If anyone hasnt read the book yet- YOU HAVE TO. Its better than the film, because you can read what nazneen is thinking, and the films always leave bits out.
@chocchip1248373 Its called 'Memories of a summer' by Jocelyn Pook. Theres also another version called 'Quiet Joy'. I have the soundtrack, its sooooo good!
Come on, what girl would be able to resist a guy like Karim when she's so unhappy in her marraige? I'm not saying adultery is right, I'm just saying that he gave her what she'd been longing for all these years. Tbh, I don't blame her for having an affair, she deserved better
I am a 14 year old girl, I love learning about other cultures and I just finished watching this movie. It was amazing. People, please stop the racism on these comments, it is not getting you anywhere.
So what? Affairs are like that. This is what truly happens. When you are forced to marry someone, then initially you are not happy inside. Especially if that guys is about twice your age. I mean, when you see your husband you are supposed to feel happy (initially). This is reality. There was this hot dude named karim, he made her feel wanted and loved, not abused like her husband. I know it is wrong to cheat, but what about the fact your whole life was cheated away from you?
I watched this film I thought it was really good and true. I've heard about stories like what happens in the film. It's not just with Bengalis but also with other Asians.
VERY moving film. So much of it resonates - from the letters from home, the suitcase, the sewing machine ..the things that were part of our lives ..so moving and affecting...I LOVE this movie very much indeed. Made me cry and cry! All of us feel this - from Bengali's to Cypriots!! Its a universal themed movie!!
Come on everybody, im bengali n i have no problem with any of the intimate scenes in this film, cause at the end of the day stuff like this goes on behind closed doors in the Bengali culture anyway, so why try and protray it in any other way?!
These scene's are part of the journey of the character and what she goes through to find what is important to her! No offense to the wonderful Bengali community - just part of the human story and how her true love calls her back!
I like the idea of how they gave a deeper insight into the life of a forcefully married woman (there's a difference between arranged marriage and forced marriage. This was a "forced marriage", so don't call it an arranged marriage). But I don't think they did a good enough job of demonstrating the Bangali culture.
If you werent from Bangladesh, you wouldn't realize how serious those last few obscene scenes would be to the general public of BD. The illicit affair itself, in reality, would be a huge offense. But in this century, that could be excused (its only a movie & it makes it a little more interesting too). But those last few scenes were of extreme intimacy & completely unnecessary..they went too far. If you're going to make a movie about a certain culture, put an effort into demonstrating it well.
these films put muslims to shame, married and then having an affair these are what the disbelievers do, they eat pig, pig is the only aminal that invites it mates to sleep with its wife, wacth these films but don't take lessons from them
Ok i watched the whole film and was very disappointed. If you red the book, you'll remember that hasina was half the storyline; not in the film! They missed out soo much.
Ive read the book and now ive just watched the trailer and it looks like its gonna be completely wrong! I hate it when they say a film is based on a book and then proceed to change everything.
i know, I loved the book. I really hope that this trailer was just made to attract a wider audiance, because it looks horrible...and the guy who plays karim looks way to pretty to be a good actor.
if it was yo show the real east london bengali community and what their like,u wud of seen open drug dealing,gangs of 20 to 30 bengali boys roaming the streets with the head shaven round the sides.tis bricklane film isnt real
This is a movie with the aim to entertain and make!MoNeY!not to enlight, convery a msg or show reality.This movie cannot show and say anything about Bangalis or real life situations.Therefore it would be sensible to not become emotionally overwheled by it and made to develop ideas and beliefs that are not logical or reality based. Thank you. Btw Im a Bangali guy aged 17 living in east london and believe me I know the reality of it all . . .
i agree 100%,i don't think that this shows what bengalis are really like in my opinion its not even close to show how bengalis live their lives, the novel in fact is very confusing and i think that monica ali doesn't really seem to understand what she writes,although im not from east londodn, i still am able to see that this has no reflection with what the "real"east london bengali community is like and also i won't recommend the book to anyone its not as great as the media has made it out to be
Actually i thought the actress was very naturally beautiful, true she doesn't bathe in 'Fair and lovely' and made to wear contact lens' to make her self prettier, she was very convincing in her part. It was Satish Kaushik who shon for me though, he was brilliant and actually brought me to tears towards the end. The film was good and more should be made like it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Shouldn't have casted an ugly actress like her, there are more prettier girls in shylet and chittagong, but i bet the modern ones won't waste their time in a faggy movie like this. The book was ok, nothing special by Monica Ali, the pace of the movie is extremely slow, but good performance by the ugly actress. Kono Shundor mei nai???
im american and i absolutely loved the film, i have no idea how accurate it is but i thought as a film on its on it was brilliant! i felt that this applied to multiple religions or faiths and people of diverse backgrounds as well

It's not a disgrace to bengali's - the writter putz across pure facts. She is not being disrespectfull at all.
I feel for Nazneen - their are women in the world who are forced into marriage and thats totally not fair.
Monica Ali has pure talent!!
