blog 9: bollywood

In class we had watch a movie call Bride and Prejudice. I personally thought it was a pretty good move. This movie about a family who lives in India who has 4 daughters and a mother and father. One of the daughters is named Lalita and she is a very independent woman and knows what she wants and does not need someone to care for her. One day she meets a young man from new york named Mr. Darcy. He insulted her and she never wanted to talk to him again and she was very offended from his comment. Then she meets this other man Johnny and Darcy gets pretty jealous and then tries his hardest to apologize and win her back. She falls for it and ends up marrying him too. There is a lot more to the story but it is a long movie. Bollywood films have a lot of singing and dancing and involves a lot of cultural dancing and outfits. Usually they are about 3 hours long. I think that these movies are fun to watch because you start to get a different view point about India and their culture.
