Film literacy
"Blinded by the light" is a 2019 film directed by Gurinder Chadha, and it is based on a true story. Director of cinematography is Ben Smithard, and writer is Safraz Manzoor.It`s a British comedy-drama, and it`s a low budget film.
The film talks about Javed who is a Pakistani teenager, living in Luton, England, in 1987. He experiences racial discrimination, and he writes poetry to escape from others, also he found inspiration by Springsteen`s lyrics.
Music used in the film is by Bruce Springsteen.
The message was to be less judgemental, and more accepting.
What I learned about this film was that there was much racism in England back then, and there wasn`t living that many people from different nations. It was interesting to see how life in 80s was in England, also seeing life values from Pakistan dad`s eyes.
