The Bigger Picture film club ? ?The Big Sick? (2017) at the Ivy House on 26 July 2018


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?The Big Sick? (2017) at 8pm on Thursday, 26 July 2018, at the Ivy House.


Written by its (loosely-based) real life protagonists (Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani) and starring one of them (Kumail Nanjiani), this tells of a fledgling Pakistani stand-up in America who has a relationship with a white woman (Zoe Kazan plays Emily), who he meets through an audience heckle in Chicago. He does not tell his immigrant Muslim family, who wish him to have an arranged marriage. When he admits to Emily these pressures (and that he cannot see a permanent relationship evolving), she leaves him. However, she then falls very seriously ill (the Big Sick of the title), and Kumail finds himself working with (and frequently against) her parents (the excellent Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) to support her as her conditions worsens.

    • “So your next line of attack is so start making it personal, carry on, eventually you'll get thrown out of here. ” how was my post a personal line of attack? how will I get thrown off? Will there be a petition?    put the blunderbuss down, stop firing indiscriminately and try and address the points people make    if you jump on a typo and someone does the same don’t fire off another round - try and understand why that typo reference was made    But if you feel I’ve gone too far, do click the report button. Let’s just hope admin isn’t part of the liberal elite and doesn’t action eh? That would be just typical 
    • Did I wake up in some parallel universe - listened in to Keir's press conference today and he was saying immigration was out of control, the Tories had been running an Opens Borders Experiment and his party were going to get on top of it.....sounded very much like a right-wing Tory pitch....;-) Also, does the ONS not have an element of responsibility - these are, after all, their figures that are being continually revised - is their data collection/analysis robust? Or is the suggestion that there was political interference in the numbers that were being published by the Tories?   Did I wake up in some parallel universe - listened in to Keir's press conference today and he was saying immigration was out of control and his party were going to get on top of it.....sounded very much like a Tory pitch....

    • So you're next line of attack is so start making it personal, carry on, eventually you'll get thrown out of here.  Thought you'd given up with me, but you can't let go.  Me and 2.86M people are all fed up with the pigs ear Starmer and his motley crew of things and want a change. The red witch has cast a wicked spell over the entire country and left us all in an even worse mess than before.  We need the wolf gone man.
