Element: WATER

Went to watch the oscar nominated movie 'WATER' and was quite disappointed. The movie is very well made, no doubt, but i didnt like the subject. Why would an Indian woamn want to show the dark side of India (that too 70 years later)? Why would she want to show her talent by making a film on the life of Indian widows' sheer torture?
Her work has class and being an international film-maker, she should have used her awesome talent to show the beautiful side of India and what prevails today! Maybe the widow torture still happens in a few villages... but by showing it to the world we are only telling them that this is what India was, this is what India is and this is what India will be... its like... letting ourselves down.
No wonder the cinema hall had about 20 people willing to watch this 'no storyline-highly technical' movie... as for me... i was in tears in the 2nd half... yaaaa i cry a lot while watching movies... :p
