"Water" is the tale of the decline of British colonialism in the West Indies, independence and freedom fighters, multinationals and environmentalist -
An excellent film that has me laughing from the opening scene with, Billy Connolly right through to the end. It typifies American Industry and their win at all costs attitude.
The dialogue is very much like that of the old screwball comedies and the music is perfect for the Carribbean setting. All the characters are excellently portrayed and the performances are a treat to watch. The plot is absurd enough to be a wonderful parody of reality.
You can imagine that the British Government really work the way they are portrayed on the screen and waste thousands of pounds worth of tax payers money ensuring that their will is adhered to.
The one liners in the film are excellent "you can't close down an island as if it was a factory" states Michael Caine to Leonard Rossiter who plays the London Minister.
Loved it & rate it 10/10
