    East s East, movie review.


    East is East is a movie set in England, in big multicultural.Lodon during the 70's. lt
    invotves a
    pakistani
    famity, around whom the movie f,t#;f*Zeeffittis a Pakistani who
    immigrated to London and has a mixed-race family, as Ella, *te, is English. The plot revolves
    around the family, and how their sons and daughter are reluctant to acquire the Pakistani
    traditions, since they grew up in London and culturally feel more English even though their fathelS
    ascendancy is in fact, Pakistani.
    ,/r.
    I found this movie to be quite interesting ae it tries to show a clear view of the struggle
    that goes on in a clearly divided family. Throughout it, we can see how the children are closer to
    Ella, the good mom who cares for them, gives them money and overall seeks for their well-being,
    whereas George, on the other hand, is hard, angry and extremely strict. He tries to impose all
    these Pakistani values and views 0nto them, and the bomb goes off at the very beginning of the
    movie, when Nazir, the oldest son, faces an arranged marriage and runs away in the middle of the
    ol'
    /
    ceremony. After this, we can see how George tells everyone that his son is "dead", because lf
    betrayed everything that his father believed in.
    The movie goes on showing the cultural struggles of the children as their father tries to
    impose all that he believes is "right" for them as of Pakistani heritage, and then he arranges two
    weddings for Abdul and Tariq, the next in line for marriage. Their brides-to-be are two not so
    gifted, overweight
    girls. Ella of course, openly disagrees with George about another couple of
    '\
    arranged marriages. Chaos ensues when Nazir, the youngest boy (who always wears a hooded
    jacket),
    overhears the conversation and tells his olde.r brothers. When they hear about it, Tariq is
    furious, and he goes and destroys the dresses and ornaments that his father had bought for the
    ceremony. Abdul seems to be the prodigal son, who always agrees with his father views and
    actually shares "Pakistani" traditiorf$frowever,Jaiq takes his brother and sister and they run
    girlfriend ,n M rrieno,tJ'#rir, wrrffived away. ln short, they all come
    back and it all boils to a final confrontation within the family, with George finally understanding
    that he cannot force his offspring to a life that doesn't suit their own experiences.
