This film surpassed any expectations that I had for it. It could have been really strange or dull. However, that was probably one of the most creative movies I have seen in a long time.
It did make me sad for Sita. She really had a rough life. She was kidnapped by Ravana. Later, when she should have felt safe at home, her purity was doubted. I wonder if she was angry that Rama did not trust her enough to believe that she was pure. Her life had started out so magical with her being able to marry the man she had fallen in love with instantly. Did her downward spiral start with Ravana being too greedy and wanting a woman who was not his for his wife? It would sure seem that way.
I recommend watching Sita Sings the Blues if you have not yet. For one thing, the creator holds no copyrights over it. That is something unique. Second, you would definitely enjoy the way Paley spins the story into a fascinating visual effect that so effectively communicates the Ramayana.
