What is the meaning of the work as a whole? (theme) What are some of the main messages the film is trying to get across? Consider the topics listed earlier such as family, gender roles, cultural conflict, etc. Once your group has brainstormed a few, write a thematic statement on the whiteboard to review as a class – if someone write yours, come up with another one! No commands / cliché pinterest quotes!
