Fire by Deepa Mehta: the Visual Layer

Shita is soaked in the orange window of her green Sally and is likely to embrace her lover Rada (Figure 1). These women are opposed to family ethics and affectionate ethnic traditions. Fire is Indian film by Mehta Deepa, a film about Indian lesbian theme, and a male-led position for women. In aesthetics, fire has a second layer of meaning conveyed through the use of symbolic images, light and color. In this article we analyze the selection of iconic signs, lighting techniques, and colors to complement the theme of the movie.

When the fire of Deepa Mehta was released 20 years ago it suffered a storm of controversy and protest as it portrays a sexual depiction of a shameless woman. Shita and Rada are the wives of two brothers in a joint family and are destined to be ignored by husband, deception, and singles. (Rada is also the name of the goddess of Hinduism, Mehta certainly knows what she is doing.) However, Sita believes that she should experience, touch and touch love and desire I will. One night, when Rada comforted her, Shita kissed. Their physical intimacy thrives from there

In Deepa Mehta's movie "Fire", symbolism is used to indicate the fight between tradition and new thought. The fight of Rada when choosing lesbians is in harmony with the scene that she reproduces as a child. This movie is a story of two important and beautiful women who broke their cultural barriers and reborn through their passion. Relations between them are forbidden, but by giving emotions to them, they despise their husbands and find the power to abandon tradition.

Deepa Mehta 's 1996 film "Fire" depicts her as a lonely woman, Radha, who fell in love with her nephew. Lesbian film screening (perhaps the first work of Indian movie) received the Best Actress Award at the 32nd Chicago Film Festival and received Best Actress Award in Los Angeles.
