糖 • 爱之吻:錫錫又如何
A film is about a Romeo & Juliet-like love story in Glasgow, in where a Muslim Pakistani young boy, Casim, falls in love with an Irish Catholic school teacher, Roisin struggle against every obstacle like racial difference, family’s pressure, religious pressure, cultural different and value judgment, between them.
Sometimes, differences between two people can attract them to each other & bring them together, but as well served as obstacle avoiding them from going further and keeping their relationship. So the force of push is as strong as the force of pull. The film tries to tell the differences between them, for Casim, his parents have arranged a marriage between him and a Muslim girl because their family needs to have connection with another good Muslim family, like what they do about Casim’s elder sister’s marriage. According to the tradition & custom, they value family& religion most, to them, marriage is something for continuing & keeping a good family tree & religion. However, on the side of Roisin, she has no family, as a westerner, she’s used to follow her heart in doing things & cares one’s own feeling, and religion and family mean not much to her. All these differences & pressure from outside stop them from carrying on.
Besides all those differences, the script writer also tells how the Casim & his younger sister, Sadia search for their own identity, not like their elder sister who’s long accepted the tradition, they are facing the problem of cultural shock. Like at the beginning of the film, Sadia took off her uniform & showed the Scottish football sport suit to tell she is a Muslim Pakistani girl, besides that, she lives as every Scottish young people. So, what is their position and identity? Forever a Pakistani Muslim or follow the western value? Should Casim listens to his family & forever lives under his family or follow his heart? These are the problems that every immigrant has to face. The story is a bit old-fashioned, but reflects the reality, a love story takes part in a small part of the world everywhere, and how love can break the obstacles.
