The start of the movie made a change in mood and was also unexpected. It started from the voice over of Charlie.. he exclaims everything he loves about his wife Nicole and then Nicole says good things about Charlie.. the mood changes when we see that both of them were sitting with a mediator and they are going to get separated. It is easier for the audience to see that they had/has a beautiful relationship so there is a build up for audience which strengthens the story. Nora is the only person who understands Nicole .. Nora's character is beautifully written she is both practical and emotional, sharp and smart. When she meets Nicole for the first time she makes friends with her .. makes her comfortable. She is not a greedy lawyer. She conveys her past to Nicole so Nicole doesn't feel alone in her journey. The way she lifts Nicole's morale.. is commendable.. she gives her examples of Merry( jesus's mother) and how the society sees a mother. She very easily delivers, what Nicole actually wants .. The story shows us both the sides, neither it makes anyone guilty nor it victimizes anyone. Both Charlie's and Nicole's thinking process and their sufferings are shown. Charlie's involvement with Nicole's family is shown very systematically.. when he arrives at her place he makes himself so comfortable, as it is his own house .. he knows the place of every single thing in the kitchen which actually shows his affection. Also there is a scene where Charlie gazes the photographs which again shows his connection and concern about Nicole and Henry. Nicole on the other hand is honest and fair .. she never wants Charlie to suffer due to the separation. Also when both of them get into the heated argument, she consoles him. This is the major thing for strenghtening the story .. to deliver the inner outer conflict of both the main characters. Some of the symbolic features of the movie were commendable, Nicole's walking from drawing room to her room and sobbing, the closing of the door by Nicole and Charlie, Nicole holding Henry and then Charlie asks for him, Henry holding the arm of his parents etc The ending was emotional. The scene included Charlie, Henry sitting on the bed and Nicole standing at the door .. both Charlie and Nicole had tears in their eyes..it was a love story delivered to us. The movie teaches us that separation can be positive.. the movie from the beginning gives the hints (When Charlie read Stuart's story to Henry ).. that the waiting is difficult but it is worth because you will have a bright sky later. . Both of them were happy and Nicole was working as a director which she desired. It also teaches us that It teaches us that,.. before a mother or father or male or female or actor or director a person is a human with desires ..

The movie has shades which is the best part .. it deals with different colors of people or group .. for example the activists are not shown as saints they do tell lie, they say that they come in peace while holding guns. The scientist Dr. Jonney is a complete hypocrite.. he has an image of loving animals and he himself exploit them, he was cruel with okja, when he let the male pig forcefully meet with okja.. also when he met okja for the first time, okja felt discomfort, she sensed from his touch and vibes that there's something wrong with Jonney. The corporate was working only for their fame, reputation and money .. they wanted to have a good image by practicing immoral deeds. Even if humans made the animal.. they had no right to exploit or mistreat it. On asking about the special techniques through which Mija and her grandpa raised healthy gaint pig, Okja, Mija's grandpa said only one thing that, they let it free .. The movie was a contrast of selflessness and selfishness. Okja protects Mija in the beginning of the movie, and then the strength shown by Mija to bring Okja back is due to her selfless love for the animal. The movie deals with so many emotions, it shows us the mirror about our deeds. How we are a slave of cheap products and how these companies are ruling over us. Everything seems right to the company because the consumer likes it and consumer will definitely like it and buy it if the product will not be expensive. The movie has many breathtaking scenes in contrast to love and selfishness such as, when Mija is bitten by the gaint pig and even then she stops the activist to hit him and decides to console and love the pig., The sweeping of the blood in the factory and giving electric shocks to the animals., The climax scene where both Mija and Okja walks and we hear gunshots sound in the background score .. and the parent pigs to save their baby pig stretches the electric wire .. The ending was realistic, the camera pans and we see thousands of pigs in the factory who are crying and sobbing as they are near to their death. The ending also provides hope when the activists comes out of the jail and they talk about doing something bigger this time .. something record breaking.

Section 375 Movie review The movie starts with a scene held in present and then goes back to 3 months, it revolves around a famous director, Rohan and a junior costume assistant, Anjali who accuses Rohan in a rape case. It’s a low budget film with great art work, story, set design, editing and acting. Two sides of the case is shown and the conclusion is left for the audience to decide and think about what they just experienced. Defense lawyer, Akshay Khanna in his opening scene clearly describes the whole idea of what the film has to deliver, in his speech which he gives to aspiring lawyers. The story very well holds the main and basic idea till the end. It is great to see that a feature film has been made on a very basic but significant idea, “Justice is ideal still abstract but the law is factual, and upheld”. At the end of the film we are served with so many unanswered questions in our plate, who was right? Was the punishment justified ? It costed Rohan’s family, did he just hammer his own foot? Did this step just made fun of the judiciary? Etc. etc. Audience were left with the idea of the relation between justice and law and how the law which is meant to be seen as a road to justice but actually it mislead the very road of justice. The film also deals with other ideas here and there, the media trail done on Rohan in the film is completely inspired from real life, which makes things worse or how rape victims are treated by police and in medical examination in our country is shameful. No one is either right or wrong, everyone is at fault, it’s just how one uses the other person for one’s own benefit. All in all this is a revenge story of Anjali, who traps Rohan in a false rape accusation, fortunately due to the law she gets her revenge. In the story, we can sympathies and hate both the characters at the same time. Rohan cheats his wife, pretends to be a loving partner to Anjali, shows her so many dreams, and broke them all in a single moment. Both the characters reaches a justified phase in their lives which doesn’t seemed to be forcefully imposed on them by the writer. Where we can sympathize for Anjali for what all she has experienced, we also hate her for what all she did, and still cannot say whether she was right or wrong in doing so, as she has been a victim, though not a rape victim but still a victim. Even other characters journey in the film has been left untold, we do not understand what happens with them after this incident, we can hope for the second part as the defense lawyer also states that he would take this case to supreme court.
