Bill: "Monsoon Wedding" is a good depiction of a typical Indian wedding. You asked about "culturally accurate". And I do not know what to say. On one hand, public display of sex is something that is still not acceptable in Indian society. It is borne out by the fact that Indian cinema/movies does not allow kissing. It is very rare to find couple on Indian streets walking together with their bodies locked in embrace as we see on US streets. Having said that, there are also the underevents of sex that is existent as you saw in the movie. Sexual events that go on in the background such as child molestation etc. There are predators who take advantage of the "privacy" approach to sex and convert it to "secrecy" and go about molesting children and unmarried women. Now the scene about the bride being in love with the other man and wanting to marry him and not the one that the family wants to marry is quite commonplace nowadays. And then, as the movie shows, sometimes the bride gets disillusioned and you see "the return of the prodigal" Another movie I saw recently on similar theme is "American Chai" Again very true culturally where parents want.... OOps I will shut up and not reveal anything with the fear that I will steal away the fun of watching it. Chinmoy
