Bend it like Beckham tells a story about a Indian girl called Jess who loves to play football, however, due to the traditional thinking of her family, her path to chase her love is not so easy. She is not allowed to play football with boys,not allowed to show her legs, instead, her mother hopes she can stay at home to learn cooking, to do housework and to get married with an Indian boy. Dramatically, all the things are happening on the contrary of what her mother hopes, Jess becomes good friend with a English girl Jules, and becomes a member of female football team, what's more, fall in love with her coach, Joe, who is not an Indian boy.
As a Chinese girl, who has never touched Indian culture before, this movie has helped me to get to know it. Even though there are many differences and many parts that I am unable to understand, for example, wedding of Jess's sister was cancelled just because Jess was mistakenly considered to have kissed an American boy, yet I still think it is important to respect theses differences and this movie makes me believe more in this view. The charming of the cultures is because the differences, if all the cultures in the world are all the same, there is no meaning for us trying so hard to reserve them or travel to feel and see them. Our culture is also different from others, if we do not respect others, how can we expect others to respect ours?
After watching the movie, I feel myself lucky because I have parents who support me to do the things I want. I also believe that we can make life-time friend even though we are from different cultures, as long as we show respect and judge people from her heart not appearance or background.
Culture difference is something we can not avoid and this movie tells us more about how to face them and the faith to handle them well!
