The film „Bent It Like Beckham“ was directed by Gurinder Chadha and was realised 2002. The comedy takes place close to London and tells the story of the Pakistan girl Jesminder, who wants to become a professional football player.

Jess Kaur Bhamra (Jesminder) loves to play soccer and to get into a real soccerteam, but her parents a strictly against that because its a religious pakistan family and they want jess to get a real women. One day while Jess was playing football in the park Jules Paxton (Juliette) see her playing and ask her if she wants to play in a serious girlteam. After a while jules and jess get best friends.

In the film she get's married.Jules' parents are very proud of her only daugther and they buy her everything she wants.Althought her mother want's Jules to be more lady-like.

The film “Bent it like Beckham” shows the differences between the culturs. If you really try hard for your dreams you can reach them. So don't let you influences from others.

I don't really enjoyed the film because I saw him several times and I don't like soccer.
