Q1.
Summarize the film and Inform one or two gender & migration concepts within
The film is about a young Muslim man who has been caught between his community and the woman he feels he loves. The controversy widens, and all hell breaks loose on him. All this comes after he tells some white lie about his medical entry examination results. He wants to be with the girl he loves, whereas he has been promised another one in the mosque. He also wants to be one of the greatest doctors in the community but has no grades, the big deal of all he must make his father proud. The man is described as very naïve, neurotic but musically gifted, and is the Cleric's firstborn son. In this ordeal, the son must follow all the marriage protocols and tie a knot with the Australian-born-Lebanese lady. Gender and migration concept is the strictness and subtle sexism in how the parents favor the boys over the female gender. One migration concept the film shows a transnational migration which is rapidly transforming the relationships and the migrants' origin home
Q2.
Interpret and evaluate the film using the concepts previously mentioned in a critical manner.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
The concepts highlighted above are on the strictness, subtle sexism that the parents tend to pay more attention to and favor the male gender than the female gender. This is depicted in a short scene, where Ali's younger sister is physically and emotionally wounded when the mother points at her two male children. Without knowing the effect, she says, "I have all the children I needed." This statement hurts the young kid but learns to live with and cries it out. The transnational migration concept is exhibited when Ali, a Muslim, is brought up in the western culture. He marries an Australian girl, breaking family bonds, culture, norms, and community solace, and is rooted in love.
Q3.
Examine and Rate the film's female characters' treatment by assessing if it passes the Bechdel-Wallace Test.
According to movie, the female gender is not treated the right way and under-representation. The interaction among characters also indicates that the treatment does not meet the threshold as the Bechdel-Wallace Test put it.
Q4.
According to the film, yes, there are two named female characters, and of course, they speak to each other. There is an interaction between them at one point, and we get to know that they are related. They dominate the talk about male 'love' interest. The male character acknowledges the importance of the presence of one of the female characters; this is seen when he expressed that he would be comfortable with the presence of the then absent female character.
One quote I would like to stress on that one of the participants said particularly Sami, "affectionate and poignant story of love," which was trying to cast some positive light about the Muslim-Australian kind of lifestyle.
