Review of The Namesake (2006) by Bryce W — 31 Mar 2015
The Namesake was a movie that was interesting and created a story that shows the difficulty of immigration and moving to America. However, because of the slightly slow moving storyline and the amount of "American" in the movie, the story wasn't very intriguing.
What I mean by "American" is that what Gogol/Nikhil experienced during his life was the typical American lifestyle and Ashima and Ashoke had to experience this firsthand. In the novel, Gogol spoke quite a bit more and this added an extra element to the book.
This element was lacking in the movie, and this took away from the overall movie. I enjoyed this movie, but it was not one of my favorites.
