The Namesake Clash of Culture

The thing near The Namesake is non that it is a great pic (although most avid photographic film-goers will be satisfied), but that it treats universal themes with such clarity that any ane who has been through the experience of leaving ones land should be adequate to relate, even if not from India. Directed by Mira Nair and with Kal Penn leading a great cast, the movie follows the lives of an Indian couple coming to spic-and-span York in the 70s and raising children in this consideration.I hire a number of friends that are support generation to Indian immigrants for which reason I believe my understanding of their culture is in a higher place average, but even if that was not the baptistery Im sure these themes would not be lost on me Abandoning the cheer of family life in the quest for reform opportunities Struggling to make a financial support without help, in a culture where both values are different wholly the sacrifices that parents make for the sake of their c hildren.Ive always express that migration is cruel to our ancestors but selfless to our children. The twisting of loosing loved ones being far absent and the constant fight with the irrational horizon that it could be avoided. The temptation of multiracial relationships The experience of the father/son dialog when the finished future of their lineage depends on them The pagan pride that one feels even after(prenominal) leaving the country behind, assuming all great achievements from our people as our own.In umpteen ocassions this only happens at one time we leave our countries. The quietly professional triumph that occurs almost in the background to all the other events in our lives. The crude attempt to follow custom even if this means to butcher them once in a while The ethnical mix that is driven by sanitary adapted second generation kids and their groundless interpretation of their heritage in the context of their daily lives.
