Bonjour
J'ai vu le film hier soir et effectivement il est intéressant de constater l'écart entre deux cultures et les difficultées rencontrées par celles et ceux qui souhaitent faire fi de leur "héritage" que d'autres qualifieraient de "fardeau".
Ce film nous rappelle que dans le sens communautaire, les aspirations individuelles doivent s'effacer devant les intérêt du goupe (famille, communauté culturelle, communauté cultuelle...). L'autre aletrnative est de faire passer en avant le désirs personnels avant celle des proches. Les deux ont des avantages et des inconvénients, il m'est difficile de rejeter un modèle en bloc. La lutte du modèle communautariste face au modèle indvidualiste.....
En tout cas avant de juger l'autre il faut s'efforcer de se mettre dans sa peau, facile à dire et plus difficile à aire....

Bonsoir Mounir,
Nous venons de voir le film just kiss après avoir lu ton message. Je me souviens que tu nous avais conseillé le film il y a 2 ou 3 ans et que nous n'avions pas pu le voir.
Il soulève effectivement le problème de la transplantation des familles qui se regroupent en communauté dans le pays d'adoption, et les relations des jeunes générations avec les européens. Azad et moi-même nous sommes sentis concernés.

Extract from The Guardian, written by Peter Bradshaw (September 17, 2004)
An unfashionable streak of optimism and humanism runs through Ken Loach's new movie, scripted by Paul Laverty: an appealing Romeo-and-Juliet tale with lovely, unaffected performances about a second-generation Pakistani man who falls in love with the young Irish Catholic woman who teaches music at his sister's school. Loach's 1984 documentary about the miners' strike asked: whose side are you on? That question is here made very difficult by the Balkanisation of culture and politics - and by the mysteries of the human heart.
Casim (Atta Yaqub) is a DJ in Glasgow who dreams of owning his own club, but for his family's benefit acts the role of dutiful son with an accountancy degree, blandly accepting the marriage that his Muslim parents are arranging for him. Roisin (Eva Birthistle) has a more or less amicable separation from her husband and lives alone, teaching at the state Roman Catholic secondary, which we see explode into out-and-out disorder when Casim's feisty younger sister Tahara (Shabana Bakhsh) announces at her debating club that she rejects western labels and calls herself Glaswegian, Pakistani - and also a Rangers supporter. Short of actually donning a bowler and singing The Sash, Tahara could do nothing more incendiary. A virtual riot kicks off outside the school gates; Casim intervenes to help, locks eyes with the beautiful Roisin and winds up moving in with her.
The love affair of a south Asian man and a white woman is only the second most dangerous interracial love story. Reversing the sexual roles would raise the stakes, even potentially bringing us into the world of the "honour killing", the murder of errant young women by their outraged families - of which there has been at last one suspected case a year in the UK for the past decade. It would make for a very different kind of film, and it might also be more difficult to find a south Asian actress, professional or non-professional, prepared to do the reasonably explicit bedroom scenes that Birthistle has here with Yaqub.
