This is effectively about the horrific beast that lies within us. All of us. Waiting to disclose itself when the opportunity is right.
1947 Earth is a brilliant watch, set in the time of the partition of India and Pakistan. In reality, worse must have taken place during that time than what is depicted in the movie.
The settings are superb, the script is superb and the acting superlative. The most powerful aspect of this movie is the terrifying realisation of the beast that lies dormant within each and everyone of us, just waiting to be unleashed if the circumstances are ripe. That is indeed horrifying.
This is the third in Deepa Mehta's portfolio of Water, Fire, Earth. In a word, this is superb as are all her movies.
