What's love got to do with it?
One of the producers is Jemmiah ex-khan, and the movie stars Lily James (love her face) , Emma Thompson and shabana Azmi and plenty of brown people.
I went into the movie with zero expectations, I had no idea the movie existed and the subject of said movie, I went because my cousin wanted to see it.
Basically it's about a guy in the UK who goes down the route of being arranged marriaged to someone back in Pakistan. The movie was humorous, unapologetically truthful .. light heartened and some moments * the truthful ones.. very heavy.
It was refreshing to see a movie done from a guys perspective, and refreshing to see the guy going into it happily.
unfortunately I relate to this movie, my very modern parents felt instead of girls throwing themselves at me in uni they will combat that by throwing one at me instead. Lol I related to the guy because people back home tend to think boys/girls raised in the western world lack boundaries. I can remember the conversation when she told me the same... what you don't drink? Etc lololol you are so conservative! .... And anyway we tend to think the girls/boys back home are conservative.. they aren't.
The ending was great.. although they showed the couples to be happy and move on swiftly. It's often not the case.
In my case the girl messages nonstop on fb and emails, 10 years on.. about 3 times a mth.. about how great we were together and that I should give her another chance, I don't even read her messages sometimes for years.. so damage has been done on both sides.
It's messed up, people should stick to their own cultures.
