   If I was in the position where the protagonist is, also I would put in favour of thao.
   the first I would recover the situation and I take the video of the police, because the police it had a sufficients evidence for to take the pertinents measuring.
   Never I have an argument with them because I them somethin happens you can finish you can finish your as the blame of the whole situation

   Hi Maribel,

   The film had many topics: the racism, migartionMIGRATION, respect, violence, the integration of some characters. In this history they will WE see an a old man who wants to live calm and he is racist. The old man will help his neighbors who are different race to heFROM HIM. The old man is Walt Kowalski, this charcter will put end TO violence between two groups of hmong.

   I like this film because the principal character is the old man and hIS personality advances while the movie happens. The parts of I more like MOST were when Walt Kowalski it is in the house of his neighbors and protects them. The other part that I like is the end, nobody EXPECTS wait for this end and the end demostrateSHOWS that the violence never that ends with more violence.

   Hi Maribel,

   First, it has been a very funny movie, I have liked it very much. It has a final encouraging message and transcendente?????, doing a critique toCRITIZINSING the modern man, who aloneONLY values the money.

   The father Janovik and his “yellow” neighbors, can find the humanity of this dark personageCHARACTER, showing him that not everything is revenge and hatred, also there is friendship, which is more important.

   This is my little opinion about this movie, and I hope that we see more, hahaha

   Bye Maribel, Edgar Gutiérrez Biel

   THANKS FOR YOUR OPINION EDGAR

   The film contains a lots of topics like racism, migration, vengeance, faith , loneliness , but I think that the best topic is the social integration, of how the old man finally accepted a difFerent culture.
   I like another topic that is the end of the violence. The violence creates more violence and the old man finished this saving the hmong with his own life, without any kind of gun or knife, only with his LIGHTER.

   THANKS DANIEL, YOU’RE RIGHT, REMOVING VIOLENCE WITH PERSONAL SACRIFICE IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON OF THE FILM, NICE POINT
