What is the point of making such movies really?
The movie East is east back in its time was funny and more or less credible, the clash of cultures, the patriarchal figure holding on stongly to appeareances. I emphasis "back in the time" and more or less.
But now this feels stuck in time, same narratives pointing out towards the backwardness of pakistanis (easten culture) and whites (western culture) as the saviors/embodiment of liberty.
A narrative that keeps selling over and over...
What's more, non of the characters happen to be Pakistani, nor the director. Why speak for others?
