The Islamic world uttered a voice, neither humble nor humble, if you want to listen.

Based on the fact that I have had a flashy dream of upward flow based on my poor background, I think that the reluctant fundamentalist feels the same as the match point and feels special commitment.

But at the beginning of the film I was worried. When the traditional Pakistani music performance and the scene of an American being kidnapped in the local area are as balanced as many Hollywood activities you have seen before, I secretly asked you this movie that tries to establish a dialogue between the East and the West, how? Orient curiosity always at the beginning? Subconsciously embezzling traditional Eastern music, which represents the stereotype of mystery and danger, to serve the atmosphere? After the movie went on slowly, I convinced me that it was acceptable Xiaoxu MSG. The story tells the story of a Palestinian youth who became a Wall Street financial analyst and handed in a rich girlfriend. The world was at his feet in an instant until the occurrence of 9/11; the Middle East roots ruined his American dream, even after he returned to China And because of his experience in the United States, both the jihadists and American agents targeted him at the same time. Which side should I be on?

Mira Nair, the Indian female director who has won the Golden Lion of Venice, made this story plain, but not contemptuous. The precise and well-rounded storytelling skills weave the resonance of the public, and speak out for the Islamic world not to be humble or humble, if you are willing to listen.

(Following "The World in the Word" recently, this movie may be the most worthy of your admission. Please forgive the Hong Kong-based name "I am not bin Laden")

    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.
