The Reluctant Fundamentalist

The Reluctant Fundamentalist

The film is not as lethal as it might seem at first glance, because in the end Genghis chose to portray a Muslim who is neither infinitely pro-American nor fundamentalist, but a nationalist. He has never given up on American values ​​and remains obsessed with the minutiae of the means of struggle (such as refusing the resistance's demands for his assistance in hiding weapons). This is the real tragedy.

I don't know if this is an exaggeration, but at the end of the film the Americans do act like the Chinese invaders in the history books. Really too arrogant! At the end, I remembered that this film was invested by a company in Doha, so I was relieved: the civilization of the peninsula is indeed a lot worse than that of Persia and India.

When Genghis started to reminisce about his past in America, I knew this was the theme of the film. It's just intentional or unintentional, this movie finally shows a compromise, and it's not an exaggeration to see it as a movie with no solution. After reading it, I can't help but sigh, because compared to China, because of the great leaders, our history is no longer as strife as the countries of the third world.

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.
