    Gotta wake up at some point

    In 2001 there were still 30 to 40 million women living that way. The director uses the camera lens to present such a real fact with almost no emotion. In India in the 1930s, the widow's commune was a bad custom at the time. It was believed that widows should belong to their deceased husbands and...

    Reminds me of "The Woman in the Enclosure"

    The film's narration is eloquent, and the graphics and music are just right. It reflects the tragic life of widows at that time. No future, no access. Love is only part of the story. The life of a little girl, the heroine who becomes a woman who has lost her footing, and the living conditions of...

    living water, calamity

    Why is the movie called "Water" (often translated as woe/moon river)? Is it raining because every beautiful love scene in the film? Or is it because of the origin of India and the river, the water has been entangled for several generations? Water is always flowing, and water that is not flowing can...

    what comes to mind

    It's a movie worth watching. After watching it, I have some understanding of the living environment of women or widows in India. At the beginning of the film, the point of view is a little widow, only seven or eight years old, because her husband died, she has to live in a widow's home all her...

    Liberate yourself to achieve full liberation

    Women in India have low social status, and there are countless criminals who abuse women without being severely punished. The capital, New Delhi, is notorious for being the "rape capital". In the face of many social ills in India, many directors have used the camera as a weapon to shoot many...

    Is it really just a tragedy?

    I forgot when I first saw this movie, but I clearly remember the shock. Before I started writing again, I had read all kinds of comments, but I couldn't find the feeling I was looking for. This should be a tragedy. However, when I read the whole thing, I felt helpless and hopeless. After that, I...

    Is there sunshine in the distance?

    Perhaps, "Moon River" is flowing with a touch of sadness. Under the moonlight, everything seems so pure, but the real cruelty, who knows? I have always liked Indian movies. There are beautiful protagonists, handsome male protagonists, and natural singing voices. But I only like it because of the...

    No one deserves to suffer

    Human beings live under the same blue sky, and people from different countries, regions, and time and space interpret their estranged lives. In the established traditional life, some people are labeled by the society and live a so-called class life of their own according to the secular rules and...
