I feel that this film is a tribute to women because in the movie it shows a mother who's child was attacked by her step father, in turn the mother doesn't put up with it and deals with the situation head; that being that her daughter had stabbed the step father/husband and killed him and he is found laying dead on their kitchen floor, even though it was totally illegal she had to do what needed to be done period. Unfortunately children being molested happens everyday by close family members and unfortunately a lot of the times the situation it not talked about or dealt with, in this movie the mother cleans the mess up and moves on with life.
One superstitious belief that came up was with the villagers and the wind, it seems to make people mad, in fact no it was just natural diseases making people "mad". Also another superstitious belief that came up was when the aunt died and everyone in the village starting seeing Raumaida's mother around, when in truth she wasn't dead she had been in hiding for years taking care of the sick aunt.

Miranda,
ReplyDeleteSomething to think about ..........
In deed, the theme of "abused women" is present throughout the entire film. I wonder if maybe the sub-topic of "incest" has been offenssive for any body in the classroom. It is not quite mention in the US so much anymore as it is in the Hispanic World. Mainly, in the rural and poor areas, where children do not have the care and attention they need.
Why do you think Raimunda's mother never did anything to help and help her daughter after she found out the incest had been committed?
