If our conscience conflicts with our beliefs.

This is my first movie review, every time I watch a movie that touches my soul, I live with the shadow of the movie for a long time.
For me, this is the charm of the film. The positive, enlightened or heavy-handedness created in the film will pull the viewer's senses and then send people back to reality at the end of the play.
Humans are captivating, and in order to find the intimacy of this feeling, we will uncontrollably introduce our own real experiences into the plot, those past, present, or future visions. Once a movie has been mapped to you, these sensory, auditory and inner feedbacks will be the most coherent moving experience in the movie viewing process.
The movie "Water" started out for Lisa, a savior in my overly lost phase. It's no exaggeration to say that, I really can't think of any more words to describe her influence on me. If she once described herself as "a pirate on the mainland, almost forgetting the call of the sea" during her illness, then to me now she is a vast and tolerant sea, which has captured my heart beyond the sails question.
However, at the end of the whole film, what really broke through the tear glands was Didi's final awakening and conscience waving.
"Everything is the fault of an illusion" and when she began to desire as a "widow", it was not "all blindness" as Brahma said.
This is a burst of awakening under the backlog of thousands of miles of dark clouds,

and this burst is a cultural revolution, a struggle for rights, and an endless yearning for freedom.

(I prefer the Chinese title translation of "Water" to carry everything, take everything away, and have the power to resist and devour everything in silence, as the whole film conveys.)

    Kalyana said, learn to live like a lotus, come out of the mud and not stain

    The sad thing is not that the Indian society in 1938 surrounded the widows in an abandoned land and left them to fend for themselves like lepers, but today, many widows are still driven out of their homes, poor and sick, like wild dogs. Survive. In the play, the director poured out the essence through the mouth of the male protagonist: it was just for religious reasons to save food and a corner to curl up. It's actually a question of money. Many social bad habits are the same, just to compete for resources.

Water quotes

  • Kalyani: 'Learn to live like the lotus untouched by the filthy water it grows in.' Krishnaji said it in the Geeta

    Narayana: Krishna was a god. Not everyone can live like the lotus flower.

    Kalyani: Yes, they can.

  • Shakuntala: Why are we widows sent here? There must be a reason for it.

    Narayana: One less mouth to feed. Four saris saved, one bed, and a corner is saved in the family home. There is no other reason you are here. Disguised as religion, it's just about money.
