This document provides character summaries and analysis of scenes from the 1985 British film "My Beautiful Laundrette". It examines themes of class, ethnicity, traditional values, and the political and economic climate of 1980s Britain under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Key characters represent different perspectives on these issues, including Omar (British Pakistani), his uncle Nassar (successful businessman), Johnny (working class), and Omar's father (socialist). The laundrette they run serves as a microcosm of 1980s Britain, where traditional roles and relationships break down amid social changes wrought by Thatcherism.
