Bend it like Beckham film quotes
Joe: Your mum’s a barrel of laugh compared to my dad.
When Joe says this he’s just simply saying that Jess’ mother is not as bad compared to his dad. This shows he dislikes his dad in a way.
Taglines: Sometimes, to follow your dreams... you've got to bend the rules!
This quote defines that if you want to achieve your goal or dreams you have to go out of your way to do it and sometimes that means to break the rules.
Joe: Your parents don’t always know what’s best for you.
This quote from the movie is saying that your parents always try to do what’s best for you, but sometimes they don’t realise that it is not actually the best decision. Sometimes it takes time for them to realise that different decisions need to be made and that they should sometimes let you decide for yourself. This is clearly shown in Bend it like Beckham because at first Jess’ parents don’t let her play football but soon later they realised that playing football was the only dream she had and decided to let her play.
