A little immature impression

The process of watching it really gave me a brand new experience in my mind, just as the U.S. election is now populism is on the rise, nationalism does not show weakness, the original relatively harmonious coexisting world has become disintegrated due to a series of terrorist incidents and subsequent wars. IS so many countries. "Treason" joins in the end. Why did the world degenerate step by step. This film gave me a new perspective. The film was adapted from a novel. I didn’t read it but read some book reviews. The novel is more of a "me" to an American. The content of the narration is roughly similar to the content expressed by the protagonist of the movie. However, because the movie has joined the kidnapping rescue to give more identities to the Americans in the tea house, the whole story is fuller, and the biggest inspiration for me from the whole movie is the export economy of culture. The output of the output really cannot be obtained to evaluate a set of theories of Western classical economics. It strives to use data to speak and infer through data. However, the facts do break these data again and again. We should not laugh at the facts. Of course, the facts that we see may also be. It may not be true. The fact that it is inspired to bring me new perspectives and perspectives is the biggest gain for me from this movie.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist quotes

Changez: Pretend I'm him.

Changez: [about watching the events of 9/11 unfold] In that moment, I should have felt sorrow or anger, but all I felt was awe. What audacity. The ruthlessness of the act was surpassed only by its genius. And David had struck Goliath. I'm sorry if my reaction to the attacks has offended you, Bobby. I hope you see that I'm not celebrating at the death of 3,000 innocents, just as you would not celebrate the death of 100,000 in Baghdad or Kabul, for that matter. But before conscience kicks in, have you never felt a split-second of pleasure at arrogance brought low?
Bobby Lincoln: And you ask me why they're harrassing your family. Let's just cut the bullshit, okay? You believe in violence as a tool for social change. You teach a course in violent revolution at Lahore University. Your lectures are full of anti-American rhetoric.
Changez: [cut to him teaching] We will wipe the blood of the invaders from our swords!
Bobby Lincoln: If that weren't enough, you were spotted at an Asal Mujahideen meeting with Mustafa Fazil, a known cell leader.
Changez: [cut to said meeting] I think I can help.
Mustafa Fazil: I knew you would.
Bobby Lincoln: Last night, Anse Rainier was kidnapped. And this morning, your class was canceled. If you're just an innocent bystander, Changez, why were you hiding? Only guilty people hide.
Changez: Your candor is appreciated, Bobby, but your conclusions are wrong.
