    Why is it a "tea house"?

    Why is it a "tea house"? Why did the protagonist open a "tea house" after returning home?
    First of all, Westerners drink coffee and alcohol. There is no wine in the teahouse, and the tea is just for them to put on airs, but they don't understand it. For the Orientals, the culture of the Orientals...

    In Lahore Tea House, we laughed and talked about life and death

    In Lahore Teahouse, we laughed and

    talked about life and death. If "The Kite Chaser", which tells the joys and sorrows of the Afghans, has moved you to tears, if the vision of Iran’s elite families exposes the ills of Iran’s modernization process, "Nader He" Westminster: A Farewell" once resonated...

    American dream is not something that everyone can achieve. No matter how smart you are, Muslims are the most unfortunate after 9/11. Of course, the Chinese will also have their troubles.

    Another anticlimactic movie, but the middle part is good, and it captures an emotion that cannot be integrated into the local life in a foreign country. Not to mention horror at all.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist quotes

  • Changez: I was just coming to see you.

    Jim Cross: Interesting message you left me. "You're not letting him go"? What the hell does that mean?

    Changez: It means that I'm not going to fire Nazmi Kemal. In fact, I'm not going to do any more evaluations. I'm quitting the firm, Jim.

    Jim Cross: You accepted the position of associate less than three months ago. You leave now, you'll be giving up all hope of ever doing this kind of work again anywhere. You'd be commiting professional suicide.

    Changez: I know I've let you down, Jim, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But I have to tell you that I'm through.

    Jim Cross: You're telling me? You don't tell me!

    Changez: Can we be civil, Jim?

    Jim Cross: You think you're the only person who's experienced injustice firsthand? Throw a rock out there anywhere in this city and it'll land on the grave of someone who's seen worse than you. Now, maybe you're having some kind of breakdown. I will see to it that you will get some rest after this is done. But you will treat my committment to you with the respect that it deserves!

    Changez: And to myself, as well. I have a committment to myself.

    Jim Cross: Do you want to be an insurance salesman, Changez? With a mortgage and a migraine? Is that the life you envision for yourself?

    Changez: As opposed to what? I have to live in truth. You taught me, Jim.

    Jim Cross: You put your fucking shoes on and you go down to that office and you do the job you were hired to do!

    Changez: It's not my job anymore.

  • Wainwright: [Changez is quitting the firm] Is this about me beating you in basketball?

    Changez: You're going to be a great analyst, Wainwright.

    Wainwright: What are you gonna be?
