    Changes in the living environment, the sense of identity crisis, and the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, such themes will sound boring. However, the film's performance can be described as a clever one. The combination of narration and flashbacks can add great points to the film's narrative. But the overly lengthy rhythm and greasy plot still make people feel...

    Maybe it’s that the impression in everyone’s mind for movies of this kind of theme is that [Escape from Tehran] is the kind of tight-paced American commercial thriller genre. The pattern of genre films has been deeply entrenched, and it’s a bit of a slack rhythm to replace it. Not suitable, after all, the director did not want to escape the shackles of genre films, and the structure, literature, or business are a bit ill-fated. But this is still a good subject, a good story!...

    The opening film in Venice, a model of novel adaptation, Miranell is a great female director, and her experience is somewhat similar to that of the male protagonist. The film is not fundamentalism. It provides another perspective on terrorism. It uses a Pakistani who once ascended to the upper class of the United States and several Americans with whom he has contacted to interpret the ambiguous “camp” orientation worthy of fun. Trust can never be achieved, and the world is not. Either black or...

    Racial prejudice stops at communication, and it doesn't stop there.

    What caught my attention was the strange movie name, and what made me reflect was the content of the movie.

    Generally speaking, the plot is stable and true. Two opposing men who have no choice but to choose their camps sit in a teahouse in Lahore and chat. Although there is a nervous atmosphere,...

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.
