My Reaction To Water
I have done a lot of my own studying into this issue in India and surrounding countries and I was impressed how well this film was done. I think Deepa Mehta did an excellent job on presenting us with their reality and the issues they face over there. She was able to engage the audience well, however I feel like there was no solution or a way presented in which we can help- Or can we? is that just part of their culture that we need to except and let them work out their own issues or how do we help- was the question I left asking myself. I agree that knowledge is power, but what will bring about change for these people? I have no answers myself and I just thought I would point out what issue I thought there was with the film since we didn't discuss it at all after. Overall, I feel like the film is successful and the use of colors, and images was extrodinary throughout the film. The characters were clearly passionate about their roles and I respected that. In America I think actors/actresses tend to take jobs depending on how much money is offered to them and I think this film was truely about an issue that needed to be talked about. So in conclusion I'm glad we screened this in class, I think it was very productive and makes us realize that other countries value different things.
