The movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, produced by Robert Mulligan, based on the book by Harper Lee, is an incredible film. The story follows the lives of Jean Louise and Jeremy Atticus Finch as they mature through valuable lessons. Though I really enjoyed the movie, it failed to include some of the vital details that contributed to making the book outstanding. For example, the movie was more told from Jem’s point of view while the book was told strictly from Scout. The movie also left out the lessons learned from the children reading to Mrs. Dubose and Miss Maudie’s house burning down.

Beginners is Mike Mills’ second feature-length film, I would say it is a movie about the importance of the choices we makes to fill life with joy, rather than sadness. The movie focuses on three different stories all interwoven with each other. The person who helps tell each story and our protagonist is Oliver Fields, a 38-year old artist. We are shown his life now, he is alone and working as unfulfilling graphic artist. He lost his mother to cancer; immediately after that, his father tells him he is gay. Oliver struggles with the fact that his childhood was a fraud of sorts by the fact that his father hide who he was so long. Oliver watches and see as his father falls in love with a younger man; and then he watches his father, too, die of cancer. Three months after the death of his father, Oliver meets and slowly falls for a visiting French actress named Anna, forcing Oliver to decide if he’ll once again fall into his parents’ pattern of emotional distance or follow his dad’s new, fun-loving, in-the-moment example. We slowly learn that like Oliver, Anna is struggling with family issues as well. This connects them but also at times makes it hard for them to open up to each other. We follow their story through out the script. The second storyline is that of Oliver’s father Hal, who after spending years married but as a closeted gay man, he comes out at the age of 75, only to be diagnosed with cancer shortly after. Hal’s journey is about learning about his new lifestyle and

In my opinion, Deepa Mehta is a courageous and bold director to produce a movie ‘Water’ which is intended to affront the tradition and living style of Indians back then. She displays how every character brings up almost perfectly similar kind of stance which is because of the doctrine and beliefs that have been set in their minds for a long period of time. The practice inherited from one generation to another generation which later becomes the tradition of Indian community. I could see how every widow refuses and rebuffs changes; which they are forbidden to marry again as a result of believing in they themselves bring unluckiness or bad luck to others.
