I think that you are jealous!
You should celebrate the fact that this Mira Nair is taking the opportunity to get others to be aware of the Indian culture. I have been following Mira Nair’s work since I was in undergraduate school over a decade ago. I am pleased that she has not disappeared as so many of her female directors have-Too often female directors are rejected by the “big studios” because they are not taken seriously or they are rejected because the screen plays are not “Hollywood” enough.
As a 1st generation immigrant I have experienced all the key elements of the film. Only ignorant individuals will view film as an insight to the Bengali Psyche. I believe to attack the film is proof of your ignorance of the art form. To critique her work and compare it to a book is quite sophomoric. Very few films can EVER capture the total essence of a book. One of the film's messages was to “follow your bliss”. I am proud of Mira Nair for doing just that!
