Deepti Datt Amreh as Amreh. Mira Nair. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. When one day changes the world forever. Rated R for language, some violence and brief sexuality. Did you know Edit. Trivia According to Mira Nair , on the first day of shooting in the tea shop, one of the main actors in the scene refused to say their lines the way that had been previously discussed and rehearsed.
This forced her to frantically rewrite the script in a race against the shooting schedule. While she did not name the actor specifically, it can be assumed that she was either talking about Liev Schreiber or Riz Ahmed. User reviews 75 Review. Top review. Treading on both American and Islamic ideals this somewhat daring dive into the deep and disturbing Psychology and Ideology of the current clash of Cultures is not an easy thing to get across in a Movie. Maybe in a Book, but even that has its limitations to "listen carefully to the whole story, not just bits and pieces".
A Movie, by Nature is bits and pieces put together in a narrative that needs to tell a Story quickly, smoothly, and has not much time for Debate and in depth analysis. But it can do some Justice to the Subject Matter even if it is complex and Politically charged. It is a beautifully Photographed Film and is Artistically quite impressive as it paints a Portrait of a successful Corporate Number Cruncher who has little time to feel for the Lives of those affected by His Downsizing Data.
But as things unfold, this Stranger in a Strange Land, of Pakistani Origin, but Princeton Educated, finds that just being a Foreigner from the Middle East post , He is about to be brought down to size, for nothing more than His place of Origin. It is a complex Scenario of changing perspectives, coping and becoming more than a Superficial player of High Finance or High Religious Dogma. He chooses not to be influenced or persuaded by the Fundamentalism of Corporate or Religious Thugs. He is more than that and so is this Movie as it attempts to put a Face on those that are usually viewed as Faceless.
Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide also includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author. Covering every aspect of the film-making process, this magnificently designed film book comprises an incredible array of images as well as short essays by those involved in the film-making process.
Mira Nair discusses how the novel was turned into a screenplay; Mohsin Hamid reminisces about his first experience on a film set; production designer Michael Carlin recounts the thrill of transforming Old Delhi into contemporary Lahore; lead actor Riz Ahmed reveals how he got under the skin of his character Changez; and editor Shimit Amin demystifies some of his tricks on the editing table.
This book also features a series of gorgeous black-and-white photographs by celebrated photographer Brigitte Lacombe. Designed to provide insight and an overview about each text for students and teachers, these guides endeavor to develop knowledge and understanding rather than just provide answers and summaries. Hamid's "The Reluctant Fundamentalist", one of the most well-known 21st century novels written by a Pakistani author intelligently combines the elements of the Bildungsroman and concepts of Postcolonialism.
Changez is the protagonist of a modern Bildungsroman who experiences the power of a new form of colonialism and is made aware of his role as a colonised subject by his journeys throughout a crucial phase of identity formation in his life.
The protagonist Changez Khan is a man living in two worlds, and throughout the story, he is never really able to pick a side, despite his assertion that his side has picked for him. In that regard, he is perhaps the most realistic reflection of a modern Muslim youth placed in a similar situation. Riz Ahmed does a great job portraying the multi-faceted and conflicted protagonist Changez, and Liev Schreiber is brilliant as Bobby Lincoln, the enigmatic American whose conversation with Changez forms the backbone of the narrative.
