The movie "East is East" mainly shows the difference between Parkistani and European families.One of the main characters George Khan is the father of the family which clarifies this difference the most.He is cleaved between the love to his family and teaching his children the Parkistani life. But this isn't so easy easy it seems, because nearly every member of his family has his own way to dispute the Parkistani life. This is already point up at the beginning,when the oldest son "Nazir" runs away from his wedding,by the reason that he is gay. As well his brother "Tariq" is the rebel of the family, he fights against that, what his parents want him to do. Also Saleem another son, is a art student,what is against his fathers idea to become a Ingeneur. Maneer seems to be the only child of the seven, which stands behind his father. So it is shown, that nearly everybody of the Khan family isn't a perfect Parkistani. In fact of that, it isn't an astonishment, that at the end of the film happens a big conflict with George Khan ,where everybody fights against them, till the very surprising end. I think the film is great to show the difference of the Asian culture in the family aspect.There is a good suspense and every time there happened a new mistake , which shouldn't happened in a Parkistani family!
