One day,Victor and his mom heard some news about Arnold's residence. Victor wanted to find his father and he went on a journey with Thomas.Finally they found Arnold's residence but he already died.While he made a travel,he decided to forgive his father.

Relation to case study.
We can see some unfair discrimination in this movie and chapter 10.
In this movie,Victor and Thomas took the bus.There were lots of Americans in there and they gazed at their face strangely.Their attitude was similar with the people who were in Chapter 10.

Reaction to Film.

Actually, While i was watching this movie,i was not impressed.I was a little bit angry.I could't understand Arnold's irresponsibility. But after the movie finished, i could understand his conduct.One thing that i liked in this movie was Thomas. When he called victor with very funny intonation, i laughed a lot. Even though His appearance was a little ridiculous, i liked his funny intonation and action.
