    Three and a half. The resignation scene is good to be filmed. When a colleague asks a question, what are you going to be, this is the credit of the screenwriter. Then the actor and the superior in the meeting room are meeting in the same rhythm and direction, and the meeting outside the meeting room This is scheduling and photography. At the moment when the actor walks out of the revolving door, a woman swiftly penetrates, and there is a small gesture of hand pushing. This is a magical effect...

    Compared with the original work, there is still a certain adaptation, the main line part is still the same, but a branch line has been added to the film, which is the so-called character motivation-why the two are talking here.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist quotes

  • Changez: Pretend I'm him.

  • 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.
