本片讲述了911对巴基斯坦人和整个穆斯林世界信徒的影响。是一场在正统派和自由派穆斯林之间的战争。现状带来的冲击不仅存在于穆斯林和西方国家之间,而且存在于穆斯林信徒之间。受良好教育的现代穆斯林信徒因为他们的生活方式和西式服装而遇到了困难。正统派穆斯林指责西方世界仅仅凭借他们的穆斯林名字而片面的把他们看做是潜在的恐怖分子。这个矛盾让穆斯林为此受苦。以上提到的电影“KHUDA KE LIYE ”(以父之名),英文名字“IN THE NAME OF GOD”的主题。电影有趣的地方是如何将三个大陆所发生的事情联系起来。不像通常的印度和巴基斯坦电影基于浪漫,舞蹈和歌曲,本片基于一些非常严肃的问题之上,提出了很多具有争议的困扰穆斯林信徒的话题。
Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman), a worn-out private detective, is hired to look for a 16-year-old girl who has run away from the luxury home of her mother, formerly a small-time actress in Los Angeles. The more the weary cynic tries to get under the surface of the seemingly simple case, the harder it is for him to find his bearings among the lies and deceptions that surround him. Eight years after the key New Hollywood film Bonnie and Clyde, Arthur Penn and Gene Hackman reunited to collaborate on what was to become one of the most undervalued films of the decade. Like Polanski in Chinatown or Altman in The Long Goodbye, in his revisionist film noir, Penn also allows the 1940s classic genre to pervade the complex reality of the 1970s. The feelings of bitterness and emptiness in the modern Chandleresque protagonist originate not only in the “public” sphere of the strange, increasingly convoluted case, but in his private life as well (boyhood trauma, a broken marriage). As Moseby remarks of a sporting event, “nobody’s winning … one side is just losing slower than the other.”
