A feedback on the movie forefend it like Beckham -From the perspective of cross- ethnic communication Abstract Based on the incline movie Bend It like Beckham, this paper is come issue of the closetlet to reveal the heathenish phenomenon hidden in this story. Divided into three cleaves, this paper mainly makes an analysis on cardinal aspects, unmatched is religion, and another is family subtlety.Finally, the author points taboo it is very important for mountain of different finishs to picture and respect each other. Thus, a serene and harmonious world would be around us 1. submission and analysis of the movie Before the 1980s, Afri shadower civilisation and Asian culture got terrible restriction in UK, however, after the 1980s a large number of movies that describe immigrants life have emerged in postulate industry in England. Bend It like Beckham is such a movie, which borrows ethnical and racial difference mingled with England and India, reflects how the twain cultures co-exist and accept each other in a hard procedure As the immigrant of the entropy generation, Jess, a girl with talent to be a football player, shows her great admiration to Beckham,hoping, virtuoso day, she provide play for England with Beckham shoulder by shoulder, while her mother believes that Jess has two great duties in life to show to prepargon a complete Indian meal, and to marry a nice Indian boy.However, Jess never wants to be a housewife who rump only cook. Jess love of soccer crosses over into a love of life. She runs onto the ambit as if simply at play, in her eyes, football is not one and only(a) purpose of on base culture,but a natural thing in her living environment,however, it was not included in her clan and family culture,therefore, what she has to sojourn is the strait of the ethnical conflicts caused by two co-existing culture. In fact, Bend It like Beckham is a product of ethnical clash.One day, Jess was playing soccer with boys in the park Of course, an Indian girl should not play soccer at all, since in her mothers mind the game consists of displaying your b ar legs to complete strangers. Jess is seen in the park by Juliette, who plays for the Hounslow Harriers, a womans team, and is recruited to pairing them. The coach is a young Irishman named Joe. Although she deceives her p bents about her spliff into the football team, she loves them and substantiates their point of visualize.The cultural conflict is withal upgrading when Jess falls in love with her coach,, which is undoubtedly an earthquake for Indian family, but, at the end of this movie, we keep odor hope, the two family members shake their hands together, and Jesss boyfriend begin to play cricket together. It seems that, side of meat plenty are being accepted by Indian family. And the old Indian co ncourse get out from the dark shadow in their heart. Historically speaking, India was the colony of England for a long time, side commonwealth unremarkably were gentlemen, but they look down upon Indian quite a little.Jesss father was a excellent cricket player, owe to cultural diffusion,he lost the chance to play cricket , fortunately, Jess got her familys support and realized her fathers dream. Then, in the followe smash, I forget give a detailed analysis about cultural differences under the influence of two different tradition and religion, 2. Cultural analysis 2. 1. Culture and family Although, a cultures core values and world control derive primarily from its predominant religious reckon and cultural history, the family is the primary caretaker of these views and values and transmits them to new members of the culture.In this story, there are two families, the representatives of the two cultures, one is the cut-and-dry bicycle England family, observed from the surface, and it is an open, modern, and fashioned family. However, In this story, Juliettes mother misreads Jess and Juliettes friendship as lesbian, so galled that she cried secretly, according to her attitude toward lesbian, we depart realize English passel is conservative in individual. The other one is an emigrate family from India, Indian parents are strict and conventionalistic, they have strong religious belief. Which indicate what kind of Jesss family is.As expected, it is undreamed of and unsupportable for a girl playing football. Family gives children knowledge about their historical background, information regarding the ageless nature of their culture, and specific behaviors, customs, traditions, and language associated with their ethnic or cultural group. In short, the family tells us, and others, who we are and what groups we are part of. ( K. A. Ocampo, 1993, 106). So next, I willing render the different interaction pattern in English family and Indian family from two aspects gender role and individualism- socialism 2. . 1. gender role In India, males are commonly considered the super sex, as Samovar points out, men make most of the important decisions, inheriantance is through the male line, and a woman lives in her husbands village after she marries. (Samovar, 2000,). Therefore, in India, boys give much freedom of expression than the girls, and girls are asked to help with the chores that keep the family functioning. However, in British, women unremarkably have the equal right as man does in family life, even in social activity. 2. 1. 2. ndividualism and fabianism Individualism and communism are chartered through the family, which teaches children whom they essentialiness(prenominal) obey and who the dominant figures are in their life. In this movie, the Juliette from English nuclear family is much more self-governing and self-responsible than Jess who from Indian Family, because, India is a typical body politic of extended family, people in India, share property, all poppycock possession, food, work and love, perform religious rituals together, and often live under the same roof.There is a scene in this movie when her sisters would-be parents-in-law discovered her intimate behavior with Juliette whom was mistaken for a English boy,. Just because of Jesss so-called shameful behavior, they break off her sons interlock with Jesss family according this story, its not difficult to get conclusion that India family is a typical collectivism one peoples thing is the thing of the whole family. 2. 2. Culture and Religion In this movie, you will find lots of religious elements in the story, to some extent, cross-religious communication is the cross-cultural communication. When religion jumps to life it displays a startling quality. It takes over. All else, while not silenced, becomes subdued and thrown into a supporting roleIt calls the intelligence to the highest adventure it mint undertake, a proposed journey acro ss the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit (H. Smith, 1991, P9). So, from different religions, we raise apprehend different peoples spiritual and psychological needs or their behavior and habits, here, pickings the Sikhism as example, we will have a better understanding of Jesss family, Sikhs, followers of the Sikh religion, center on in Punjab State, in northwestern India.Sikhism is an ethical monotheism fusing elements of Hinduism and Islam. It was founded around 1950s, In Jesss familys living room is a large portrait of a Sikh spiritual leader, called Nanak, but above Jesss bed is her own ambitionthe British soccer superstar David Beckham, and there is a distinctive contrast amongst Indian traditional belief and modern British cultural shock.According this story, its not difficult to get conclusion that it is incredulous for Indian people to get married with a pagan or people without same belief, but, in British, Christianity is the dominant world view. In this land, it is not a easy job to infuse with the native Indian Sikh religion, and vice versa. Conclusion England is the birthplace of modern football game, English peoples fanaticism to football caused football cultures coming into being, which exactly stands for the national culture. While India is a terra firma of dances and songs.The scene of Indian jolly wedding with dance and song in this movie is just the range of Indian culture. Young people always can accept new things easily, in this movie it is the two girls who play the role of fusion of two cultures. There indeed are some cultural shocks during peoples communication around the world, no matter which aspect it is, religion, ethnic, family or something else. Now that we live in the same earth, it is very important for people of different cultures to understand and respect each other.Thus, a serene and harmonious world would be around us References 1. K.
