Bride and Prejudice is a romantic musical which was released on to screens in 2004. The film was directed by Gurinder Chadha who has an OBE and is a British film director who is of Sikh Indian origin, she is best known for her hit films such as 'Bhaji on the Beach', 'Bend it like Beckham' and most recently 'It's a wonderful afterlife'.The screen play was done by Gurinder Chadha and Mayeda Berges. The film is mainly filmed in English but has some Hindi and Punjabi dialogue throughout, which adds to the culture.
The film is opened with an establishing shot showing a beautiful view of Indian moving from time to time, and through out the beginning all the main characters are introduced to the audience, allowing the audience to familiarise themselves with the faces of the main characters through the film.
The reason why I looked at this film is because it tied in very well with the idea of culture that me and my partner
had been aiming for, as it gave us a few ideas on different ways in which we could present mixing of the two cultures we were mainly focusing on which is Western and Asian culture and how we could show this to our audience. The film was good to review as it allowed me to see different styles in which ethnicity could play a big role with in my piece.
