Watched and largely enjoyed: Dangal, 2 hours, based on a true story. A father forces his unwilling daughters to become wrestlers to fulfil his own dreams of winning gold for India. When their 14 year old friend says their lives are better (because sexism) they ‘go for gold’.
Pratik I’ve noticed you watch a lot of Indian movies. Curious how that came to be.
Miraz Jordan @pratik 😀 The latest was a "more like this”. I think something originally popped up on Netflix. I seek movies that are about women, by women, have strong female leading characters. I also seek out movies that go beyond American or British, so I can peek into lives that are very different from my own. Plus, I seem to enjoy Indian movies. I love listening to the dialogue and trying to pick out words — there are so many English words that pop up.
Pratik Very interesting 🙂 And I can see the “like this” trend especially since you saw Dangal and had seen Mary Kom earlier. Check out ‘Chak De’. It’s about a women’s (field) hockey team and ‘Queen’. Very entertaining.
