The Gold Bracelet

Oh my God. My friend's family was threatened and her brother got bullied and pushed around at school cause of the way he looks. It's so mean what happens. It was all over the news here in NYC when an old man got beat up with bats on his way home in Queens. I don't what the heck is wrong with all these people. They need to see this. My friend (hi Priti!) told me about it cause here cousins were extras in the movie,but you cant see them. I saw it in Connecticut at the film festival. I don't think anyone was not crying or laughing. I mean, I know most people think people from India are funny to listen to and funny to look at. That's not true if you see this movie. Cause there's hot guy singing and dancing and he's in love with this girl at school and the actors like the father and mother are funny, but it's not fake. It seems real to me cause I have friends who are Indian and I go to their house and see what it's like. When terrorists hit NY I was so scared and this is a movie that helps to keep positive and everything in perspective. I'd see it again if it was in the theater.

Like some of the others who made comments about the movie, I also saw it with my Dad and this was the first time I saw him crying (I hope he doesn't read this). There are a bunch of funny moments in the film, too. It tells the story of a family that lives in America who are from India. It takes place just before and right after September 11, 2001. I can't believe I did not hear about all the horrible things that happened after. I guess it because there was so many other things gong on. But this was so moving and the music was definitely hot. It was Indian music and some one song had a hip-hop remix. The guy who sang the song is so cute! My dad was blown away by it. I'm pretty close to my dad, but this is the kind of film that brings you together even more. Thank you to the director and the cast for such a cool movie. I didn't get to talk to the director, but my dad met him and got his autograph and I got one with the cute guy. I think more people should know about what happened to this family so they can understand how important it is not to judge people on their looks and try to see how they can work together in life.

This is such a good movie. I can't believe people don't know about it yet and that it's not in theaters. Why? Anyway, I saw this over the weekend and Gurinder Chadha, director of movies like 'Bend It Like Beckham' and 'Bride & Prejudice' presented some award to the director of 'Bracelet'. I met the director briefly and one of the film's actors - Sonny Mandal (so gorgeous). What I loved so much about the movie was that it was so simple. I mean it was easy to watch and relate to characters who I normally never paid attention to in real life. I just never realized that there are so many people and places that I have just not paid any attention to. I think movies like this will change that for most people. The best - really. It will be one of the best films you ever see. The acting is amazing. I've never seen Kavi Raz or Sonny Mandal before, except on a TV maybe, but they are so good to watch. The one who plays the neighbor and the mom are are real good, too. I mean the whole cast is great.

My girlfriend wanted to see this, but i didn't. She was right cause recognized a Playboy Playmate in the film. Anyway, the film was actually really good. It's movie you take a date to, but it's not really your typical date movie. I mean, it's pretty moving and also disturbing sometimes, but there's great looking cast (my girlfriend loved the college boy who was the boyfriend to the the lead actress) I loved all the women. There are so many people always talking about the terrorist attacks and the only real good films were the biggest ones. But this movie, is unique in that it focuses on what happened to one family and I think they represent a lot of us. I'm not Indian, but what happens to this family in the story can really happen and does happen to a lot of people even before 9/11. I saw CRASH. I know people say this is what CRASH should have done, but these are two different movies. Both approach the same subject. This is a true indie project with real life grit, but it looks like they spent at least a few million to make it. CRASH had big time stars in it. I don't know what's considered indie and what's played off to be one, but this movie is one for sure and I think they did a fantastic job. I'd like to know how people can be so ignorant about comparing Indians from Asia to terrorists from the middle-east. Everything about them is different - even the reasons why Indians wear turbans (and not all or most do) and why those in the middle-east wear them.

What a movie. It's so moving. I didn't know what things were like for so many people since 9/11 (and even before). By the way, the guy who played Bobby Dillon is gorgeous. Yummy. And he can dance. He's got the coolest walk. Purrrrrrrr... Anyway, this is all about living in America and having to deal with racism and ignorance. It won an award when I saw it. i think people will want to see this once they hear about it. I thought it was going to be about a certain ethnic group, but it's really not about that at all. It's got this patriotism, musicality, and truth about it that's kinda weird cause when you watch it, you feel like you know everyone and that you were with all these people. It get tragic, but it so beautifully done. The acting was outstanding by the guys who play Arjin and Bobby and the one who played the mom. Overall, the whole cast was really good.
