Halle Berry's Saree look in 'Cloud Atlas' Yay or Nay?

yay

Hey a few words to the self-loathers, Halle may look hideous in your in your native costume, but have you
give a though that people might be saying you look the same way in a sari.

Don't be ignorant, be proud others embrace your culture and help heal the world of all this "HATE" and make it
a better place for all to live.

By the way do read David Mitchell book Cloud Atlas (2004) to find out what the gist of the movie by the
same name is all about.

What's "the last word?" *puzzled face*

@Falling Star: thanks, I guess. :-) In summary, I did a 'yay or nay' fashion post on Halle Berry using this new pic released from her upcoming movie 'Cloud Atlas' in which she is essaying a diverse array of characters including (as seen here) a saree clad person. Most people responded that she looked hideous and that sarees only look good on Indians and some even took it a step further by saying she looks transgendered and why is this brown colored woman dressed like an Indian when we have plenty of real ones to spare? I then responded to the latter comment as being a racist statement and WWIII started. Scene. :-)

hideous is the word to describe this!! wotevva happnd to the femme fatale halle berry? she looks like a drag queen here!! eww!

nay

she looks okay. Her hair and heena are not matching. Saree is not great either.

Oy anon: you know me so well, I can't resist. Que sera, sera! ;)

To Voiceswriter - if you are so OVER it - I DARE you to not post a single more comment on this thread. Come on...Can you do it!? The URGE to have the last word is just too strong, ain't it? Of course expecting you to do the decent thing and admit that on hindsight you do agree that the racist remark was uncalled for and you were overreacting - no, no that would be too low brow for you, non?

@ Voiceswriter
Oh no, I am but an inferior being to you, as already stated, I'm no match for your sophomoric intellect motivated by narcissism. my quoting of Twi Zone is most applicable to you at the moment but I'd like to know the other interesting ppl to whom it applies ;)- but then again it would be straying from the topic. and if u'd like to take it as a compliment then please do so. Anyway, don't let me interrupt ur brilliant discussion of Cloud Atlas (the book) since most of the 'illiterate' ppl here have obviously not read it, would love to hear ur philosophical take on it and tell us what we opinion we should have of it too. Also, while ur at it, since u've accused basically every user of PV of racism (which u apparently were never "under it" to begin with), tell us what terms to avoid so we may not be labeled ignorant. Am I still allowed to call myself "brown colored woman" or is that being a reverse racist :/?

By the way, your quote from TZ describes some of the most interesting people on the planet, not just me.

the only educated, non racist person on PV whose opinion matters. This person sets the standard for comments. bc u guys r anon it means that ur opinion doesn't matters and u don't know what ur talking about. U guys r not supposed to focus on the topic, talk back with facts or have ur opinion hear as it falls below that of hers. Ur only right if u digress from the original topic and use straw-man arguments or start name calling when u don't have a rebuttal relevant to the discussion. Learn from her who is the least biased person on PV, she doesn't care if she's proven wrong, as long as she gets the last word, she's happy as u can see she's a very open minded person who doesn't mind as long as u agree with her. Only she's entitled to her opinion, no one else is to think for themselves or say what they like/dislike, she should dictate ur preferences. PV exists only for her, it was founded for her.
PS-"...she is one of a breed who substitutes volume for substance, sound for significance, and shouting to cover up the readily apparent phenomenon that [she is nothing more than a person with too much time on her hands, who seems to suffer from a superiority complex and] whose noise-making is in inverse ratio to her competence and her character." from Twilight Zone. Since I'm too illiterate, I only watch tv and don't read books, but hey it teaches u something.
PV post this.

Oh! LOL it's a featured fashion post, that's why I'm getting the notifications. Thank you Pinkvilla.

People who are speculating over why an american actress is wearing a saree, kindly read the novel. It has six interlinked stories. On a second thought, she looks good but the mehendi looks awful.

her designer has not done her justice....if halle had a beter stylist/designer,she would have looked fab...grr...however women w/ hips look much better in saris ... sri devi is absolutely gorgeous in saris.........
