You are certain to enjoy the movie Blinded by the Light and you will likely tune up your cross-cultural psychotherapy skills from our program with its discussion. Blinded By the Light— based on a true story — showcases Bruce Springsteen’s music as the driving force in the life of a 1980s teenager in a London suburb. Javed, the son of Pakistani immigrants, is 16 and feeling very stuck in a small town where the local racists are keen to shut down its one mosque. An aspiring poet and lyricist, he is intimate with Springsteen-esque conditions: of being tired and bored with himself, of wanting to change his clothes and hair and face, of asserting that he’s a man and not a boy, and of believing in the promised land. Among other things, the movie is an astute statement on the tensions within an immigrant family, the push of the younger generation to assimilate, and the fears of the older, traditional generation of loss of their culture. The film captures both the grittiness of Javed’s short life and the exhilaration he feels with his experience of Bruce Springsteen and his music.
