Bride and Prejudice
Oct. 27th, 2004 06:17 pmOK, so the movie wasn't so bad. That's not to say that it was a good movie but it was an enjoyable movie and I kinda knew what I was going in for anyway. There are parts (just like Bend It Like Beckham) that I don't think people will understand unless they understand Asian culture but pfft. Whatever. It's a funny film. It's not particuarly clever and if you've read Pride and Prejudice you know what's going to happen. Don't hate on Aishwarya Rai though because her character's a little snobbish but then, I thought that about Elizabeth Bennet too so I guess she was fairly in character.
I now have the urge to do dandhia raas though. And garba. Especially since I missed navratri this year.
I liked the music. Reminded me too much of Bollywood Dreams. Again, a good production but I don't think Bollywood should be formatted to western tastes. It doesn't make sense otherwise. You have to suspend your disbelief for the film to work. I now want to see the Hindi version, lol.
OK...off to do essays now. I have so much work to do yet.
Also, Sports Night S1 finale? Isaac's back!! So now I'm so happy!
