Cultural Identity

This gif is a clip from the movie where Canan and her boyfriend find out she is pregnant. The caption reading, “when your whole life just changed,” is important to the film. The idea of getting pregnant means a major change in someones life, and in the situation of the movie, being Turkish and having a baby with a British man is a giant cultural change. The  movie focus’ on cultural appropriation and the concept of a blended lifestyle, and just how hard it can be. The gif captures the fear and emotions of the two as they both know the pregnancy is not good and can lead to negative consequences for the “stubborn” family not looking forward to accepting change in cultural identity.
