Sick - Buzznet

Sick..

Ugh I have a weekend cold and I can't breathe. I feel awful. My body doesn't want to be warm, so I'm coooold. :( UGH

I'm watching a film to get over it though. I don't want do any work. BLEH

So the film iss called Anjali and it's one of the best movie made in the Tamil film industry from the 90's. I haven't watched it since I was 8 but I remember it being good and crying.

It's basically about a family who deals with their third daughter who is autistic and has a terminal illness. This is one of the first Indian films that actually deals with autism. As soon as she's born the father decides to tell his wife and their two children that Anjali died rather than put them through the heartache of bonding with her and losing her. Two years later they discover that Anjali has actually survived despite doctors saying she'll only live for a couple of months, so the family take her back and it follows with them learning how to live with a mentally challenged child.

I think this is a problem that still prevails in India since people with disabilities especially children are treated like a burden. Children like Anjali are often either given to a care facility and treated like a dirty secret, this film basically challenges that way of thinking.

So if you can find a subtitled version of this film on youtube, you have to watch it! They do break into song and dance randomly though but hey it's an Indian film. :D

Watch any Indian film there will be dancing and siniging somewhere. Actually films won't make any money if there aren't songs in the middle. Thank you, I hope I can breathe by tonight.
