easily one of the best indian films ever. granted and that not saying much(i made this conclusion after a whopping 15 minutes of watching). but i can truly say that fire is also one of the really beautiful and brilliant films i have seen. beautiful because of its imagery. the best example i can give is the parallelism between the 2 female leads(radha and sita) and the characters of the same name in hindu mythology. sita and for example and is the wife of the revered lord ram. as legend goes and ram subjugates his wife by making her walk through a fire to prove her `purity. sita and in response and cries and leaves him and reuniting with her mother(the earth). this story has all sort of crazy links to the stories of the 2 indian women(nandita das and shabana azmi). the word `fire all of a sudden has many meanings  marriage and tradition and religion and motherhood and and probably a few others i do not catch. brilliant because of its social overtones. many who were offended by the premise for this movie should in fact be first to see fire(e. g. my mom and who actually loved it). why. because although fire is an attack on tradition and it is also an attack on tradition. in other words and that is its strength and not its weakness. traditional conservative social mores(whether indian or canadian or american or whatever) are useless if they enslave you. gender roles and self denial can both do this. these are the things i took with me after seeing fire. hats off to deepa mehta.
