    I think it's a sad thing that a person has to "actively fall into the framework of a specific national religion and cannot stand alone as an individual." Having a very handsome Muslim male lead makes people more willing to listen to his story. Although he has an American background and North American stars, his voice is completely from the third world, so it should not be welcomed by the American...

    American dream is not something that everyone can achieve. No matter how smart you are, Muslims are the most unfortunate after 9/11. Of course, the Chinese will also have their...

    great! Some people are given sex at birth, and racial discrimination cannot be erased. Raschel's stranger, who's who's stranger. The American dream, the Pakistani dream, the Chinese dream, is not fragile. Those who go after their dreams are dominated by others, and they will become bubbles if they are not careful. The experience of the central narrator is really sad. The world is inherently so unfair, any dream is a fart. September 11, it turns out that the United States is so fragile. The...

    At first I thought it was an inspirational film about Diaosi counterattacking Bai Fumei, but it was not until the end of the film that I realized that this was actually a main theme film, full of positive energy, and I lost my appetite....

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.
