Part 1 - Final

Mythology plays a huge role in cultures all over the world. These stories are passed down for generations and are seen in the traditions, art, film, and lifestyles of that culture. I have not had a lot of exposure to Indian films or the Bollywood genre and was very moved by the film, “Water”. I would love to explore the idea of the Krishna mythology that is woven through the film. This common Bollywood theme of two people from different classes falling in love is also a common theme in many of the “Hollywood rom-coms”. By looking more in depth at the tale of Krishna and Rahda, I will compare that with the young couple in Water and the film of "Titanic" which not only includes a love shared between two individuals of different classes, but has a similar water undertone that is presented in the film "Water".
