This is the very end, including flashes amid the credits of the movie, "Mississippi Masala," one of the most beautiful endings, in my opinion, of any movie - if you're using sweetness and joy as a measure.
I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone, as this ending will mean so much more if you've seen the whole thing, but it's beautiful on its own... so you will have to decide for yourself. I can't be everywhere advising everyone, and you'd only get annoyed at me anyway! ;)
It's the level and quality of WELCOME that gets me crying every time.And the music is perfect for that openness.If you decide to skip this post until you've seen the movie... maybe you WILL see it someday. (If you do decide to watch, click the 'HQ' button first for High Quality viewing)
Another gem from Mira Nair.Patterns continue to emerge, I notice.
I loved this movie ("Orlando") so much, that I 'made' everyone I could get hold of watch it - especially when it was still in theaters, though I continued on with VHS and DVD to be pleasantly pleading. I'm not proud of it, but I don't get teased as much by loved ones for "Orlando" as I regularly get teased for suggesting "The Black Robe" way back in the day. Interestingly, the same actor is in both films. I hope I've learned my lesson.It's odd, as I'm not usually in the recommending business, but I seem to be doing it a lot on here. I guess blogging brings out the brute in me.I do love this version of "Pavanne" the best as the drums really add something of the times to it (in the movie, I mean). I wish I could've embedded the actual dance scene from the film, but this clip only has a slide show effect. It's actually not as bad as some, and better than most... especially if you relax and loosen your eyeballs a bit. Wait! not THAT much. They should continue to be inserted. ;)
