Review of Monsoon Wedding (2001) by Karylis H — 22 Sep 2013
This movie is charming and quite a tale. The different conflicts both internal and external really give it the spice to the story. It had a few different elements such as love, suspense and comedy. I thought the lower class love story was more romantic than the higher class love story.
Although I picked up on why the older cousin did not like the uncle, the revelation of the truth still captured my attention. This wedding did not depict a complete Hindu wedding, but it was close. The idea of an arranged marriage is still a very strong value today.
The duration of the celebration seems the correlate as well. There was not as much fire aspect as the traditional wedding should have, but what movie doesn't change things to make it more attractive.
Family is also an important aspect in a wedding. The wedding joins the two families and celebration of 3 to 5 days help them know each other better. Overall, I enjoyed this movie very much.
