2. Jess Bhamra, the daughter of a strict Indian couple in London, is not permitted to
play organized soccer, even though she is 18.
When Jess is playing for fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by Jules Paxton
who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team.
Jess uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also dealing
with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe.
3. Though the film focuses more onto religious and cultural representations, I am
focusing more onto the POSTMODERNIST message of the song and focusing on self
identity and going against gender stereotypes.
The similar, discreet love story is also prevalent in this, though focused more onto
him trying to ‘bring her out of her shell’.
4. Following a strong narrative, the bold juxtaposition between the traditional Indian
mise-en scene to baggy football shorts and unconventional sportswear was striking
when seeing the film.
Though less striking, I intend to adhere to the modern aesthetic of the music video
through bold colours and juxtapose this with a completely black outfit with baggy
sports shorts and T-shirt.
Main actress goes from conventional modern representation of femininity to a more
neutral and comfortable mise-en scene – mirrored by the change in mood
She only happy with model or when she feels comfortable.
