Family Values

[ccthemovieman-1 · 7/10 · 21 April 2011]

This episode mainly deals with timely topic of Islamic beliefs, and what happens to an Americanized Arabic family who don't see the "old ways" as the best for everyone. We aren't into politics, here, on this crime story but relationships such as pre-arranged marriages. The conflict between old and new regarding a love situation leads to a violent death.

Since one of the guys involved, "Brian," is a good army buddy of Kyle's we get Horatio's son involved in here, but he's more of an onlooker for awhile until becoming a participant in one facet. The ending has a touching moment with "H" and Kyle.

The actors here and good realistic as Iranians.

True Love

Traditions can cause people to do stupid things. We need to learn how to allow ourselves to adapt to change. Then we can learn from our mistakes and grow to be better people with understanding and acceptance, the way God wants us to be.

Cultural details of the story doesn't add up.

This was the first episode of this show that I saw. At the first look, the CSI officer's good looking outfits capture my attention. Then the supper clean work environment and empty glass shelves of their laboratories. Then casual interrogation with the suspects which were more like a chat with their family lawyers. On the positive side, the story unfolds in an accepting manner and you can easily follow how they discover the facts. The concept of arranged marriage is still an accepted tradition among some families from middle eastern countries. And still some (dis)honoring related murders happens among some uneducated and strictly religious or tradition-oriented families. But the Faroogh family portrait in this show are far more high class than a family that I expect these actions from. As a guy from middle east, I had a hard time figuring out which country is the Faroogh family from. The names and clothes selection and the accents were implying a high class Pakistanian family. Then suddenly some Farsi word appears in the documents recovered from the crime scene. Then some more hints to Iranian heritage of the father of the family. It seems to me that for the writers and directors of this episode didn't bother even asking the Iranian actor of this episode about these details, which is an indication of the ignorance toward details.

This lack of attention to the details of the show was the most annoying part. At least for me and my wife.

almost laughable

Week after week i watch natalia boa vista showing up to crime scenes wearing white tight slacks yet she never gets them dirty, isn't that curious enough...there are hundreds of different nationalities living in miami so yes its a melting pot of cultures
