Monsoon Wedding (2001) was directed by Mira Nair, and India-born, New York based film director. I have watched an interview with this director, and she stated that her goal of the movie was to let the viewer understand the dynamics of an Indian family amongst the chaos of an elaborate Indian wedding. There are several subplots, which keep the plot interesting and humorous. This movie, like most Indian films, has alot of ethnic music throughout. I liked it so much, in fact, that I bought the soundtrack and I rock out to it in my car every now and then. I'll bring the CD, in case anyone wants to copy it so they can nerd out and listen to it in their car too. Enjoy!

Hey Brittany
I'm really sorry but I won't be able to come tomorrow night. I genuinely want to come but I have a conflict of interest that night - I have a chance to see a good friend of mine who I have not seen in quite a while because he has been very busy.
I am putting Monsoon Wedding on my Netflix cue so that I can see it soon (hopefully this week) and let the group know what I thought about it.
apparently (supposedly) Monsoon Wedding was partly inspired by Thomas Vinterberg's film Festen (The Celebration), which we watched for movie night back in June of '06... it also happens to be one of my favorite movies ever made
i can definitely see a connection with the child sexual abuse bombshell getting dropped in the middle of the party
anyway, i read that and i thought it was interesting
