You should apply at least 5 different concepts that apply to the movie’s main theme(s). NB: Among your main themes might be identity (How do the main characters identify themselves? How do their “histories” influence intercultural interactions and how they think of themselves and others?), cultural barriers (Discuss ethnocentrism, stereotyping, prejudice and/or discrimination), cultural dimentions, communication patterns (strategies), nonverbal communication, adaptation/assimilation etc. Each of these themes can be broken down to further concepts (e.g. cultural dimensions by E.
