Director Mira Nair drastically changed the structure of the original story, a little chattering, turning the dream monologue with emotions flowing like water in the narrative into a wonderful story that keeps flashing back. Seeing the disappearance of the same American dream from the dual perspective of text and video narrative.
The dual existence makes the film interesting and sentimental. Appreciation and sympathy for the male protagonist go hand in hand. In the first half, actor Rizwan Ahmed interprets a Gatsby-style dream-seeker who is ambitious, sexy and affectionate. In the second half of the turning point of 9/11, his performance was just like the literal translation of the title of the book "Reluctant Fundamentalist." White Americans are much more unstable than white Americans. After experiencing a series of events, he walked out of humiliation, dissatisfaction, anger, and doubts, and returned to his cultural identity spiritually.
It’s worth mentioning that the music of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" is very prominent. The opening ceremony shots are full of clouds and flowing water. It has a great master atmosphere. The music is also magnificent and powerful enough to shock. The emotions that can continue to converge in the heart have opened a small gap, and the processing is not perfect
