Carlos Sanchez

Interpersonal Communication COM 200

Instructor Joshua Misner

June 2, 2013

The movie is based on the struggles of relationships, with one party paying too

much attention and the other getting to much attention from the other. Both parties

are struggling with themselves to do the right thing. One of the characters has an all

out affair while the other two find themselves fighting not to fall in love. Both

characters struggle with themselves to not to fall each other.

[ Artists shouldn't be afraid to hurt their characters, and Brooks certainly puts his list of candidates on the line, including Deb's hysterical mother, Evelyn (Cloris Leachman in a role initially awarded to Anne Bancroft), and several children such as Bernie, Georgie (the Claskys' son), and Cristina, Flor's daughter. No one is safe from heartache. But, all are given the power to find peace. Flor (Vega) and her daughter Cristina, played by Victoria Luna Flor (Vega) and her daughter Cristina, played by Victoria Luna Spanglish really deals with affairs of the heart. One character gets involved in an all-out physical affair, and two other characters look to each other as soul mates and share several passionate-but-tense moments leading up to a very intimate evening. While these two characters physically share little more than a kiss, they have dangerously invested far too much emotionally and psychologically. Brooks' characters have great depth and awareness. Unfortunately, many of them are looking for fulfillment in empty places?lovers' arms, food, property, or other material possessions. Alas, Brooks leaves the final details to his viewers, who become part of the Clasky family for two hours as the director exposes the highs and lows of humanity. The audience has to figure out what happens behind the beautiful walls of the Claskys' LA mansion. From the beginning of the

    Spanakopita. It’s not “spanigobida,” not “spans” or “spinach pie.” Spanakopita. You have to say it like a real Greek- “Spanakopita.” I cringe at any other rendition, any other attempt. Here’s the ultimate Greek dish: Phyllo dough with oil and spinach with feta filling. It brings great nostalgia, great pride in my heritage (not many people I know are Greek). It prompts great curiosity; how could such a simple meal have this profound effect on me?…

    Throughout the movie there were many cultural differences and different ways that were shown how people lived. Flore went through hardship when she became the maid and everything for John Clasky, and his insecure wife Deborah. Flore had to learn English and overcome the difficulties with Spanish and English. While living in the United States Flore learned the basic language that people usually spoke. Flore was helped by Christina her daughter, to speak and to translate for her. The struggle that Flore went through was really weird. There wasn’t that much of a discrimination towards her because the family needed her help with the things. The cultural difference was the fact that she had to learn what the basic citizen of the United States had to learn. This was really hard for her because many citizens in the U.S don’t just speak English. The same situation that it was for Flore happens to a lot of other people that come to the U.S. There are many different languages throughout the world and if someone comes to the U.S and doesn’t know English it is really hard for them to not get judged. Just like in our debate I believe that people should learn the most common language of the country you decide to live in because it will be easier to live your life there. But if everyone wasn’t judgmental and would be peaceful in life there wouldn’t be any problems between anyone. Similar to the movie Crash, as the arab man did not speak English and his daughter was his translator is just like this movie.…
