NaveWeiss's Journal: Movie review (with hardly any details): East Is East

Sucky movie. Don't watch it.

More details: It's shipped as a comedy (and you can get mistaken by its colorfull logo), but it isn't really funny... I mean... would you consider a movie where a woman is beaten by her husband a comedy?

No. It's just a sucky movie about a Pakistanian family in England. Although the girl there is hot, the movie is sucky and not interesting. Especially the father figure which is a traditional jerk, who somehow married a british redhead.

Here are some more details about what happens in the movie. Probably it's spoiling:
There's that family. They have a lots of sons, and according to the tradition, the father decides the brides of his children. It may come to the children in total surprise that the father already planned their wedding and stuff.
So one son from this family ran from his wedding and became gay (so he got banished by the father). The father didn't learn his lesson and now he's planning more weddings to his other sons.. and that's after forcing a circumcision on his younger son (because he forgot to that earlier).

So. This film is a piece of crap, just like most of the Film Four company, who provided humanity other atrocities* such as Trainspotting and Dancer In The Dark. That's why that company got closed, and they deserve it. DIE!

-----------
* I actually didn't really hate Four Wedding And A Funeral, also by this company.. but I think it's mostly because you could see Andie MacDowell's boobs there. Have you noticed that it's hard to see breasts nowadsys in movies? It really really sucks.
I kinda liked The Crying Game too. Oh well.

Lateralus gives it one star

I saw bits of the movie and thought that it's like putting a web cam inside every other traditional house in low income areas. The feeling you get when you watch the movie is similar to being a guest at someone's house when a domestic fight breaks out. You kinda sit there silent and embarrassed while curses and accusations fly over your head. You wish you never came over. You wish you never started watching the film.

I totally agree.
Say, I've noticed you've got 2 sisters. Is the unmarried one available? ;)

Bummer. Everyone's leaving to Canada. Should I do the same?

It only really related to nothen England.

People from anywhere else probably wouldn't *get* it. Yeah I thought it was crap too, film four do actually make some good movies, human traffic for one.
