Which movies do you think portrays certain cultures better than others?
For example…
My Big Fat Greek Wedding does a good job for Greek families
Bend it Like Beckham does well for Indian culture (especially in England)
Goodfellas depicts the Italian experience well…ok a particular element of course…same with the Godfather series. For the family culture I would pickMoonstruck
The Commitments is my favorite film about the Irish experience but what do I know LOL. +Noeleen McGrath might pick The Wind that shakes the Barley…but that was such a downer.
The Joy Luck Club is a gem for capturing Chinese culture and history within the family dynamic, especially with mothers and daughters.
Four Weddings and a Funeral is a delightful look at being British.
Muriel’s Wedding makes you want to be an Aussie!
What are some other good and bad examples?
