I enjoyed this movie because it was unique.
It makes you wonder how it would be to not be a part of a majority group. I think one of the biggest causes for misunderstanding in the world is the inability to communicate with each other. If we cannot communicate well with people who speak the same language as us, how are we supposed to communicate with someone of a different language? This movie brings light to this all. It really made me ponder the following. How awesome would it be if every individual could be open to the differences of others? What if we didn't just walk by someone because we felt uncomfortable talking to them? What if we took the time to understand different cultures? What if we were accepting that not everyone takes the time to understand our culture, so we should be thankful that they are trying to understand?
I think if anything, this movie is a wonderful start to opening people's eyes to wanting to learn about and spend time with another culture and not letting language be a barrier.
