Abstract
The movie shows us two major cultures; on the one hand, the Indian culture and on the other hand the British culture. We also see a little of the Irish culture portray itself through the coach. Even though the coach is Irish and the soccer team goes to Germany, these two different cultures are not directly described in the movie. My first Impression after seeing this film was that I felt that the movie portrayed a little too much on the stereotypes of the different cultures. I think that the Indian family was highly caricaturized more than Jules' parents whom were playing the role of the English family, but my thinking on this could be because I am more familiar with the British culture. The first fact that interpolates me was the extent to which Indians have religious acts and rituals. For example when Jess and her sister meet an Indian woman in the street they greet her in a specific way. In fact, to greet a friend or another Indian, they join their hands (palms together) bow down in front of the other person and say "Namaste, Namaskar or Pranam"
