Reply #29: Fire is a great movie! [View All]

I've seen it a couple of times and totally second the recommendation. This movie Girlfriend sounds like typical patriarchal Bollywood garbage.

I'm a bit of a Bollywood buff (I like the period musicals with the fabulous outfits) and I have to say this is totally typical--me and my friends actually have a drinking game for when we watch Bollywood movies. There's always a love triangle, usually a woman falls in love with someone she's not supposed to and then gets forced into a loveless arranged marriage by the family...and even though she's miserable at first she totally loves her husband, even if he keeps her locked up in the house. This happens all the time in the period movies. A *lot* of the movies push some kind of backasswards patriarchal crap.

As for the jackasses that attacked the theater...well, all I have to say is India's freepers make ours look fluffy and nice. These ppl killed Gandhi after all.
