Ethnic Movies

Posted on April 28, 2012April 29, 2012 By Doriano No Comments on Ethnic Movies

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?
