Reading Notes: Sita Sings the Blues, Part B

 Sita Sings the Blues by Nina Paley - Does she say "that's all" at the end of her singing? 48:00 - Why did I see the breakup coming? That's so sad! 52:00 - Wow, this part is really cool! Probably my favorite part. Especially the scream-singing and trippy visuals. 52:00 - Pregnant Sita is terrifying. 57:00 - Her songs are even creepier now. 58:00 - Lakshmana taking her to the forest was so sad to read and now to watch! 60:00 - Somehow I never caught that Valmiki wrote the Ramayana because Sita told it to him. Interesting. 1:00:01. - The birth scene, ha ha! 1:00:04 - Their debates on the unconditional love of Sita was funny. A female versus a male perspective on love, ha ha. "Hence the unconditional love." 1:00:07 - If she sinks or floats, what the heck. Ha ha. 1:00:11 - The art of this movie was interesting, but it definitely kept me entertained!  Sita Sings the Blues (Source:  Wikimedia Commons ) Bibliography: Sita Sings the Blues by Nina Paley.
