The Reluctant Fundamentalist movie plot

2022-01-17 08:03
American journalist Bobby interviewed Pakistani lecturer Genghis as a writer in a teahouse in Lal He, with the purpose of investigating the kidnapped American Reiner. Unexpectedly, the conversation turned into listening to Genghis himself. My own experience in the United States.
Genghis, a young and handsome Pakistani youth, did not hesitate to abandon family traditions and beliefs, and came to New York to work alone with an American dream. The appreciation of the boss, the support of friends, and the love of the photographer's girlfriend made Genghis in New York like a fish in water. He has the life that foreign immigrants dream of in the United States. Until the 9-11 incident broke out, something that seemed to have nothing to do with him ruthlessly changed the rest of his life. Just because of his natural religious beliefs, family background and a Taliban face, Genghis was detained by the police at the airport, destroyed by someone on the road, and arrested for some reason. When he was interrogated as a terrorist suspect for the second time, he still said, "I love America." Such an atypical Muslim deeply felt being excluded and discriminated against in the United States, and his status in New York, the place he loved to live in, took a sharp turn. Genghis fell into a fierce struggle, everything around him began to change, and even his girlfriend's kind confession was regarded as a form of rejection. The love of two people will never be cleared up by the misunderstanding that cannot be explained clearly   .

    Different opinions don't prevent it from being a good movie!

    This is a movie that discusses rationality. It is about the judgment of people, about the emotion of the alien culture, the blind identification with the developed social culture, and the ignorance and contempt for the backward social culture. It takes thinking to understand, but understanding does not mean accepting. The peace that the film promotes at the end, the strength of the Americans in other countries, and the name of the film, reluctant, are all very clear, which is a little regrettable.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist quotes

  • Changez: [about watching the events of 9/11 unfold] In that moment, I should have felt sorrow or anger, but all I felt was awe. What audacity. The ruthlessness of the act was surpassed only by its genius. And David had struck Goliath. I'm sorry if my reaction to the attacks has offended you, Bobby. I hope you see that I'm not celebrating at the death of 3,000 innocents, just as you would not celebrate the death of 100,000 in Baghdad or Kabul, for that matter. But before conscience kicks in, have you never felt a split-second of pleasure at arrogance brought low?

    Bobby Lincoln: And you ask me why they're harrassing your family. Let's just cut the bullshit, okay? You believe in violence as a tool for social change. You teach a course in violent revolution at Lahore University. Your lectures are full of anti-American rhetoric.

    Changez: [cut to him teaching] We will wipe the blood of the invaders from our swords!

    Bobby Lincoln: If that weren't enough, you were spotted at an Asal Mujahideen meeting with Mustafa Fazil, a known cell leader.

    Changez: [cut to said meeting] I think I can help.

    Mustafa Fazil: I knew you would.

    Bobby Lincoln: Last night, Anse Rainier was kidnapped. And this morning, your class was canceled. If you're just an innocent bystander, Changez, why were you hiding? Only guilty people hide.

    Changez: Your candor is appreciated, Bobby, but your conclusions are wrong.

  • Changez: I was just coming to see you.

    Jim Cross: Interesting message you left me. "You're not letting him go"? What the hell does that mean?

    Changez: It means that I'm not going to fire Nazmi Kemal. In fact, I'm not going to do any more evaluations. I'm quitting the firm, Jim.

    Jim Cross: You accepted the position of associate less than three months ago. You leave now, you'll be giving up all hope of ever doing this kind of work again anywhere. You'd be commiting professional suicide.

    Changez: I know I've let you down, Jim, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But I have to tell you that I'm through.

    Jim Cross: You're telling me? You don't tell me!

    Changez: Can we be civil, Jim?

    Jim Cross: You think you're the only person who's experienced injustice firsthand? Throw a rock out there anywhere in this city and it'll land on the grave of someone who's seen worse than you. Now, maybe you're having some kind of breakdown. I will see to it that you will get some rest after this is done. But you will treat my committment to you with the respect that it deserves!

    Changez: And to myself, as well. I have a committment to myself.

    Jim Cross: Do you want to be an insurance salesman, Changez? With a mortgage and a migraine? Is that the life you envision for yourself?

    Changez: As opposed to what? I have to live in truth. You taught me, Jim.

    Jim Cross: You put your fucking shoes on and you go down to that office and you do the job you were hired to do!

    Changez: It's not my job anymore.
