Interpersonal Conflict in Film
The film selection I choose was Spanglish because I never watch it before. The movie
Spanglish was very enlightening experience, as much as it is an expressive experience. To
communicate with someone who doesn’t speak the same language can be extremely difficult and
frustration. The same way that foreign languages feel strange to us, some everyday things in
American culture can seem strange to people in dissimilar nations and vice-versa. I saw in the movie
how people can bond, even if they don’t speak the same language. Living in the same house with all
very different beliefs, custom and values having a cultures clash or sparks was destine to arise. Every

our culturally diversity. In the movie anytime John would try to communicate with Flo he would

avoiding eye contact is sign of respect. Flor and John do not share a mutual language, Flor speaks
only Spanish and John speaks only English, they shortly found themselves passionately involved

superficial and concerned only with their outer appearances. In a variation of comical but also
unpleasant periods; Deborah wasn’t a good mother because she was less worried about what her
children needs. There was various major interpersonal conflicts’ within blended family. In the
Claskys house whole the kids were being taught how to become independent while Flor had
Mexican values regarding her child where having independence is view as being disloyal. Flor is
working hard to make some money for her daughter and herself while knowing very little English.
In the movie Cristina show John a bucket-full of sea glass telling him that he owes her $650 for it all.
Keeping his promise Mr. Claskys puts the money into an envelope and leaves it for her on the table.
Cristina takes the money and counts it in her room; when Flor see all the money has she become
