Set against Gandhi's rise to power, Water tells the profoundly moving story of Chuyia, an Indian girl married and widowed at eight years old, who is sent away to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence. Chuyia's feisty presence deeply affects the other residents, forcing each to confront their faith and society's prejudices. ## Product Details - **Brand:** 20th Century Fox - **Unit Count:** 1 Count - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Item Weight:** 0.15 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches ## Images ![Twentieth Century Fox Home Ent Water - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+BF5NiGzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remarkably film and a true story *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2014* It is a journey into the paganism and abuses that are India. It is a true story.One of the first things that got my attention was that the same harsh traditions exist in India no matter which century, this timeline being 1938. They are still practicing the old cruel, pagan customs regarding their women dating back 2000 years taken from the ancient Manu Hindi Script. It is a tale of sadness, loss and pagan practices that need to be abolished. The fact is that women who are widowed at any age end up in Ashrams (filthy prisons) and is truly horrible. It was Ghandi's intentions to give the Untouchables another chance to live life as most of them were widowed as early as age seven after being betrothed or sold by their parents to older men who died suddenly and it is blamed on his wife causing her to be known as a "husband eater". This is a travesty!These widowed women could have been able to live productive lives but instead are used for sexual vice by male family members and other men in the area. What hypocrisy! They are wasted and tossed out like so much trash proving that India is steeped in gross, moral corruption and pantheism. India is one of the leading countries that refuses to come into the twenty-first century and abolish long-held moral and religious crimes perpetrated against its people especially women and girls.This film deals with the "secret selling" of most of the young girls into prostitution to “keep things going”. It is a gross and wicked sin and the worst form of human abuse practiced against women and young girls. From the money these poor young women bring in from this evil is handed over to those who run the Ashrams (fat house mothers) making them able to live secret, lavish lives eating gluttonously while all the other women literally starve. They are like walking ghosts in coarse, white linen saris with shaved heads with only death as an escape.A courageous film maker, Deepa Mehta, wants to inform the world of this inhumane practice in India using her amazing filming talent. In it she uses color and imagery to tell not only of this profound wrong but she also weaves a tender love story like a golden thread and she does it in such a way that is moving and beautiful at the same time. At no time do we lose touch with the actors or the story while the brilliant use of color and shadowy images become her form d'art.The Ganges is the main element since it is worshipped in India as a [g]od. I think what came to my mind most of all was the harshness of Hinduism. They believe in Karma which doesn’t allow for compassion or mercy. People die by the millions with no one to care or assist them especially children. I feel deep sorrow for all those who do not know that God the Creator made them and for a much higher purpose than sexual slavery. One woman stated, “maybe Kalyani will come back as a man”. This is blatantly reincarnation, one of the main tenants of Hinduism. The Holy Bible states, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27. These are true words regarding death. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "God Willing She Will Come Back As A Man" ~ Are You Any Closer To Liberation Yet? *by B***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2011* `Water' (2006) is the third and final film in Deepa Metha's' trilogy joining `Fire' (1997) and `Earth' (1999). While a slower moving film than the first two it is also the most poetic in atmosphere and much more traditionally Hindu in presentation. Like the two films preceding it `Water' deals with one of those ignored and generally unspoken problems underlying Indian culture. In this case it's the unethical, inhuman treatment of widows.Synopsis: The film begins with the death of the husband of eight year old child bride Chuyia (Sarala), leaving the little girl a widow at an age when she should still be playing with dolls. She is taken to a rundown ashram housing an impoverished group of widows doomed to live out the rest of her life as outcasts. Chuyia forms an immediate bond with Kalyani (Lisa Ray) whose physical beauty has become the sole means of support for the community through the vehicle of prostitution.Through a chance encounter Kalyani captures the attention of Narayan (John Abraham), a wealthy, idealistic follower of Gandhi. Soon a proposal of marriage follows and now for the first time Kalyani envisions the possibility of a new, happy life. However traditional beliefs and social pressures work against the young couple at every turn. As Kalyani battles with the superstitions and taboos that seek to deny her one last chance for love those same social evils begin to close in on young Chuyia threatening to enslave her into the same lifestyle Kalyani has endured. will Narayan have the strength of conviction to save them both or are they destined to remain amongst the forgotten and ignored? What would Gandhi do?Critique: `Water' is a beautifully filmed and heartbreakingly elegant conclusion to Deepa Metha's trilogy. Everything was done to perfection in this film; cinematography, soundtrack, storytelling and wonderful acting with a number of truly memorable performances. Deepa Metha has once again shown how to meld filmmaking with important, contemporary issues without devaluing the cinematic art or the social message. Bravo! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Right in the feels *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2022* I watched this years ago, when I found it on Amazon, I had to get it and see it again.
