New Boy

I've watched the film "New Boy". This was a story about the boy named Joseph from Africa, who has miserable past and the teacher and students in Ireland.

This film didn't tell me that much information about his back ground. I only know are he was from Africa, his father, working as a teacher got killed by rifle in front of him, he spoke English, and somehow he came to Ireland.

And I could find some differences between two classes, African class and Ireland class. First one, the students in Ireland use the notebooks and pencils when they studied, but the students in Africa used the black boards and chalks and they returned them to teacher after class.

Joseph and 2 boys had a fight, so they were punish by their teacher, then their class mate, Isabella called their teacher "bitch", then the boys looked at eache other and laughed. I've experienced like that situation before. Sometimes, unexpected happening develop a friendship. There was a laughter and also new friendship. Like that thing and that people can fit in the new culture..those are filmmaker wanted to tell us. ..i guess.
