Water, 2005. dir. Deepa Mehta

This is a Canadian/Hindi film that I saw this movie in my senior year of high school, and it is amazing. It is about the caste system in India, and how a widow becomes the lowest caste if her husband dies. This happens to a girl who is less than 10 when her arranged husband dies, and she is forced to become a beggar and prostitute.

I am sharing it in the blog here because the ending of M (where the three women in black say we need to watch our own children) is extremely similar to the ending of this film. I recommend you watch this entire movie, but if not, fast forward to about an hour and 45 minutes into the movie, and watch the scene I am talking about.

Both scenes are really moving, and very well done.
