An EXCELLENT film I''d recommend to everyone!
1 of 1 found this helpful Based on the novel of the same name by best selling Indian author Jhumpa Lahiri, 'The Namesake' is a touching film about family, traditions-old and new, change, and the joys and pains of life. Ashoke Ganguli is a friendly, although shy college student in Calcutta, India. During the summer of 1977, while on an annual trip by train to visit his grandfather, he becomes totally engrossed in reading Nicholai Gogol's classic novel, 'The Overcoat.' A kindly older gentleman on board the train with him asks if he's ever been abroad. Ashoke tells the man that he has not, to which the man replies, "pack a pillow and a blanket and see the world-you'll never regret it!" Ashoke laughingly tells him, "that is what books are for-to take a journey without moving an inch." They share a few more pleasantries before Ashoke returns to his book. Unfortunately the train later crashes, leaving many dead and Ashoke severely injured. During his long, painful recovery he decides to take the old man's advice and once he is well, transfers to a university in the US. He never forgot the man nor the book he was reading when he almost died. While in grad school, his parents arrange his marriage to Ashima, the daughter of a family friend back home in India. Ashima is a strikingly beautiful music student and Ashoke becomes smitten with her upon first sight. Although she is very shy and has only met him once, Ashima agrees to become his wife and shortly after their wedding, moves back with him to the United States. Initially, the move is an overwhelming transition for Ashima; Ashoke however, is very kind and patient with her, and as time passes they grow to love each other very much. Their first child is born soon after and Ashoke lovingly nicknames the baby boy "Gogol" after his favorite writer. Traditional naming practices among Bengali's' states that the maternal grandmother should name the child, however she passes away before one is formally decided upon. Ashima chose 'Nikhail', but later a teacher informs her that her son likes to be called Gogol in school, so it becomes his "good" name as well as his nickname at home. Ashoke and Ashima have a baby girl (Sonia) soon after. Years pass and things go well for the Ganguli's; Ashoke's career takes off and Ashima becomes a librarian. They buy a big house in the suburbs, spend lots of time with other Bengali families, and often travel back to India to visit relatives. Gogol and Sonia, however have truly 'Americanized' lives. They love and appreciate the sacrifices their parents made for them, however don't understand the 'big deal' behind the importance of traditional culture and family. Upon graduation from high school, Gogol admits that he wants to change his name in favor of a more 'American' one, and decides to formally change it back to Nikhail; which somewhat disappoints his father. While in college, he becomes engrossed in his new life and has little time for his parents; much to the dismay of Ashima. He starts dating "Maxine," a wealthy, white, American girl who is oblivious to the culture differences between his family and her own, and upon Ashoke's untimely death, they break up when Gogol finally reconnects with his family and moves back home. He later falls in love with Mushuumi, the intriguing and seductive daughter of a family friend, whom he was acquainted with in the past. Many ups and downs ensue in this touching story, and I suggest you check it out! It made me laugh, cry, smile and reflect!

The movie I ordered is in excellent, new condition.
Id been looking for Coffy to add to my colection of 1970s movies. Its a cool movie, and Ive loved Pam Grier's style since I was a little girl. I have several other 70s films, and I dont mind VHS. I still buy VHS tapes as well as DVDs because my player can show both, and VHS is so much cheaper now.

Pride & Prejudice/BBC/1996-One of my favorite movies!
Pride & Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen novel and the 1996 BBC mini-series starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is my FAVORITE version of the story. I decided to re-purchase this film because my first copy was lost about a year ago. I initially owned the DVD set, but I dont mind VHS because my player shows both types of video. The price was GREAT and although the cases show a little wear, the movies play perfectly!
