Smoke Signals

I enjoyed this film because although it definitely had its depressing parts (like the beginning), Thomas and Victor made funny travel buddies. This film seemed different from many of the others we have watched because the actors talked differently, and even though it wasn't made that long ago, Chris Eyre  made it seem like an old classic. I loved the way Thomas talked in the movie because it reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite. He would say random things that wouldn't make any sense, but were funny because you never really knew what he was talking about. It was easy to see the difference between Victor and Thomas because Victor was a hard core indian that didn't come off all that friendly. Thomas was easy to talk to, very kind to people (even if he had just met them), and wouldn't hurt a fly. I think Victor put up with Thomas all the time (as much as he couldn't stand him) because he had lost both his parents when he was very young. This film was creatively written because there were many hidden themes (such as both Thomas and Victors parents dying, them meeting Suzy Song, both of them having rough childhoods, etc.) My favorite part of the whole film would have to be when Thomas constantly says "Hey Victor!"
