East is East


Watch the film and comment on these aspects:
- Life together of Pakistani and English people in Britain
- Influence of Muslim religion on everyday life (marriages, homosexuality, circumcision, role of the woman, food, costumes).
- What do the different characters in the story do to reconcile themselves with the two worlds, Muslim-non Muslim?
Please write your first name, class and country under your comment.

  1. east is east is a film about a half english-half pakistani family which lives in an english suburb.In the movie the pakistani father tries really hard to have everything under his control and to race his children in a very traditional way.But his rebellious children have a totally different point of view as they feel more close to the english culture!All in all the movie has many hillarious sceens so it can be difined as a comedy and it shows many aspects of pakistan life such as the great impact their religion has on their lives, the stereotypes they have etc..
