For starters, this is a very interesting film in my opinion. It has many different elements to it that are so different from all of the American films that people see today. One thing I noticed that this film had a lot of is silence. Other films we've seen like Ixcanul were very quietus well. There were maybe 40 lines of dialogue total in the entire film. Another thing I noticed that was very interesting was that there were very little characters. There were maybe around 6 actors that actually contributed to the main plot. This was also similar to Ixcanul, as there were 4 main characters, the mom, the daughter, the dad, and the daughter's husband. Something that really estranged me in the film was when Abdel's girlfriend came to his house. His parents didn't even know he had a girlfriend by the looks of it, and then proceed to take her in as their daughter. I just don't understand why they did that. Doesn't she have parents too? Some thing I liked about the film were its simplicity and some of the views of what its like in Africa as well.
