I watched The Reluctant Fundamentalist on BBC 2 recently. Mohsin Hamid was screenwriter and author, and the role of the narrator in the book Change[z] is much the same, but the plotting is slightly different. In particular, Changez’s exotic girlfriend, Erica, in the book is given a backstory. Changez, in his doomed love affair, mirrors her doomed love affair. It’s a short novel. Very few films are better than the book. Ben Hur is an example. This is another. Here is a reluctant poetry offering reviewing both.
Collateral Damage.
Sir, you need to be careful here
Corporate collegiality offers a veneer
Deep down we eat our young
Our concern is not to be your friend
And to make you pay
No matter what you say
Foreignness is not a choice
Lucid but without voice
A worldview that is unfair
Mirrors a society that doesn’t care
Time doesn’t diminish identity
Meaning relies on natural empathy
Collateral damage

I saw that film too (for the 2nd time) – it’s very powerful.
