REACTION HIGHLIGHTS! | English Vinglish | Part 1/3 | The Slice of Life Podcast

[@thesliceoflifepodcast]

Hey everyone, Due to the negative comments we would like to address some things: 1. Regarding the comments about the coffee shop scene: We did not mean to make light of the situation shown in the movie. We have read your comments and know this is something that does happen and we didn’t mean to offend anyone. The reason some of us weren’t engaged during that scene was because the acting by the American cashier was a little off-putting and when the music picked up and Shashi ran out of the coffee shop, there were points that seemed more dramatized. We still thought this scene was powerful (we said in the video that Sridevi’s acting was amazing in this scene!) and we would suggest that you watch our review coming out soon to understand all our thoughts on this. 2. Many people are saying we talk too much during the react. I’m sorry if that is annoying to you but that is how we react. When we talk, laugh, and discuss points in the movie that means we are engaged in the film and love it! Our review of English Vinglish will show that! Also we don’t want to just copy other react channels, we want to be genuine and honest. If you want to watch the full reactions where there are points were we don’t talk as much, that is available on our Patreon. 3. Some people are saying we are doing this just for the money. That is entirely not true. We make barely anything on these videos and definitely not enough to support three people. We all work full time (Ben works in IT, Mike is a financial adviser and Isaac is a mechanical engineer). We do these videos in our very limited free time! We make these react videos because you guys first suggested it! And we love learning about the Indian cultures! All these negative comments complaining about us really discourages us from continuing to dive into Indian culture. Maybe that’s what you want but we hope you can be more understanding to us as we continue to learn and enjoy Indian film. Please keep the comments respectful to everyone. It is very discouraging to see war break out in the comments so often.

Well have had such experiences in America and in many other parts of the world.. Its 1000 times scarier for someone who cant speak the language and has been put down for NOT knowing english.. The point is to show the incredible amount of panic a person goes through in a foreign land and feels like they messed up cause of not being able to communicate.. further you dont hear the meaning of words you hear tone and expression of people around you.. Thats what propogates that fear.. That scene was needed to establish that emotion and tension. Its not your fault for not knowing that visceral feeling.

[@cse157vishal5]

Came here to see if you even want to learn anything from previous comments, because I genuinely want to support you if given a chance..

This coffee shop scene was so hard for me to watch in the theater. I can totally relate to this. Things are different in India. I once visited Malaysia on office work and I had a big cultural shock. I went to the cafeteria to eat at the office. There we first need to take all the items we need, and in the end there would be a counter, they check the items you have on the plate and give the bill accordingly and you have to pay. I was a bit confused, I still remember the people behind the counter laughing at me and whispering something, because I wasn't able to figure what to eat, as many food items were totally new to me. I felt really embarrassed and bad. It costs 0$ to be nice. Please be nice to people.

[@AbdulSamad-qv4tr]

And they charge a lot. I did my undergrad from Malaysia. The bigger the plate you have ( as in the food you will put in there), the more money it will cost. And that was such a shock to me. Like there is no fixed price for the food. And if you're new, you think it's gonna be a buffet 🤦🤦🤦. I was so dumbfounded

The guy in the white clothes, (left corner) always is laughing at emotional scenes and making jokes out of some meaningful conversations. This is the reason I prefer to go movies alone, because many grown ups can't process or handle certain emotions, and they use sarcasm and giggles to hide their emotions.

Laughing at inappropriate places is just a defense mechanism

Guys don't laugh and judge the movies you watch cause the culture varies and also it depends on the time the movie was released. Most americans cannot relate to movies like this cause their language ENGLISH is learned and spoken by people of all countries mostly so they happily enjoy the privilege. Some americans make fun of people bacause of their grammatical mistakes in english which pisses me off so much cause bro they themselves just know one language and they dare make fun of people who are multilingual like be for real. Sadly english is considered a must for everyone irrespective of their native language and they are also made fun of . It must be so easy for americans for real. The way non native english speakers speak english is almost perfection but if someone from america has to learn hindi or something then they will be able to relate and also most indians are taught to adjust and adapt which makes them more vulnerable than others who demand and live their life as they wish

[@akashpandey1215]

English is f****** big in our country. Britishers ruled us and they suppressed our culture and language and projected English as the superior language and sadly it is the same nowadays speaking English is cool and it puts you in the position of superiority. Good thing is that people get a lot of good jobs if they have good English because most of global business happens in English medium. But the bad thing in our country is knowing English is cool and not knowing and speaking it badly puts you as an inferior person. Good thing is we have very large English speaking population due to which we have strong services sector IT sector with sales services to the Western countries and get a lot of exports but the bad thing is a lot of people have bad mindset towards their own language and that's really distressing.

[@akashpandey1215]

Another good thing is that in past 10 15 years people are getting aware about their language and started respecting it a lot and a lot of KZbin channels are started promoting Hindi language and the government is also very keen in promoting Hindi language many medical courses in some universities are started providing MBBS courses in Hindi and the current government is pushing our countries Hindi name to the world for example in G20 summit happened in India some weeks back or country welcome everyone to Bharat. India is called Bharat in Hindi.

[@akashpandey1215]

Another problem is that only 60% of our country is Hindi speaking and other are other languages like most of South India doesn't speak Hindi and they don't accept Hindi as a national language because it's very problematic for them to understand Hindi

[@scorpiogirl2192]

This movie is a gem. You know what nowadays also people like me could write English but speaking in front of people is not an easy job for many. As our native language is different we struggle a lot to maintain the decorum of some places. Even getting a job is difficult if you are not good English speakers. So English speaking people should understand although it is a global language it's not easy to learn a different language than your native one. So being sympathetic to non English speakers and helping them out is a good deed indeed rather than laughing at them. And about Shree devi's performance it's really wonderful to watch her again and again through this movie I never get tired of this movie particularly. Gone too soon though she could do a lot more good work if she is still alive.

You guys dont know how indians who dont know how to speak english are made to feel by other indians (unfortunately)....a lot of people look down on you or think you are not well educated (even tho thats not at all the case). Especially for sashi, being the only one in her family who cant speak english she feels vey left out & the fact that they keep mocking her for it and subtly belittle her for it does not help. And all this becomes much worse when she goes abroad, and then she gets yelled at, at the coffee shop...for something as simple as getting coffee, that others can do within seconds, she stuggled so much just bcos she doesn't know english. So its very understandable why she started freaking out and crying, i dont think it was over dramatic or anything at all.

[@sittingduck1735]

The coffee shop scene is from Shashi's POV, that's why it's so intense. The coffee shop lady was rude, which is not an inherently American thing, but it was the language barrier that caused Shashi to panic. I think this is why they chose a black lady to play the role so that people won't misunderstand it as racism (not that it doesn't exist), since the focus of the movie is on language rather than race.

Yes thats a catholic school, or as known in India convent school. They r run by catholic Churches and missionaries, and they r sought after in India because Anglican-Christian education is associated with upper class due to colonialism. The father had weak Hindi because he is from the state of Kerala, where Malayalam is the official language. Altho church funded schools hv been in India (specially Malabar coast, Kerala where the father character is from) since 3rd century, English or Western education was established as the standard form under British rule by Lord Macaulay in 19th century, his intention was to create a class of people who wld be Indian by race, but English in every other aspects. Many Indians educated through this system wld go on to serve the British crown at the expense of their countrymen and when the Brits left, this new class of english educated Indians became the political and ruling class of India. Hence a lot of Indians push their kids to learn english in an attempt to escape the perils of being lower class. Also u shld know that christianity actually started in India before it was legalized in Europe. Saint Thomas established the first church in Kerala in 52C.E under the patronage of Hindu dynasties, while christianity reached Greece during the same time through Saint Paul, it wasnt until 3rd century that it was a well established religion.

[@amanjain1397]

English is seen as an aspirational language in India, as it opens up opportunities in various jobs. Many white-collar jobs in India also deal with overseas clients because of which being well-versed in English tends to give you an advantage over others (who are not). The schools in India are also divided into "English-Medium", "Hindi-Medium" schools, and similarly for other regional languages. The misfortune is that English-medium schools tend to be better in infrastructure, and overall education equality in general. Therefore people tend to draw a conclusion that a person who is fluent in English must be relatively more educated and smart.

I clearly remember getting suspended from school for telling a teacher to shut up because she wouldnt let my mom, who is slow with English, speak. My grandmother knows 3 languages, 2 of which she learnt herself through books, far before the internet was a thing, and yet, she has to tell people over and over again "sorry, no english". If you havent seen the kindest, smartest, most welcoming and gentle people around you, fall short because of nothing other than not knowing English, of course you wouldnt know what that scene means to some people.

There are many newspapers in English Hindi and the regions/state's local language throughout India. The most popular for example here in the state of maharashtra are marathi newspapers Loksatta , Dainik bhaskar and Sakal(there are many more but these three are the most popular). Times of India is an equally popular english newspaper here in Pune maharashtra (though there are many other english newspapers like hindustan times, the hindu, DNA and few more). English newspapers have readers only in cities, in non metro towns only newspapers in local languages sell. No Hindi newspapers here in maharashtra. This film's story is set in pune maharashtra.

The English Teacher from the school is from Kerala which is a southern Indian state where Catholicism is more prevalent. In the southern Indian states, Hindi is not a common language and south Indians don't like to speak in hindi either. Thats why the teacher didnt know any Hindi.

[@EagleOverTheSea]

Hindi belongs to the Indo-European language family. South Indian languages belong to a different language family that is endemic to India. Learning a language from a different family is always a little more challenging. This is also why non-Dravidian language speakers find it difficult to pick up Dravidian languages. Or a person like me who speaks languages from both families gets cold-feet when it comes to learning a Sino-Tibetan language (although I would love to attempt it someday). Some people have more affinity to learning languages than others. So it is not about dislike but just personal inclination / limitations that people in the south do not speak Hindi. Just as people in the North do not try to learn languages from other language families.

[@viditagarwal274]

@@EagleOverTheSea Sure it’s difficult to learn a new language I never denied that. However, as someone who has lived in South India and faced issues because of me speaking in Hindi not knowing the local language, I respectfully disagree.

The movie isn't too far fetched from reality. English is considered the language of the elite and in the big cities where people from different part of India lives ; a lot of the communication happens in english, especially in the newer generation. So the daughter is ashamed of her mom since not speaking english is often looked down upon. Often equated with backward or "uncultured" , especially in the upper social classes. Also the majority of the older generation are not so proficient in english, and contrary to what the movie shows Hindi isnt the national language of India. India doesn't have a national language, hindi is widely spoken in the north, but the east and the south struggles speaking it.

My God, you guys really can't gauge what a scene is depicting, can you?

[@scorpio445]

Try ordering in a different language other than English.. you guys ever been outside US?

[@samip3124]

So India has three language formula most of each Indian state complete different language then theres Hindi most spoken by lot of people but its official language along with English

[@Swag00_0]

To the Indians : in logo ko pata hai ki views India se hi aate hai zyada islye yeh log react karte hai , in saab ka hasi itna fake lagta hai ,kyu dekhte ho in logo ko

[@rxjnnigafan123]

yes many indians are bilingual or trilingual. we will know some amount of spoken english almost certainly. even Sashi can speak english to some extent. there is a bias against people who speak english with an indian accent or even those who make grammatical errors, even amongst indians themselves. we judge, as if fluency in english is the measurement of IQ.

[@KhushiAgarwal-z6j]

Forget about today,in1990s my dad and aunt wanted to take admission in a convent school,they rejected them because my grandparents couldnt speak english in the interview,my dad and bua both spoke fluent english but they didnt get admission,even today students dont get admission in the best college because they aint great at english,students who dont have eng as first language,dont even get the form

[@STargaryan]

Hahahaha make all fun you want..Movie last scene will bring tears to your eyes and I bet on it

[@gathanaranath]

7:06 By the way i dont want u guys to tink everyone in India speaks Hindi. Think of India as a continent honestly. Every single state are like individual countries with individual laungages, culture, food and more. The guy comes from kerala which is a southern state an they have their own laungage there, Malayalam. I also come from there. Its a common misconception that everyone in india should know Hindi which isnt true. I would say north people know hindi more but even some of their states have their own laungages

[@sayedmusthaqeem1631]

times of india is available only in english, and it is one of the popular newspaper in every part of india

[@sayedmusthaqeem1631]

that guy was in spilbergs munich , that french actor

[@beoptimistic3592]

We can speak 2 to 3 language Like I'm from Maharashtra ( a state in West India ) So I can speak 3 language Marathi, Hindi, English

[@monteydhillon48]

This movie is so awesome. Great reaction as always!

[@thesliceoflifepodcast]

We loved it! Part 2 of our reaction is coming out tomorrow!

[@SshivamKhopkar]

Lol😂

[@catlifematters777]

Isko reaction bolte hein? 😂😂 Jaise class mein bachche baittke gossip karte hein ya jokes maarte hein, mujhe to aise he laga. Inko zyaada subcribers aur views milne keliye Bharat waasiyon ki sahaayatha chaahiye, isliye ye log Bharat ke movies ko chunte hein 🥴🥴

[@sayedmusthaqeem1631]

he didnt know hindi because he dont speak it, in that scene she asks is he from kerala. kerala is my state and we dont speak hindi. we speak malayalam which have nothing in common with hindi. in india every state have different languages , so india doesnt have a official national language. so we speak mostly in english to each other

[@starsign0805]

I wonder why they're questioning how common English usage is in India when all the comments from Indian viewers are in English. India has no official language, but there are two recognised unofficial languages - English and Hindi. Most people who've been educated in English medium schools, which is the norm in big cities and towns, use English as their first language. It's super lame, but I don't even know Hindi counting beyond 20.

[@aayushchawla5793]

Guys india is the second most English speaking nation after USA

[@Kanishkx7]

One of my fav movies

[@naysha323]

the teacher at her school wasnt very good at hindi as he is from a diff part of india (kerala) as mentioned in the movie lol, language often changes state to state in india

[@abhishekpawar1090]

These guys genuinely respect indian culture❤️❤️

[@GurpreetSingh-vl1yy]

Lol you really think so

[@rasskids]

If they really respected different cultures, they would act sensible during emotional scenes and not laugh unnecessarily

[@ahanasaha1756]

Oh they for sure do not

[@Inah_00]

God you're so wrong. I don't think we need to point out the fact that they laughed at the coffee scene, something at which our heart broke as Indians

[@AyAy008]

No they don't. They just know that Indians love white validation, So they just pretend to like Indian movies.

[@mudrarakshasa]

A small section of Indians are like this lol

[@rasskids]

Sorry to say but you guys are not ready to review indian movies. Laughing at emotional scenes, you guys actually represents the american mindset which miserably fails to understand those who struggle living in America 👎🏻

[@mindatrest6838]

There are a thousand plus languages in India....22 official ones.... And hindi is just one of the official languages and not the national language....

[@nehachaudhary8022]

You guyz are so cool!

[@Fidah]

Nope. English is one of the official languages of India.

[@sonalithakur1858]

You guys definitely didn't feel the actresses eyes...fidgeting with ur bottles,speakin between important scenes .

[@arya3216]

I really hate when you guys laugh on emotional scenes like a bunch of middle schoolers . Not everything’s meant to be funny and this isn’t the first time you guys are laughing on these things . That’s why I like jaby koay’s channel more . Gotta unsubscribe from your channel

[@mmahcisse7941]

chili(spice or pepper) + pickle = chili pickle. Simple :)

[@Chetanya.06]

I would really appreciate you guys reacting to Ra. One, an Indian sci-fi movie and it's super interesting.

[@AyAy008]

Great, suggest them more horrendous movies like that.

[@maya75327]

Can you guys not just analyse the depth of scenes more closely and act accordingly? What a pity that Ppl from here would face such terrible things in the states for just not understanding a language good enuf, however here in India shopkeepers are much more warm,welcoming and patient with you foreigners,a lot lot lot.

[@madarauchicha9843]

What if she wore nothing then💀

[@jwalkinlife]

obviously you found the coffee shop scene funny, you probably behave that way irl & think the cashier's behavior was normal & that Shashi was being 'dramatic' Just one question- why watch indian movies if you're that much of a bigot? is it just about the money for y'all?

[@mzaidi256]

They should stop listening to that guy in the far left

[@antoniistark16]

You should watch 'MOM'

[@AyAy008]

Look at the Indians complaining in the comments. You guys are the ones who suggested them this movie. It's a movie that's set in the US, and you were asking Americans to watch it. Bollywood almost never fails to portray foreign countries/cultures poorly. The coffee shop scene is totally unrealistic. Non English-speaking people aren't treated that way in the US. Not even by New Yorkers. Especially by customer service workers.

[@Mclovin96X]

there is no offical national language in india

[@havefaithinGod715]

That was a million dollor scene....its a petty you are insensitive to cultural shock people from East experience in the West....its total rejection

[@Nhope800]

Are you guys for real especially the one who wouldn’t stop talking and laughing . Are you kidding me ?! That coffee scene was heart breaking 💔 you just gotto make fun of everything. You will never understand the emotion behind that scene. I have watched a couple of your reaction videos and you guys need to learn a bit about India and our culture and not blatantly laugh at everything. Yes we appreciate you making efforts but we would appreciate you RESPECTING our culture/emotions/sentiments. The first dude - you gotto go back to the basics of being kind and respectful ! Let’s see how you will handle the situation when you step into India and can’t speak Hindi or the local regional language ! Respect is all about give and take and that’s being taught in our culture since we are toddlers. Wish you could understand that 😠

[@kunalchaudhari3140]

There in Pune in movie

[@maynakchakraborty7834]

The left guy is a joker. He has zero sense of cinema

[@Inah_00]

A person that doesn't know how to speak English would know what it feels like to be in an unknown land with no one to help you. It's not a laughing matter for most people.

[@The_humsafar]

coffee scene wasn't funny at all.

[@AyAy008]

But it's highly unrealistic

[@cuzitswhatitis]

Do sacred games season 1 and 2.Nawaz

[@akanksha2475]

That scene was not funny

[@ruby8694]

(Left corner ) guy is so annoying , why do you guys even bring him with you . The other two guys are good at reacting ...

[@bheemakitchen9992]

You guys never understand Indian feelings..

[@birdevindersingh2461]

Stop it guys, stop reacting to our Indian movies.👀 disrespectful. Respect the emotional scenes

[@dee7671]

Watch garam masala if you find it with subtitles
