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.

I didn't watch the whole movie, just a few clips of it. I thought the plot of the movie was interesting, not something I would have thought to watch outside of class. But, I think I may have related to Solomon most in the movie because of his values and the decisions he seemed to have to make. I can see the movie wanted to transmit a couple different cultural and ethical messages, and did a pretty interesting job at doing that. If you watch the movie watch for those messages. There were a lot of different characters who played a role in portraying those messages and who had opinions of their own.

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 think that there were a lot of ethical communication examples throughout the few short clips we watched. I relate more to Solomon specifically because he was being forced to go against his own values and when Nefertiti appeared, she reminded him of his own ethics and values; an important one being family. It can be intimidating and hard to confront and go against what someone else is saying is right, but Solomon decided to quit because he was not going to go against his own ethics and morals.

There are also great examples of code switching and you can see the change in the relationships between the two from the beginning and the end of the movie.

It is a shame that the characters and interactions in this movie are portrayed as they are. There was very little research or thought put into the movie. No emotion, no thought. Most of the time it is hard to watch because the lack of dignity put into the production. Also, the problem that is presented is quite elementary. There are millions of individuals that would be okay with the problems and situations presented in this movie. To make a movie like this you have to actually understand how business happens in this modern world. The characters have no value to the show. There is no real story, more just a jumble of non-sense.

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.

I only was able to watch a few clips of this film in class and the purpose was to analyze the intercultural relationship and communication between the characters Solomon and Tronic. The scenes that I watched addressed how African-American individuals might view business in a different light due to past events that have dramatically shaped the outlook for this people group. The scenes I saw also go over the mental struggle over morality and ethics versus personal gain, especially through the perspective of Saul. This film addresses how past events in a person's culture, that they might not have even personally experienced, can change how they interact with the world in their daily lives.

Based on watching a few clips it seemed like the movie is on its way to a well deserved rating. They way cultures collide in the business world and how people use code switching when speaking to certain cultures is seen indefinitely. One example is Solomon when he is speaking to his boss Mr. Tronic, he uses more formal language. On the other hand, there's a culture difference between Tronic, he was treating Solomon like he was lower and was there because Tronic gave him the opportunity and thew his hard work out the window. The ethical values behind Tronic are also expressed when there was a problem with the coding when Solomon brought it up and Tronic said he did not care.

In this film there was ma man who enjoyed power and he wanted someone to let go of all their values so he got what he wanted. The man tronic was very truthful with what he wanted Soloman to do. He hired him and he was doing the job super well till he realized what tronic wanted him to do. He wasn't okay with it and someone came to him and asked him if what he is doing is morally okay. She was basically like a conscious. Soloman realized what he was doing and didn't want to break the promise with his dad to protect his people and his sister and mom. He kept his promise and did the right thing. When hr did the right thing his boss lost all respect for him.

The movie was trying too hard to push a storyline. They could have been more subtle and had the same effect. When the queen just appeared and reminded Solomon, I honestly found it very cheesy and that deterred me from getting the message. I relate most with Mr. Tronic but I am not going to be as insensitive to employees. I do see myself in his position and will not be discriminatory. The movie was mid and hopefully there is room for improvement in the future that is my honest opinion. Mr Tronic and Nefertiti seemed to lack any character and were very overplayed. Thanks for speaking to class *daps up*
