      A wedding, a self-salvation of women and families

      To be honest, it was a movie that surprised me very much. Because I don’t like the little emotion of being forced to watch songs and dances at every turn, I really seldom watch Indian movies.

      With "wedding" as the narrative, the fusion and collision of Eastern and Western cultures, the authority and loss of patriarchy, the impact and concession of traditional concepts are the spiritual core to interpret the story of family, family, and love.

      Unsettled desire in the monsoon

      The wedding banquet in the monsoon, mixed with all kinds of hidden desires, was held as scheduled in the pouring rain.
      The bride and groom wore garlands, received the blessings of the crowd, and sang and danced. Not so long ago, the bride was mired in an incestuous affair with a married man. She told the groom all honestly. Looking at her back as she turned away, the groom chased after her and said that he was willing to accept the past and manage the future life with her.
      In fact,...

      7.11@Film Commune Creek Screening, 2001 Venice Golden Lion, 4-. The charm lies in the integration of singing and dancing into the scenes of life, and the narrative lines of several pairs of lovers are interspersed with simplicity and convincing. Ethnic, cultural, intergenerational and even class conflicts are blurred, and the occasional New Delhi street scene is more like a reminder of the shooting location. Yes, from the perspective of middle-class returnees, it is also a kind of...

    Although "Monsoon Wedding" is not much creative in content and form, it has a certain appeal. "Monsoon Wedding" is a love song. The film is not only without the suspicion of preaching, but also full of the taste of life. The passion and emotion that the director captures in the film is contagious, and she gives the film a rare vitality. The film's sloppy and even slightly chaotic structure just reflects the complexity of the family...
