2.0 out of 5 stars
Not exactly what I expected,
By
This review is from: East Is East (Widescreen) (DVD)
I was expecting this movie to be more of a comedy - a fun side of cross-cultural families. The side portrayed - a tense and physical aspect - may be true, but not what I was expecting nor wanted to view, given my expectations.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Excellent movie. Good acting, cinematography. Good story line. Not far off reality at all. "Weat is West" is going to be released in February 2011. Should be fun!!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: East Is East (VHS Tape)
This film is funny and a comment on the changing face of England in the 1970s. There have been accusations that the film is racist in its portrayal of the South Asians depicted in it, but why has nobody ever taken the negative portrayal of the English into account? As somebody of British descent, I could be just as easily offended by the stereotype of the English people as crass, ignorant and racist, but I recognize that, in this story, there is a degree of truth(I'm left with the impression that many of the people I've discussed the film with don't get the Enoch Powell reference). And I think if we get offended, we miss the point. When I saw the film, my impression was that its theme was the dangers of forcing your children to be something that they are not and the pitfalls of clinging to your past. Both the Pakistani and English characters in this film are guilty of that. I think this film has a valid message that everyone, regardless of their ethnic origin, can share.
