Review of the movie 'Reluctant fundamentalist'

This blog is a part of academic activity done in MKBU, Dept of English.

   This is the review of the movie ' The Reluctant Fundamentalist ' by Mira Nair.

   This film is based on the novel ' The Reluctant fundamentalist ' by Mohsin Hamid.

 Director: Mira Nair
 Released: 2012
 Stare Caste: Riz Ahemad
           Kate Hudson

   As we see in 'The midnight's Children' this fil also cover the major historical events like 9/11 attack. This film is about Capitalism of America and Jehad of Islamic countries.

  The story begun in present time and than goes back in flashback, it moves alternatively from present to flashback.

   The story is narrated by the protagonist Changez Khan in small café of Lahor.  The American journalist as well the CIA agent and take interview with story of Changez Khan.

    In the movie we can find the mentally of people who judge the people according to their look and name , aa Changez experienced in America after 9/11 attack. The very image of America as melting pot is totally collapse.

    Changez's friends and familiar are ask him about attack and all, he answers 
"  How do i know ?"

   There us one word use by Changez "Janissaries" that means how western people use other against their own nation. At one stage Changez feel inferior when he identified as Pakistani.

  There is one Urdu song played in background which means
 " Don't want kingdom
  Man want respact"

    Bobby came to Changez because he or CIA think that the kidnapping of professior Raininer happnes 
 and Changez is may be involved in it. But at last Bobby prove wrong.

  This is worthy watching movie for today's youth. I enjoyed it a lot, you can also.


Thank you.....

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

    The narrator (may be the poet himself) of the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening stops by some woods on his way one evening. The narrator knows the owner of the woods and even where he lives. He is a bit relaxed thinking that the owner of the woods lives in the village and so he won’t see the narrator stopping here. Therefore he can continue watching the natural beauty of his snow-covered woods. In the second stanza, the narrator of the poem says that his dear horse, whom he is using as his carriage, must think it strange to stop here between the woods and the frozen lake in a dark evening, as he normally stops near a farmhouse.
