Movie Review: The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

 Hello 
     Readers,

         This blog is a part of my class room activity of post colonial Studies: film screening, The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

Movie Review: The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

                                   "The Reluctant Fundamentalists" is a political thriller drama film based on the 2007 Novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid, directed Mira Nair.

        In this movie we can see contrast between two nations, one is in power position while other is not and those are America and Pakistan. The name of the main character is Changez Khan. He is having job in America and he is more intelligent than Americans working in that company and yet he has to suffer many things in that country because he is from Pakistan and from his appearance people can easily know that he is not from America. Because he is Pakistani, he has to suffer and to born in Pakistan is not his fault. We know very well that America is on power position and they white people are behaving not properly with Pakistani people, he has insulated at airport while checking. So this type of contrast we can see in this movie created with Changez Khan. There are two lives of a Pakistani we can observe, one is before 9/11 and one is after the attack of 9/11.

    So it is very useful movie about racism, business mindset and American dreams of third world. With the character of Changez we come to know the condition of an outsider in American rational world.
