Movie review of Reluctant fundamentalism

On 9th September in Department of English MKBU I saw the  movie Reluctant fundamentalism.
This movie is based on Mohsin  Hamid 's  novel which has same title. This movie has framed narration.

About the movie:-
 The movie began with Lahor's professor Named Changez khan. He was the main protagonist on novel and hero of movie.
He was pakistani and have dream to settle in America.

Narrate the story to Boby:-
Boby was American journalist and secret agent of CIA . Changez khan narrate his story to him. At last Boby had misunderstanding that Changez had involved in terrorism and he shoot changez's one student. Changez narrate all the things to Boby that how he got success in America ,about his girlfriend and about his disappointment.

Changez's love for America:-
Changez had dream to settle in America . So he went there and find good job in MNC. His success  was touching to the hight and he became CEO of  company. He loved her girlfriend and wants to marry her but the attack of 9/11 change his life and problem comes in his life.

Felt harassed and come back to home:-
In America he felt racism and  insulting . His girlfriend also made fun on him and he thought that this place was not for him. After the attack people thought that muslim had interwoven  in this etc. So he left his great job and came home.
Post colonial view in Reluctant fundamentalism:-

Racism:-
Changez khan felt racism in America when he was insulted by the people. Then he felt that that is good for him that he serves for his own country rather than other.
People of America had mentality that terrorism spread over the world by  the m Muslims. This is post  also a post colonial thing.

Country like America thought that no one had courage to go against them but the attack of 9/11,proved them wrong. They think that they can ruled over the world but no one ruled on them.
