I chose an Indian film titled: “Water”.

What are the values that are admired?

   In this film the author emphasize the importance of moral values such as: honor, purity, kindness and honesty.

How to people interact with one another?

         People treat each other according to their social status. If someone is a rich and a prominent religious person then he or she is going to be treated kindly and respectful. However if the person is a beggar, homeless or a widow (like the protagonist in the film), that person will experience the bitter taste of loneliness and indifference.  Even though there are kind people who really care about others. They aren’t prejudiced for social or religious issues.

How is the culture similar or different from mine?

          Indian culture is greatly distinct from Hispanic culture. The bride doesn’t dress white for the wedding. She wears a dress from different colors to show their happiness. Widows are the ones who wear white dresses. Also Indian girls get married at the few years of life. Unlike us they don’t have the chance of choose to whom they will get married. Somebody of their family choose the husband without the girl’s consent. Another difference is that they don’t bury the person once is dead. Indians cremate the body and throw the ashes in the sea.

   What did you learn about the culture from watching the movie?

      The culture of India is connected with its religion. Traditions must be followed regardless moral and human rights. Widows have three options: Marry their husband’s younger brother, burn with their dead husband or lead a life of self-denial. If they choose the last option they have to cut the hair and stay bald. Also they have to stay in a place with other widows where they live in poverty and precarious sanitary conditions. 

Would you like to visit the country or meet people from the country? Explain your answer

        I would like to visit India and meet people from that country. In that way I would have the opportunity to tell them about the human rights and help them. Also I would like to assist to an Indian wedding and see every detail of that ritual. They have a unique culture so visit their country would be a terrific experience for me.
