Movie Review of The Reluctant Fundamentalist

The Reluctant Fundamentalist:

                                              

The Reluctant Fundamentalist novel is written by Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid and directed by Mira Nair. She is an Indian Filmmaker and actress based in New York. We have great imagination of America but in this movie we can find that myth is broken down and we see with new perspective. 

This movie is a story of one person named Changez Khan. This movie is based on the 2007 novel and also based on Historical Event of 9/11, and the Post- 9/11 period is the time after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, characterized by heightened suspicion of Non – Americans in the United states, increased government efforts to address terrorism, and a more aggressive American foreign policy.

This movie is all about political controversy and 9/11 attack, idea of East and West, American dream of Changez. Professor of Pakistan University Changez and Bobby Lincoln played a vital role in the movie. Other characters of movie are Arica, an American girl, Boss of this company, Sameer, friend of Changez. American dream of Changez is the main incident in this movie. If we compare this incident with Post – Colonial angle, we can say that how American’s behave with other country’s people. In this movie Changez is very happy to get a job in American company but the he realized that, whatever order is given by his boss is to be completed by him. End of the movie Changez was a Happy because he returns his home and Country.
