Water, from
a Spiritual Perspective.
I realized that throughout this
movie water is represent in so many different interesting ways. The most
profound representation was the spiritual connection. Most people who are
religious view their faith as the foundation for everything. They rely on their
faith through every moment of their life. The good times, the bad times, and
the shameful times. This was represented well throughout this film. When these
women would pray, they did it in the water. When these women were in distress,
they would offer one another water. When rain fell from the sky, they jumped
and played and skipped in it. I realize that water is prominent in many
religions, but in this movie water itself seems to be the religion. It seems to be the only thing the women really believe in and rely on.

Excellent insights about symbols and visual imagery in this movie. Mimi
