Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence

What I got back from the film was that Tronic was "the bad guy" to Solomon. I really didn't understand the whole concept of the purpose of the film. I didn't understand because almost every sene was in a different place and it was also didn't story lines that Tronic and Solomon were talking about. I think that the film could have been more better and not so fake. It seemed fake because I feel like anyone could easily figure out what can happen. I feel like I would see this film in highschool and students would be recording them selfs for a project that they have to do for school. Overall I think the script could have been a little more better.

Just watching a little bit of the movie kind of confused me about the whole point of the movie. With the little time we watched the movie I was able to identify some examples of code-switching. An example of this is how quickly Salomon changes his emotions towards Tronic. I believe this movie shows a great way of intercultural communication and how it is applied. I can relate the most with Salomon. Coming from a different country and whole different culture relates me to him. When taking decisions morality and ethics should come into play, and I believe that I would've done the same thing Salomon did.

I really liked the plot in this movie, I watched about 10 minutes of it in class and it seemed very intriguing. It tied well into real world interactions, however I feel like some of the lines were a bit on the nose and over the top. Especially, Tronic who was incredibly direct, sometimes to a fault, and it really through off the pace of the movie for me. I couldn't really get into the scenes that he was present in. I also feel Nefertiti's entrance was incredibly cheesy. I feel the writers could have been a bit more creative in that aspect. Overall, I think these points all contribute to my 5/10 rating.

I think that this was really interesting. There is the character named Mr. Tronic and I think that it is obvious to see his mindset and his character's personality in this show. You can see though that the character wants to be liked by people who are out there and up there in the business worlds. It is true for a lot of people and I think this film does a good job portraying that. I only saw a little bit of this film because it was for my communication course so I cannot write a full review on this film. I will definitely go back and watch the rest of this and then come back and respond and make another review.

The movie was good. Applies principles of intercultural communication and portrays the concepts of code switching and cultural norms. This movie takes the relationships between cultures as experienced in the everyday world into the business world. The issue of big companies selling the information of their customers is also touched upon. I think that this issue is a prominent one in contemporary culture and should be touched upon more often. Hopefully other movies can build upon this and do the same. It is the role of movies and art like this to expose the inner workings of business and culture to bring them to the light.
