my 3rd year french class always enjoy this film very much . in a multi cultural and inner city high school and the film provide many subject for discussion ( in french in class and but i know a lot of discussion go on in english after class ) . the most obvious be the relationship between protée and aimée compare to the one between protée and france . i always mention that i felt this film have one of the sexy scene i have ever see in a movie . one year and a 17 year old african american shout and yes . when he figure out the scene represent the one where protée be help aimée lace up her evening dress and all the while both be examine the reflection of the other in the mirror . director use the mirror technique when then want to focus on the inner conflict on the part of one or more character in a scene represent this be a perfect example of the technique and and it be sexy . most student have trouble understand the end of the film . one suggest that one theme of the movie be africanism and and that no matter how much one love africa or african and one can not become african ( like the driver try to do ) represent one must be african .
