The Namesake Trailer. ⇒
5 September 2006, early evening
They are turningg Jhumpa Lahiri's excellent book The Namesake in to a movie starting Kal Pen of all people. I'm not sure why I never wrote about the book here; it's really quite good and I enjoyed reading it a lot. If you haven't read it you should. I think it does a good job of summing up some of the feelings children of immigrants sometimes feel -- conflicts of culture and things like that. The trailer is looking pretty good. (I can't imagine Mira Nair making a bad movie anyways.) Update: Anyone else realise that Tabu is playing the mother in the film. Crazy.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
That trailer does look pretty good. Anyways, I think Harold and Kumar touched on the sentiments of immigrant kids, though not quite to the same degree.
