Blinded by the Light Blog

 I enjoyed watching the movie Blinded by the Light. It had a lot of meaning to it and Javed was a cool character. I saw the problems that race caused in the UK and how some Pakistani families run. Javed's passion is to be a writer and he works really hard at it and even goes to America to give a speech on his writing. For a while, Javed's dad did not approve of his writing but then Javed proved his dad that it was actually a good thing. Javed's dad is the main thing that makes it harder for him to pursue his passion. Another thing that hinders him with his passion is the racism since many people in the UK disapprove of Pakistanis in the time the movie takes place. Also, Javed's only support was his English teacher who at first he wasn't as close with so he didn't have much support until he became closer with his teacher. Javed's muse is Bruce Springsteen. Javed loved him because he is amazing with the words in his music so Javed loves that he's good with words. I don't have a person that really motivates me but I do look I do look up to people. I just don't really have anybody I would devote to like some other people do with celebrities. The movie didn't necessarily motivate me to do the project that I did but it did give me a new outlook on how some people lived at that point of time and how some people find happiness with words.  Can you relate to the movie at all?
