Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence

This movie was interesting to see how people can act under certain pressures. Solomon communicated with respect at first to show he wanted the job and wanted to please his idol. Once it came out that Tronic was actually a very not moral business man, he was conflicted over making money to help his family and selling out his people. I feel like he could have reported it to the police but ended up just leaving it alone.

When he was visited by a spirit who reminded him of his moral values, he knew the right thing to do and did it.

He code switched and told off the boss as he quit. He did the right thing and didn't do it.

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.

This movie is directed well, the actors do a great job and I only watched a couple clips and I saw that this took a while to make. I love the actor that plays Solomon I think he did a great job. I am excited to find where I can watch this movie and watch the whole movie, so I can get the entire story beginning to end. It teaches a great lesson about ethics and how you can keep true to yourself. I have only watched a little bit of this movie but I think it is a good movie and it can teaches you about ethics and it make you think and laugh. Good job to the director and the actors and everyone else.

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.

I did not really enjoy the movie, that being said I do think it did its job and served its intended purpose. I think the acting could've been better and the writing could've been more clever or better written. Tronic is a great example of thew modern world manger or boss. Nowadays most bosses and managers are white male characters. They all carry themselves in the same manner, they are assertive and like to create power distance. Overall, it was not a good movie. It wasn't entertaining to watch or anything of that sort. I like a lot of others only watched it as an assignment. The movie is more of a YouTube than a production film.
