I find this film very informative about the Hindu culture. This movie relaxes me well when I watch it. The lead actress is talented and insightful about her roll in the movie.
In the tradition of morality tales and fables, this movie is a great story about doing the right thing. The movie is a mixture of Bollywood and Hollywood; it is the story of a woman from India who has located herself in San Francisco. She uses spices to assist people to realize their hopes, dreams, and desires. In this movie, the spices themselves are another character in this movie. When Dylan McDermott's character gets hurt, the mistress of spices must choose beyond what she has always known. The love story is cute, but secondary to the lessons imparted by the spices. This is a great movie for women from traditional backgrounds to have illustrated for them the sorrows AND joys of moving beyond traditions; not forsaking traditions but enlarging the paradigm in which traditions exist. Both old and new ideas have value, and as human beings women must learn how to mix the old and the new in a balanced way that allows growth without sacrificing the foundations of one's life. I think this is a positive fable that empowers women without belittling men. I loved this movie.
El DVD vino en perfectas condiciones. La película está bien, yo me había leído antes el libro y no me decepcionó. Era lo que me esperaba: mucho más sintética que el libro, pero bien contada y adaptada para una película. Aún así me quedo con la historia de la novela, salvo el final, que me gustó más el que se ha creado para la película.
