Bend it Like Beckham
When I saw this film I couldn't understand why it wasn't as successful as My Big Fat Greek Wedding and then I remembered how our biases influence our acceptances and rejections. In the book The Secret Life of Plants the authors informed their readers as to who really invented the radio, an Indian (from the real India), but Western Europe couldn't acknowledge this truth because it would illustrate whitey wasn't superior, so the credit went to Marconi....so take the big leap and dig the Indian culture and realize how similar our families truly are. Me? I'm Italian-American and I could relate to both Bend it Like Beckham and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Impossible? - try it on for size and see if it fits...but first you must admit who you really are.
