Summary: One of the most moving films
Review: This is a great movie. A story of vengaince set against the savage backdrop of rural india, where little has changed since the dark ages. Like Islam, rural indians have little respect for women, who are often raped and forced into arranged marriages. This film was controversial and banned in India because it showed sex and rape. But the truth must be told. This woman was raped, not just once but many times over many years by powerful people and savage laymen. Phoolan Devi fought back though. Unlike all those Burkahized women in Afghanistan who happily were raped and beaten by their husbands(islam is a religion of 'peace' remmember), Ms. Devi rounded up a whole village upper castes and murdered them all. This was not a savage act, this was revenge. It was in this village where she had been gang raped by the local leaders and forced into humiliation. These savage rural people got what they deserved and this movie shows this great awful tragic tale. The film is the story of heroism, and of a womans struggle, one that is played out in many backwards third world countries. The film is very realistic and does not cut corners in portraying the rape scenes. Many will be turned away because they 'cant handle watching rape'. Well wake up and watch because to understand revenge you must watch!
