Next up in the round of favorite fictional females: two daughters of immigrants, in movies made by daughters of immigrants. Huh, both of these movies came out in 2002. Interesting

I LOVE Bend It Like Beckham! Awesome movie. And yes, her speech at the end -- I remember being really impressed at the time that she (and the movie) didn't just use a loophole when her friend offered to get 'engaged' to her to pacify her parents. She stood up honestly for what she wanted.

She stood up honestly for what she wanted.

Yup. I adore that moment. And then her dad's speech about how he shouldn't have accepted the prejudices he encountered, and... ♥

Bend it Like Beckham is one of my favourite movies ever. I am an old fan of Coronation Street(Britian's number 1 soap and an after school fave for CBC here in Canada) so I had a somewhat easier time understanding the characters but even I got lost sometimes. Jess is my favourite I wish Parminder Nagra was getting more work lately it sucks how few roles their are for minorities.

I haven't paid much attention to Parminder Nagra's career after ER, but yeah... she's gorgeous, she can act. She needs more roles.
