husband has died goes to heaven.
A woman who is unfaithful to her husband is reborn in womb of a jackal.

Kalyani: But what is good should not die out.
