:: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 :: Much has been said about the fine film "Bend It Like Beckham" which I finally got around to seeing. I love sports movies which take me somewhere I haven't been, because I don't particularly like sports. This is more a "culture clash" movie, and ties in with my Bollywood tastes, being the tale of 'Jess' Bhamra, a Indian girl living in England who happens to be a fantastic soccer player, but is stuck in a "traditional" family, who do not think it proper for her to pursue her dreams. Directed by Gurinder Chadha, this is a heartfelt movie which, like "Real Women Have Curves", takes the viewer into a foreign subculture, and immerses us in this culture. It's also a neat sports movie, and Keira Knightly is more stunning here than in "Pirates of the Caribbean. "
