VHS Movie Reviews of Monsoon Wedding
Movie Review: Monsoon Wedding
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a beautifully written and directed love story. Mira Nair created this colorful and magical 5 love stories within one. Give insight to a .com arranged punjabi wedding. I would reccomend it to anyone. I was actually instructed to watch this movie for a cross culture film class and was quite suprised on how much I enjoyed this movie. It is now one of my favorites! Watch it, you won't be disappointed.Movie Review: slow, boring, poor, and nothing like to "Bride & Prejudice"
Summary: 1 Stars
Slow moving, boring, and generally a poor movie.
Deals with some sad aspects of Indian life (though not uncommon world-wide) but does not really address the issues in a useful way.
This was recommended after we purchased Bride & Prejudice, but it was nothing even close to the quality of story - a disappointing buy, we threw it away.
Movie Review: Received bootleg version of DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
Have not watched this DVD because it is obviously a recorded version. Not an original DVD.Movie Review: Ugly Ducklings Become Swans
Summary: 5 Stars
It's good to read Mahatma Ghandi and go to a curry house afterward, because the movie is a very India take on coming of age, with curious weddings, breakoffs, and engagements on the side. Completely Victorious!Movie Review: modern Shakespeare
Summary: 5 Stars
This film has received enough positive reviews without my adding my 2 cents. However, I would like to make the point that this movie is closer to a Shakespearean comedy than any other modern film I've seen (although I don't watch films as often as some). Although the theme of incest is darker and more serious than the gender-bending found in some of Shakespeare's plays, it is of a kind with them, I believe. The bad guy is identified without a bloodthirsty revenge seen. The servants' subplot has about the same relation to the whole you would expect in Shakespeare. The humor is spontaneous and doesn't warp the characters, and at the end of the film, you feel you've watched something original that is affirmative, yet not manipulative. Highly recommended. I suppose the actual dialog won't appeal as much as the Bard's to those with a critical mindset, but for the rest of us who have just enjoyed ourselves, this film is a great experience.
Summary of Monsoon Wedding
Monsoon Wedding is a return to form for Mira Nair, director of 1988's Salaam Bombay! Nair's gift for observation of the everyday and her love for her characters make for a delightful film, which spins a web of family relationships that knit and break during a wedding at a perfect pace. The excellent performances exceed the often stereotypical roles on offer (including the incomparable Nasiruddin Shah as the harassed father, Kulbhushan Kharbanda as the comic uncle, and Shefali Chaya as the orphaned cousin). Nair's sympathetic eye for the unnoticed and the harassed is at its best with the tender romance between the servant and Dube (Vijay Raaz), the marigold-munching, upwardly mobile wedding coordinator, who brings pathos and humor to the often unseen servant classes. The handheld camera gives a docudrama feel to this celebratory look at the upper-middle-class Hindu Punjabi joint family, while paying tribute to modern Indian public culture of music, television, and, of course, "Bollywood." --Rachel DwyerComedy Video
