British film on Ram & Sita

British film-maker Antonia Filmer  is out to tell the love story of Ram and Sita through her film. She visited the temple town of Ayodhya recently  to get a feel of Ram`s birthplace, experience the common man`s life, meet relevant people to gather inputs for her project titled `The Perfect Man`. Antonia  believes in the  historic love between Rama and Sita and later  their  separation .  For Antonia  it  is ironical that everyone knows about Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Troilus and Cressida but the story of Ram and Sita remains limited to Indian diaspora! She feels the Romeo and Juliet story is the opposite of a moral example -- their love was a young passion! But Ram and Sita imply a more mature love story especially after all the delights and tribulations they experienced. And above all, it was not fiction.  Their final separation is  the highest expression of love; Ram followed moral path and respect from his people over his love for Sita. He did his duty as  king  and she followed his wish. Both behaved with dignity possibly in spite of personal suffering which does not come easily and can only be done out of love.
