Well, last night I sat down and watched Earth, the 2nd in the Deepa Mehta elemental trilogy.
Earth is all about the independence of India (and Pakistan) in the 1940's. Centering on the rioting, fighting, and ethnic killing that occurred between Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims while independence was taking its hold.
The movie, like Mehta's others is rich with meaning, beautiful cinematography, and attention to detail. It also doesn't have a happy ending (as the others don't - spoiler!).
I would highly recommend anyone to watch this movie, as long as you can appreciate a good film, even with out the Hollywood ending.
