The Effectiveness of Bend it Like Beckham by Gurinder Chadha
Bend it like Beckham is a film about a tradition Indian family with
two daughters, Jessminder and Binky Bamrah. Binky is engaged to
another Indian Sikh, Teetu, and Jessminder is only interested in one
thing… Football!
Jessminder plays football in the park with her friend, Tony, and his
friends until Jules, a player for the Hounslow Harriers Women's
Football Team, asks Jessminder to come along for a try out for her
football team.
The next scene is showing how well the girl players at the Hounslow
Harriers can play football which I think is effective because it shows
that women can play football as well as men. Jessminder tries out for
the team and is accepted by Joe the Teams coach. At this time it is
clear to the audience that Jules likes Joe but Joe likes Jessminder
but it is not clear to the actors, which is a perfect example of
dramatic irony.
You then see more preparations for Binky and Teetu's wedding and as
this is going on Jessminder goes to her second football practice and
is given her uniform, which involves her wearing shorts. This next
scene is the first scene I will analyse.
You see Jessminder sitting in a football stand while the other players
are practicing their skills. Joe spots her and tells Jules to take
over the warm up and goes over to Jess.
Joe climbs over the railing and sits by Jess and he spots the problem
as the camera moves to a scar on Jessminders right leg. The camera
then moves to show both Joe and Jess and moves slightly when each
actor speaks. Through Jess' dialogue the actor speaks in a melancholy
tone, which I think ...
... middle of paper ...
...hich I think
should have been shown more because the whole film was taken up by
Binky and Teetu's wedding preparations and Jessminder lying to her
parents and a little bit of football which was not enough.
I would recommend this film because it's a light drama/comedy that you
would watch after a Sunday meal but personally I don't think that it
could hold its own in the category in which it has been placed.
It's a nice movie with a target audience of mainly teenage to middle
aged women and it does deal with some moral dilemmas and issues which
are dealt with comedy but also class.

They have no team spirit at all, there are no teams or clubs because no one shows interest. Shelton Pryor was Paul’s best friend; he was more outgoing than Paul. He didn’t care what the consequences of his actions would he just wanted to have fun. Shelton was upset because of the facts that nobody cared about the school. He had the idea that if they got a student to run for president things would change.

In Daniel Flynn’s essay “Football Does a Body Good,” he states his point of view on football and the way people should see it. Football is a dangerous sport that has caused many types of head injuries concussions and other health problems throughout the years. This popular sport has caused many players to develop diseases later on in life, such as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, also known as CTE, Alzheimer 's, and Dementia. One of the NFL’s most pressing issues is concussions, which can have life-changing health effects on the football players.
article, he claims that Americans have very mixed opinions on playing football and watching football. One main point in the article is the different surveys in the article that question the popularity of football. Another main point is Krattenmaker’s own view on whether he is going to continue to watch football in the future. Lastly, in this article, Krattenmaker talks about the negative sense of watching other people play this sport.
When I was beginning high school as a freshman, I searched for an activity that I could participate in. I was looking to meet new people and hoping to be accepted by other students. I was willing to do anything for their acceptance. At the beginning of the school year a football meeting was announced, although I had never played football before, I decided to attend the meeting. From the day of that initial meeting, I will be in love with the game for the rest of my life. I learned of the consequences involved with participating in a full contact sport such as football. Many people ask if football is worth the risk for high school athletes. I decided that for me the benefits outweigh the risks.
Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. Psychologists study a broad ranging discipline which incorporates both the scientific study of human behaviour as well as its biological, cognitive, and social bases, along with the systematic application of this knowledge applied to specific problems (McLeod, 2011). However, as for sports psychology, this can be defined as an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from many related fields such as biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology and psychology. Furthermore, it involves the study of how psychological factors can affect an individual’s performance, alongside how participation in both exercise and sport can affect psychological and physical factors (Amezdroz, 2010).
I started playing soccer when I was four years old. At the time I had a lot of problems. To name a few, I was bad at working with others, I was a sore loser, and I did not handle pain or disappointment well. When I started to play soccer I had a low self esteem and was terribly shy. Going up and talking to people was not on my list of things to do. This made it pretty hard for me to fit in with all the other kids and make friends. It was hard to enjoy playing soccer when I felt as though I had no friends on the team. My parents noticed my dislike in the sport, but urged me to keep playing anyway.
I think that perrysburg should have a soccer team. Here are some reasons why I think we should. Many kids play soccer. Since soccer is getting bigger & that the Major league soccer (MLS) is getting big players it would make sense that we have a school team. Finally it would give a chance for kids who can’t afford travel soccer

But he was disappointed by the behaviour and poor attitudes of his players. Then he decided to impose some strict rules on his team members in terms of contract and tell them about his clear expectation from his team like maintain the GPA of (2.3), dress code, attending classes regularly, seat in front bench of the class and respectful behaviour towards your team and Coach because he also call his team members as “Sir”, and he requires them to do the same. Also encourage a team ethic by telling them not to use the “N” word because it’s an insulting word for him. Ken Carter ensures that contract is signed by his t...
Soccer is a complicated sport with an even more complicated history. Indeed, many underestimate the stamina required to be successful, as players commonly run an average of six miles in an individual game (“soccer facts”).
Advertising is simply everywhere, it is something that we can not avoid. Although we might ignore it when we are walking down the street, there is always something wanting to catch our attention. We have advertisements through radio, television, magazines, newspapers, and even on billboards.

Soccer is a fun way to pass time as well as a competitive sport among athletes. It requires a combination of various skills, which include: dribbling, passing and receiving, shooting, defending, as well as goalkeeping for some.
