I watched a movie called Lapata Ladies yesterday.. While I absolutely loved the movie, I strongly recommend some people don't watch it...
You'd be in for great disappointment if you
- Feel that Fraud is when you are robbed off of only your belongings by means of cheating. (no weightage given to your ideas, opinions, intellect or ambitions)
- Look at girls/ women to be ideal (the nice girl type set by the society)
- Feel that not everyone has a right to dream. (However talented or passionate they are)
- Believe marrying a girl (sister/daughter) is parents' sole duty towards her, and gets over once she is wedded.
- Are a man and think you can treat a lady whatever way you please, negating what she says, feels or thinks of you.
- Assess the value of a woman by the amount of dowry she has got, without that, what value has she even got?
- Support/never oppose veils that not only hides a woman's face but her identity too.
- Are of the opinion that a girl can not do anything on her own, she always needs support from men.
- Are convinced that women married in the same house can be anything but friends.
- Live with the idea that every women needs to be a superwoman, doing great things, managing it all. (Their likes and dislikes going unnoticed, as if they never existed which she actually forgets while getting used to putting other's needs and likes before hers)
- Think a movie without big actors, with a simple but profound subject striking the right cords would not be worth watching in a theatre.
If you checked any of the above points, beware, this one's not for you, period!
P.S : Breaking stereotypes is one thing and attacking them with just the correct proof, shaking the very existence of a setup that has always been accepted as normal is what this movie does.
I'm just trying to protect the great ideology you have nurtured throughout your life which will be threatened if you watch this one.
Cheers!!
