Relation to Case Study

This movie related to chapter 10. Indian was ignored by other people in this movie. I don’t know why American ignores Indian, because I ‘m not American. So I don’t understand. So they felt bad in this movie. Chapter 10 Tony and Francine felt same emotion. They were painful. But Indian ignores that people ignore Indian.

Reaction to Film

This movie was funny and sad. I was able to know about Indian and when I watched this movie, I thought my father. I missed my father and mother. And I was able to know about Indian in detail. Unless I watch this movie, I never know about Indian. So I got many information through this movie.
