The Namesake



Very nice movie about indian immigrants, mostly second generation. I was surprised how they put together indian, american and russian cultures (the main character was named after the Russian writer Nikolay Gogol). I like the way the relationships between the immigrant parents and their children who grow up in the new culture are portraited.

It is ironic though that even the "immigrant" movie happened to be about the upper middle class again.
