Also, in considering the way that the Bamra family were shown in the film, they are represented to be a very rigid Indian family and that always wanted to do things according to the Indian tradition but there was on thing going wrong Jess the younger daughter in the Bamra family did not want to be more Indian but instead she is drawn to the delight of football, a high profile commercial western game.
We can also see that the friends and families of the Bamra family were represented to be more Indian and strict because of their culture and tradition as well as their religion which was silk. They were really concerned about children because they did not want them to be married any different race especially Black, White and the worse thing was for them marry a Muslim. As the film progressed Jess sister had a wedding ceremony with an Indian boy. At the wedding ceremony there was some funny comments made by the traditional Indians towards Jess. They said things like “would you like to marry a nice shave beard like your sister or a man with a turban” I think this was really funny and also explores the genre of the film which is ethnic comedy.
As the film progresses, we also release that there is a developing relationship between Jess the Indian girl and Joe the Irish coach. At the beginning Joe was a bit reluctant towards Jess when she first joined his team. But as we went on we saw that the relationship with each other became better. Joe was a very humble Irish Gentleman, this was discovered when he went to jess house to let her parents know their daughter was taking part in his girls team he really used all kinds of respectful word such as thank you ect. Jess also had a very mutual relationship with her team mates even though they were made up of many different ethnic backgrounds, this gives us the audience the message that no matter what background a person is from we should show respect towards them.
The director really made a positive point of the Indian culture by the way the Indian people were dancing, the kind of food the Bamra family were eating which was agloo and also the background music used when ever the house of the Bamra family house were shown.
The film also celebrates the British culture by the openness of sexuality such as gay and lesbian cases which was really often said by Jude’s mother who was British. It can also be seen that Beckham plays a very important role in football and that it really brings the sense of British of British people and their culture as soon as we see football or Beckham, this symbolises Britain in 2003.
