After laughing to death, I was a little at a loss

This film is about four British Pakistanis and a white British man plotting terrorist activities together. Pakistanis are all Muslims, and white British people are converted Muslims. But these people are not only stupid, but also have their own small ideas. They have devised a terrorist plan that can't be realized because of blunders, but in the end they have also achieved a positive result.

The film is very funny, typical British humor, or British humor mixed with British youth culture. The front is purely funny, but the more shocking it goes to the back, I still feel a little sad after reading it.

The film didn't go into too much discussion about why they did this, or they didn't have much experience and deep thoughts, so they joined in hastily. The film's attention is focused on the planning and final implementation of terrorist activities. The seemingly chaotic organization makes you feel that they must either fail or escape in the end or be arrested. The result was unexpected, they actually succeeded.

It was a friend from Pakistan who went to see it together. I asked him if the film described terrorists so inconspicuously, would it arouse disgust? He said: Some people will definitely feel resentful, but funny films will always stimulate some people, don't they? In addition, there are not all terrorists in the film, but also the image of ordinary people. He thinks the strength of this film is that although it is exaggerated, the details are very real. The possibility of young people going to the end unconsciously and unplanned is actually more realistic.

The amazing thing is that when I got up this morning, I kept thinking about this movie. Looking at the comments on IMDB, some people say that this film is a joke about the misunderstanding of terrorists by mainstream British society, and they think they are a group of smart and capable people, but they are actually just a mob. The British should all watch this movie to dispel their fear of terror. The problem is: it’s okay if this person doesn’t say it, but it makes me think this thing is a bit weird. If it were a group of people who knew what they were doing, this terrorist activity would be less random. I ran into the mob, and they joined the terrorist organization in a hurry without even knowing what was going on. Everything suddenly became accidental, random, unpredictable, and unreasonable. Even if they weren't as bad as they thought, wouldn't it be more terrifying?
