Reading: Ramayana Part 2 (video)


  • The story was sometimes hard to follow with the multiple narrators 
  • I like that during this movie we were able to see how Rama and Sita interacted, when Rama banished Sita, he was calm 
    • This was interesting because this is not how I pictured it after reading the original story 
  • I like the idea of Sita leaving to go into banishment and then Rama realizing he was wrong and running after her
    • I feel like with modern times there would be some redeemable moment, like a moment where the main character realizes it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks 
  • The movie, in my opinion did a great job of showing the mistreatment of Sita. There are several scenes where Rama is literally walking over Sita
  • I would like to focus on Rama's two sons in a story 
    • It might be fun to redo the story and have the two boys seek him out 
  • "Duty first, Sita last" this was part of the story the boys sang, which seems wrong to me because Sita gave up everything to go with Rama into exile 
  • Sita has to prove her purity AGAIN 
    • I really like that the narrators make fun of this constant doubt of Sita
