This is seen through themes and filming techniques. Parent vs. Children is one major theme shown throughout the film when Jess wants to succeed her dream by playing football for a girls’ team. There is one thing in her way with her parents going against the topic of football as they want Jess to grow up and stop acting like a little girl, “you must start behaving like a proper women”, says her father. In the wedding scene and the football scene the theme is being shown when Jess is at the wedding and finally wins over her father to go play football and follow her dreams. In the wedding scene and the football scene, filming techniques have been used to make the scenes more interesting and creates tension for the audience.
Her relationship with her parents is good more often than not and her love of soccer apparent. She is a strong athlete, a good friend, and has a bright future. But when she falls sick and the infection infiltrates her heart, things change. Her reactions, though irritating on the surface with her fits and tantrums, is understandable and heartbreaking. Her struggle to comprehend what is happening and her resistance to both the prospect of death and a long rather than short recovery lend reason to her responses.
Jess's parents want her to lead a traditional life and learn to cook, work on her education, and get married like her sister. They don't like her playing soccer, which Jess not only loves to do, but is also very talented at. At the end of the film Jess realises that she can belong in both cultures and is happier to do that. Film techniques are used throughout the movie to show this. In the opening scenes of the film Bend it like Beckham, Jessminda is portrayed as a young lady who is stuck in between two cultures.
She, herself, wears a hijab while playing and argues that it is not a safety hazard if worn properly. She suggests that soccer is an excellent sport for all to play, as it is affordable, great exercise, and promotes teamwork. She uses examples in two instances where girls have been banned from playing, because of their head gear. Khan states that some directors in FIFA and VSF in Australia have supported the act of wearing hijab, and have changed the rulebooks to allow this. By referencing a movie that illustrates similar instances, she expresses concern that the girls may lose their cultural diversity.
An example of this would be the character of Jesminder (Jess) from the movie ‘Bend it like Beckham’ (2002) Set in Hounslow, West London and Hamburg, the film Bend it like Beckham follows two 18 year olds with their hearts set on a future in professional soccer. Heart-stopping talent doesn't seem to be enough when your parents want you to hang up your football boots, get a good career in and learn to cook the perfect chapatti. Jess was the classic young Indian girl, with her parents wanting her to grow up and live up to all the traditions the family had kept, even though they now lived in England. Jess was happy enough to live to most of the traditions but her ultimate goal was to play soccer – and she was extremely talented at it. One’s identity is obviously somewhat based on your culture but it doesn’t limit who you are, you have your own identity.
“Bend it like Beckham” is a teen flick about an Indian girl named Jess who wants to play soccer instead of being married like her sister. The main theme is cultural expectations and the moral of the film is “to follow your own dreams and not letting someone else tell you what to do.” / “The world is changing so let me be.” The main dilemma for Jess is either to professionally play soccer or give it up, be obedient and just get married which is the cultural expectation of her parents. The style of the film is quite realistic as it does accept the cultural values and its racial understandings. * Although the film lacks it did have the realism that we all can understand. “Blackrock” is a teen flick which was based on a true story.
Ayla ends up being impregnated, however, this still does not stop her from challenging the clan and continuously showing her capabilities of when it comes to math and sports. In the end, Ayla ends up showing the clan extreme respect for elders and overpowers the ludicrous actions of the clan’s newly-elected leader. Hollywood ends this film with the generic, “walking off into the sunset” scene when Darryl Hannah walks away from her son, whom belongs to the clan, and the audience is left in hope and excitement for Ayla’s future accomplishments in furthering the growth of her kind; mentally, physically, and emotionally. This movie represents the Homo genus within the Hominin tribe. Homo Neanderthalensis is the specific subspecies that is
Rayshelle Wright English 102 Cheerleading IS a Sport Despite what the many critics believe, mainly football players and other athletes, cheerleading is a sport that requires hard work and dedication. Cheerleaders, just like participants in every other sport, attend camps, practice multiple times, risk injury, and face competition. It is time for cheerleaders to get the respect and recognition they deserve, instead of the stereotyping and ridicule they receive. During those last weeks of summer when all the sports teams are off at camp, one might assume that cheerleaders are just working on their tan. However, this could not be further from the truth.
Sophie and I are sisters, but that does not stop us form being on two different ends of the scale. Sophie is two years younger than I and has been a cheerleader her whole life, but I on the other hand have been involved in soccer my whole life. So as far as someone could see, that alone causes conflict. From the way we see ourselves to the way to like guys differ, but all in all we are still sisters so we have some things in common. Since Sophie and I were little, we suffered from something my parents would like to call “the Canady curse”.
