2) The Reluctant Fundamentalist:-
The Second movie is The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2012) by Mira Nair. She is an Indian filmmaker and actress based in New York.She made films based on novels.
She also made one movie named The Namesake. This movie The Namesake is based on one novel written by Jhumpa Lahiri under the same title The Namesake (2004). This film is released in 2006. This film is also very good and she given appropriate justice to this film also.
If we talk about The Reluctant Fundamentalist this film is similar to the movie called New York (film) released in 2009. In New York movie hero's motif is to take revenge and here in this movie we can say that hero's motif is good to forgive everyone.
The movie is ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’. The name itself suggests the conflict. The story is about Changez khan who is coming from the elite Pakistani family. He goes to America for degree. He has a dream, an American dream to be a successful businessman. When he was about to it the 9/11 attack happened. After that incident everybody’s point of view towards Changez Khan changed. Even his colleges looked at him differently. His physical appearance gives a kind of threat upon the people around him. Here we can apply post colonialism that how the youngsters coming from the third world countries are not given the same chance in the first world countries, and how quickly they changes their point of view towards an innocent person. Throughout the movie Changez Khan was thinking that “America gives equal chance to everybody and this is the country of freedom” but at the end he changes his point of view. This line itself suggests the colonizer’s power. Changez Khan is a talented young man and that is why he gets many offers from many parties but he kept himself aloof and so at the end he gets nothing.
