Beautiful & inspiring
Wow, this movie is so beautifully put together - its breathtaking! It's easy to get completely wrapped up in the storyline although still hard to watch how this woman's family put her down for her inability to speak English (I found a lot of little life lessons that can be taken away from this story - ie: To be understanding of those that seem "different" than whats perceived as normal, to think about what we're saying to those that we love, to respect people from all walks of life). Despite all the poking fun of, the lack of time that her husband has for her & the disrespect her daughter shows ... this woman is a woman in every sense of the word - She's vibrant, smart, caring, loving, compassionate & gentle. She has a childlike innocence to her, coupled with passion & inner strength to find & love herself. There are a lot of comedic scenes that will have you laughing & It's clean so, your whole family will be able to enjoy together (it will be hard for anyone who cannot read the...
Great Movie, Great DVD product, Excellent seller
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It moves me. Even though I need the subtitles, I identify the main characters with family members. I am touched, often to the verge of tears. That doesn't happen much with me, so you know it is a great movie. Seller was good. Only drawback is the total shipping time from the UK. I would definitely recommend this movie to others and would recommend the supplier sdu123 as well.
Thanks for providing this.
Sridevi vs. the English language
I guess, one day, Sridevi Kapoor - but just "Sridevi" will do, thank you - surveyed her demesne and decided to heck with her fifteen year hiatus from cinema. I think I'm on firm footing when I say that I'd put Sridevi's scintillating performance in English Vinglish against whichever other best you can come up with for 2012.
It's a crap title, but that's the only negative thing I can think of about the movie. In an ocean of redundancy, English Vinglish surges against the tides. Does it add flavoring to learn that writer/director Gauri Shinde made the film in part as an apology to her mother, on whom she based the central character? Like the character's daughter, Gauri as a child was embarrassed of her mom's poor grasp of English. And here we were some years back, hailing Esperanto as the universal language.
In India, Shashi Godbole (Sridevi) is a dedicated housewife and devoted mother, never mind that she's marginalized by her husband (a smug Adil Hussain) and...
