We watched a nice movie called “Ben it like Beckham”, a story about an indian girl from a very strict and traditional indian family, living in the UK. The big issue in the story was about the girl’s love for football, something that her parents couldn’t stand. So she passes the whole movie trying to make them understand how important this was for her life, as a big part of her personality, and trying also to break some stereotypes from her surrounding people.
I think the big message in the movie is about your own beliefs.  In life, you always have to fight for your convictions, and the support from the family is so important. I think this can be easily related to all cases of intolerance in the world and how important for a kid or any person, is the family and friends support against discrimination. And also, the fact that you always have to fight, and try your best for what you believe.
Even if it’s a funny movie, it has a great message, very positive.

  1. I really liked this movie, because of two reasons. First, It encourages us to keep on following our dreams no matter what difficult them take, besides the cultural message that the director wanted to spread. On the other hand, Something that really caught my attention was how close minded Indian families are. They don't want their sons or daughters to be in touch with the american culture even though they are surrounded by it. My point of view is that those families who migrated to other country should find a way to keep their customs and also put up with the new ones.

  2. I really enjoyed the movie because well, it's entertaining, and because it has a strong message about pursuing your dreams no matter what in order to reach happiness. I admire the main character's determination to accomplish her goals even when she had to go against her family's ideals.

  4. In my opinion the best movie that we have seen until now. I'm agree with both because I think the movie was full of strong messages: relationship between different cultures, stereotypes and dreams. The last one is the most difficult to reach but the most important actually.
