Arranged: Movie Summary

643 Words3 Pages

I have never seen a film that was like Arranged. The movie discusses two issues, which are friendships and marriages. Everyone wants to be friends with someone that is similar to him or herself. However, the directors of this film emphasize how people from different cultures are able to be lifelong friends, so we should be more accepting of other people. Furthermore, this movie gives another outlook towards arranged marriages. Usually when there is a film about arranged marriages, it is a documentary. Documentaries are usually biased against these types of marriages because they emphasize the people who are married at first sight. Therefore, their relationship lacks freedom, so the audience receives a negative feeling towards the idea. However, the directors of this film wanted to bring awareness that arranged marriages are not bad. In fact, there are different processes for meeting a spouse. For example, Rochel’s family hires a lady who finds men that Rochel might think is a possibility to marry. Whereas Nasira’s family choose men who are family friends. Either way, both women were able to spend …show more content…

However, I did not know that the couple went on a date with each other before they were married. Furthermore, I thought the man or woman was forced onto only one match, so if they did not like the person he or she would still have to spend the rest of their life with a person they do not have a connection with. Finally, I did not know that people who go through arranged marriages have the option of pushing back the wedding to focus on their education or work. Marrying someone can be scary for most people, but it would be terrifying for an eighteen-year-old that just met their spouse. Therefore, it is a good option to have a couple of years to prepare for being married. Lastly, I did not know arranged marriages still occur in the United States, unless it was for a reality T.V.

The late 19th century consisted of rigid work hours for children, the growth of strikes, and the use of yellow journalism. It was a challenging time for anyone below the upper class to live in. This is demonstrated throughout Newsies, a Broadway Musical displaying the challenges from this time period. Child labor, a major part of the movie, was the way of life and consisted of young children doing hard work as a vital part of the nation’s economy and income of families of the time.

Well, that is a false statement. The average age for a man to get married is twenty nine years old and the average age for a woman to get married is at twenty six. At the age of 14 and up most teens have no idea how to take care of themselves. Women that marry under the age of 18 are most likely to go into poverty because they drop out of school and, therefore, lack the knowledge of how to meet the family needs. Did you know about fifteen million girls are married before the age of eighteen each year?

People want to get married because they are ready to take the relationship to a higher level of responsibility and commitment. The satirical argument made throughout the video is that one’s freedom is being compromised and ties, especially with the family are ruined once marriage gets in the picture. The video satirically highlights how individuals will not want to marry because of the huge commitments and responsibilities involved. This is ironic because, when it is decided that the goal of a relationship is marriage, it shows that the couple is ready to commit and love each other unconditionally.

Arranged marriage is a controversial practice in many cultures around the world. However, studies have found that roughly 85 percent of Indians prefer to engage in this tradition, and have a higher rate of marrital success than a marriage based on personal choice. (Dholakia, 4) Yet, even considering these statistics, it remains a concept that is met with dissapproval, thought to be archaic and demeaning to those involved. Chittra Banerjee Divakaruni’s short story Clothes depicts a young woman transition, from being obliged to follow this cultural norm, and the shifts in her mentality throughout this process. It is not unreasonable for the reader to view the protagonist, Sumita, to be a victim of this presumably inhumane practice.
