Review of The Namesake (2006) by Yvette B — 13 Apr 2013

This film focuses on a couple from Bengali that lives by Hindu traditions and has come to embark on a journey to a life of the America way. Ashamed Falls in love with her husband that was chose for her which is Asoka. Ashore and Ashima move from Calcutta to Queen New York.

Born two children (boy and girl) America son Gogol from an Indian Immigrant. It was only thru their burley there son go gal is caught between his Indian roots and his America birth right. Gogol wants to fit in among his New Yorker friends despite his willingness to let go of their traditional ways. His sister Sonia did her own thing. Gogol didn't like the name his father gave him and wanted to know why he was given that name. It was through Gogol and his sister's journey they both encountered conflict and heartache. They endured college, snobbery work, culture issues, they meet potential partners, marriage divas and experience sadness and joyfulness.

Gogol begin to see the link between the world his parent left behind and the new world that lies in from of him. The way that the movie relates to religion is that of the Hindu belief there associated with multiplicity gods and does not devote the worship of one particular deity. There spiritual practices is prescribed to as a person that should be able to correspond to his or hers competence and that a person should have the freedom to choose of invent a form of Brahman that satisfies his or her craving send to make it the objects of their worship the Hindu enjoy freedom of worshiping their personally chosen icon is to offer their pray to the indefinable Brahman.

This film focuses on Indian culture and the power and full of a family that movies from Calcutta to Queen New York a family that has to adapt to a life in America they has two children (boy and girl) they grew up only to realize that there identities' would cause them both conflict and heartaches, this family endures many different events such as work the different in peoples ways the meeting of partners, marriage and sadness and joy surprise as their life journey progress.

I recommend this movie because I feel there are a lot of people who is trying to find themselves between the many different culture.
