Recently, through my Asian-American Literature class, I found out that on Tuesday, March 13th at the MFA, there was going to be a pre-screening of Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Namesake." For those of you who do not know what a pre-screening is, it is when you are able to see a film before it is released for the public. Pretty cool right? The only other pre-screening I've ever been to was "Josie and the Pussycats" because my mom worked for Revlon and they happened to use a lot of their products in the film...so lucky me! I was 13, it was exciting. But back to "The Namesake.""The Namesake" is about an American-born boy, Gogol (played by Kal Penn, who you know as Kumar from "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle") who tries to reconcile with his parents' traditional lifestyle and expectations while trying to fit in among his fellow New Yorkers as well.
Tickets are available today, Monday, March 12th at the Asian American Center at 109 Hemenway. But if you have not already nabbed a ticket to this by the end of today, the only way to see it would be to go early and wait on stand by. The film starts promptly at 7pm, and five minutes before, open seats will become available to those who come on stand by. Good luck!
